About
The BYD Dolphin is a compact electric hatchback that makes EV ownership accessible.

The top variant delivers 204 hp with a 0-100 km/h time of 7.0 seconds. Its youthful, marine-inspired design stands out in the segment, while the interior offers a 12.8-inch rotating display, V2L capability, and a surprisingly roomy cabin.
