Regular viewers will know that we’re rather keen on the BYD Dolphin – a small family electric car with a decent range, loads of kit and a price tag that could almost be referred to as affordable.

So why are we back behind the wheel again? The first time we saw the Dolphin, we weren’t allowed to drive it. Then, when we are allowed to, a technical issue meant that we didn’t get to experience the car at its best. We had another go a few months ago, but at that point, the car wasn’t registered in the UK. So finally, after months of waiting, we’re FINALLY getting to drive the BYD Dolphin right here in the same specification you can buy.

The Dolphin is just over 4.2 metres long (4,290mm) and around 200mm longer than a Vauxhall Corsa Electric and a Peugeot e208. However, unlike the Corsa, Peugeot and MINI it’s built on an all-electric platform designed from the outset to be a purely electric set of underpinnings.

Although BYD offers the Dolphin in its home market with two small battery options (30.7kWh and 44.9kWh) the brand has reworked the car for Europe and is offering a bigger 60kWh pack and faster charging capability, along with the 44.9kWh unit.
The entry-level Active model has the 44.9kWh battery and 93bhp motor giving around 211 miles of range. The Boost has a more powerful 178bhp motor and 17-inch wheels which hit efficiency, so the range drops to 188 miles. The Comfort and Design use the bigger 60.4kWh battery and 201bhp motor, giving a range of 265 miles.
