The model
Read full BYD Dolphin reviewThanks to its list price, practicality and relatively plush interior, the BYD Dolphin looks like a decent alternative to the Vauxhall Corsa Electric and MG4 EV. True, those rivals handle better and they can charge more quickly, but the Dolphin is comfortable and drives well enough for a small car. The smaller battery versions make the most sense, with plenty of kit and enough performance for the price.
The trim
See full equipmentMid-spec Boost trim comes with the same battery as Active but with a more punchy electric motor. It adds 17in alloy wheels and multi-link rear suspension (for improved comfort and cornering).
The engine
See full engine specsWith 174bhp and a 7.5 second 0-62mph time, the Boost feels more lively and makes reaching motorway speeds or nipping into spaces in traffic less stressful.
