The BYD Dolphin is a battery-electric hatchback produced by the Chinese electric car company BYD. It is available in several European countries. It's the most affordable EV in a BYD's current lineup here in Europe.
The BYD Dolphin comes in four versions, although availability varies by market:
- Active
- Boost
- Comfort
- Design
The BYD Dolphin is powered by the BYD Blade Battery (LFP). The Active and Boost models are equipped with a 44.9 kWh battery capacity. In contrast, the Comfort and Design models feature a 60.4 kWh battery capacity. The range also varies depending on the version, with the Active and Boost models able to reach up to 340 km and 310 km, respectively. The Comfort and Design models, with their larger battery capacity, can achieve a range of up to 427 km.
The top speed is generally consistent across models at 160 km/h, with the exception of the Active version, which achieves a slightly lower top speed of 150 km/h. All models are FWD and share the same electric motor.
The Active version is equipped with a 7 kWh charger, resulting in a charging time of 7 hours and 18 minutes for a 0-100% charge. Conversely, other models come with 11 kW chargers. Charging the Boost version takes 5 hours due to its smaller battery capacity, while for the Comfort and Design models, it takes 6 hours and 12 minutes.
