Had mine since earlyJanuary now in the UK, great run around car, commuting to train-station. Full charge last about two weeks if you stay off motorways. Charges fast on 50Kw chargers, about 40 mins. Great car and the APP works for those icy mornings. I preferred this over the MG due to the tech.

I absolutely love mine! Had it since Nov and covered just under 8k. Performance is good, economy good, looks good and has a nice interior. I turn most of the assistance aids off!! I much prefer this over my old EVs which were cupra born, EV Niro and mg4. I didn't have a great experience with MG as the customer back up was shocking! In the dolphin 0-60 on the trip I've managed 5.9 in the wet cold 5deg weather.

I test drove the Dolphin at Everything Electric London yesterday. I really liked it. The outside styling reminds me of the Honda Jazz, the inside is toned down compared to some of BYD‘s other offerings. A good package, it does what it says on the tin in most aspects. I think it would sell very well if they could get the pricing right, taking into account the import tariff issue

Tish, about the computer/navigation on the BYD, I believe it runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon system (credit: Wheelsboy UKposts channel). As for the comments about the sticker price, the UK has a 25% tariff on Chinese-made imports (as I'm sure you know).

Great video Tish love the looks and the quality looks good the price is still expensive . Looking forward to the Renault 5 and Skoda epic lower price

I agree with you Tish the single colour and simple pattern look a lot better

good video Tish, question, did you get a change to test the range??

Actually, BYD did not outsell Tesla in EV sales last year. Yes, BYD outsold Tesla as a whole, but BYD also makes PHEVs in other markets. However, BYD’s popularity is increasing massively in many places such as Latin America, so I do think BYD will eventually lead the global EV market, even without a presence in the US, Canada or most of central/Eastern Europe.

my favorite part is at 10 minute 57 second mark. "Hancocks" perhaps she means Hankooks😂😂

Ahh! Nice video Tish! You said smaller wheels, what size were they? I think its light and day better overall than the MG 4. Sad we wont see it here ib Cyprus for at least a couple of years, if ever!

Considering a comfort spec against the Born v1 and MG4 Trophy. Keep coming back this

I love the tri colour alloys on it. So unique and different.

Byd is doing great

Nice ev.

Very good looking vehicle, both interior and exterior. The seats are really modern and stylish. The vehicle is electric which is great, but also small and simple for the price. And what sort of name is BYD Dolphin for a car 🚗? A different name should have been chosen for this car 🚗. I wouldn't get one because it's not so impressive too me. Nice review as always Tish and love 💕😘 the look you have today.

Rear wiper 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Is it really “Super Safe”?

Are the new dolphins on hankook tyres ?? Can somebody who got it recently confirm please ??

Tish, the safety systems could be right, they have widened the dual carriage way where I live but have reduced the speed to 60 mile an hour.

I’d have a look but no dealers anywhere near me unfortunately…🤔 not so sure about these designs with a huge wall between driver n passenger seats… 😮

i honestly think MG4 is better than Dolphin. Having sit in both cars in front passenger seats, MG4 is more spacious because MG4 is wider in dimension compared to Dolphin. But Dolphin backseats have better legrooms. Overall Dolphin is kinda small and not cheap.

My dream and ❤

If it's £20k I may consider it. Plus lack of dealers put me off.

💜💜💜

The volume is very low.

Battery prices have fallen dramatically and that should filter through to new car prices. If possible, I would wait until cars like this drop in price by a fair old margin.

We've just bought a Dolphin. We went for the lower "Comfort" spec only because it doesn't have that panoramic roof which robs too much headroom. Sadly we had to go grey because the nice colours are reserved for the top "Design" spec, and the other choices were white, pink, purple or custard vomit.

It’s not the worst looking car, and good that small cars are still out there in our dominant SUV market.

How is that considered a small car ?

