Used BYD Dolphin for sale
Sitting in the BYD range as their all-electric hatchback, the Dolphin is BYD's most compact model, and is rather funky, with interesting features that may set it apart from its more conventional rivals like the Vauxhall Corsa Electric, Peugeot e-208 and Volkswagen ID.3.
What are positives for choosing a BYD Dolphin? Some are listed below:
- Generous standard equipment
- Keenly priced
- Interesting and somewhat funky looks
- Good performance
- Fully-electric
Engines and Driving Experience
Being fully-electric, the BYD Dolphin uses a 60kWh battery, with various electric motors, offering varying power levels which are highlighted below:
- 94bhp - 211-mile range
- 174bhp - 193-mile range
- 201bhp - 265-mile range
Interestingly, it's the most powerful 201bhp variant which offers the most performance and range. It also takes just 7.0 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 62mph, which is more than enough for a car like this, and will not feel slow, at all.
However, it's not as dynamic as its competition, which will feel more nimble, especially when compared to the likes of the Peugeot e-2008.
Practicality and Running Costs
For a hatchback, the Dolphin offers decent practicality traits, with a 345-litre boot which should be able to accommodate a pair of large suitcases.
The Dolphin also features five doors as standard, with plenty of interior space, so getting comfortable should be fairly easy.
As for running costs, its fully-electric nature should see it be able to return up to 265 miles, which is fine, as it is in the same ball pack as its rivals.
Running costs will be fairly reasonable, with benefits like the car being exempt from London's congestion charge and the like.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
The interior of the BYD Dolphin is nicely modern, with a digital instrument cluster, along with a large 12.8-inch Tesla-like central screen which controls the car's settings and features.
This of course features 'essentials' like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming as standard, so you can get up to speed rather easily, if you prefer with these smartphone set-ups, without the worry of learning a new operating system.
Safety tech is impressive too, on the Dolphin, with lots of decent features coming as standard such as high-beam assist, adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist all including, meaning driving is easier and safer.
Is the BYD Dolphin right for me?
The Dolphin is another model from BYD which will certainly appeal to those looking for a unique alternative to the major manufacturers out there.
BYD has had considerable growth and exposure, and their cars present a fine alternative which many will like, due to their generous standard features and funky vibe.
If you don't want the usual Peugeot, Vauxhall etc. hatchbacks, then a used BYD Dolphin is certainly worth a look.
