Its compact size and tight turning radius make it especially well-suited for city living, easily slipping into narrow streets and tight parking spaces. Whether you're commuting, running errands, or navigating peak-hour traffic, the Dolphin offers an effortless, smooth driving experience with a whisper-quiet cabin.

 

With a WLTP range of 340-427 km and DC fast-charging, it covers all the essential bases. Charging times are competitive in its class, allowing owners to top up quickly and get back on the road. For most daily needs, the Dolphin offers more than enough range, and the convenience of at-home charging means fewer trips to public stations.

 

The interior features a floating touchscreen, voice control, and playful color options that appeal to younger audiences and city dwellers. The smart layout includes ample headroom, smart storage compartments, and a clean design that feels modern yet functional. BYD also integrates its latest infotainment system, offering connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless in-car entertainment and navigation.

 

Despite its size, the Dolphin is loaded with safety and convenience features, including lane-keeping assist, rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system (on select trims), and adaptive cruise control. It's a compact car that punches above its weight when it comes to comfort and technology.