Electric vehicles with a decent range cost over £30000, I have a 60 mile daily commute, don't have access to off road parking and there's a lack of charging points in the area, I've owned my little diesel for 13 years, I could drive for 2 weeks between fill ups and it takes around 10 minutes, the only charger connected to the grid near me is in a car park which closes at night and costs a fortune to park there, I don't know what the cost is for charging, I wouldn't think it would be cheaper than my diesel which averages 80mpg, I also don't like the idea of paying by card, I'm old school, I pay with cash, my car has covered 150000 miles and still going strong, I'm not saying that a battery won't last 150000 miles, but will it be as cheap to run as a diesel averaging 80mpg? Electric vehicles are designed more for short journeys unless you buy a Tesla or something like that at nearer to £100000, as a depreciating asset, I'm not prepared to outlay that sort of money even if I had that much, I have three properties, all together they cost less than the average Tesla, VW bus, larger Kias and Hyundais, and they aren't depreciating

Thanks for the info.

Really interesting, I'm glad BYD have introduced a cheaper entry level model. I still think their pricing is too high, but this is a step in the right direction

Cant believe im saying this butt... 30k in todays ev market brand new top spec all that tech is cheap!!.. id get on for commute to work!

Is it google os?

Is three million cars in 30 years a lot?

Voice control is better than buttons and EuroNCAP are missing this.

Tish you need to sort your sound out.

Dull looks and too expensive for a brand new to the uk with limited dealer network

Does it support Apple CarPlay?

That must be in the top of the range one Tish. I was looking at a lower spec one a couple of months ago and it was no where near as nice as you describe. It was all cheap scratchy plastics not nice at all but for its price its probably not bad.

You sure about that?🤔

No spare tyre 😢, but i do like that it comes with smaller tyres.

I think it's about time we called vegan leather what it actually is - plastic. I'm not having a go at you for using the expression because it is in common use but it is an expression that implies that it's good for the environment when it is oil based and difficult to recycle from my understanding.

What the geniuses behind all this voice control don’t get is that a button is easy, try talking to a car with three kids in the car all talking at the same time. Yeah exactly unless you have trained the kids to go quiet on saying BYD it’s useless.

too low volume

Nah, the Renault 5 looks like a far better choice for this category.

you need to upload in 4k

BYD dolphin only cost half UK price in china, how come we pay double prices because political reason. Our govt won't let people enjoy cheap china product. If NO china EV , did you think the TESLA will cut their price? Same story VW ID range cost half UK price in china. WE will control by american company like APPLE and TESLA to pay higher price and make a huge profit BUT china product give me feel value for money.The china EV market very compatible , lot of China EV maker to choose from budget to premium model.

I’ve seen some BYD products about (mainly atto 3s), they didn’t look to great. Doesn’t help that one of them was on a tow truck. As bleak as things are now, I’m interested in seeing how they improve and innovate.

They outsold Tesla on EVs in the fourth quarter only.

Tish is a B.Y.D.(Beautiful Young Driver)!💝

They really need a new phrase now BYD. I am sick of the current one. Sorry I have heard of them and know all about them but I am sure there is loads of people out there who have not.

Got to love those marketing guys. Renaming plastic as 'vegan leather' and getting people to swallow it is some skillful work. 😂 Also, the quickest way to ruin an otherwise compelling car is to fit a giant non-integrated central screen. Without exception they all look bloody awful.

You should mention in your reviews that EV have heavy depreciation and Some insurers will not insure BYD vehicles. Private buyers should stay far away from EVs. Range is nothing like the manufactures stated range, this is only achieved in a Lab, accelerating very slowly, and maintaining a constant speed of 28.5 MPH.

You should look at some of the BYD videos coming out of China. Wouldn't touch any of them with a bargepole

The BYD fires will continue to put me off. They have more car fires than any other brand world wide for 2023.

still overpriced

Looked over this car at Fully Charged last summer at Farnborough was not impressed with it. Poor quality materials, boring looks and uninspiring range with a very large price tag. Not for me.

BYD = BURN YOUR DRIVEWAY😂😂😂

Cheap Chinese Crap . Market being flooded by these Chinese cars for , probably , nefarious reasons . Leave well alone people.

By the time your BYD car leaves the showroom it will already have been responsible for creating more pollution than an average petrol car would generate in its entire lifetime - and by a long way too - you are being conned!

£30,000 for a Chinese made car. No thank you

So what you driving these days? Errrm a Dolphin! 😂 No thanks, a four wheeled Chinese electric appliance is not for me.

The look is not quite attractive.

Avoid at all costs !

It’s a battery car. No future.
