The new BYD Dolphin Surf arrives in Europe as a 100% electric option designed for agile urban driving, but with styling and features worthy of higher segments. With a modern and playful design, smooth lines, and vibrant colors like Lime Green, the new Dolphin Surf is ready to shake up the market. While it adopts a sporty hatchback silhouette, BYD’s new city car is aimed at a wide audience, clearly focused on urban drivers looking for a functional, connected, and sustainable vehicle.
Inside, the Dolphin Surf offers a surprisingly spacious design for its size (3.99 meters long) and very competitive build quality. The dashboard features a 10.1” rotating touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a clear and simple digital display. In terms of equipment, even the base model includes a navigation system, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and a rear-view camera. The lineup consists of three versions:
Active (88 hp, 220 km urban range, 30 kWh battery, 60 kW charging),
Boost (88 hp, 322 km urban range, 43.2 kWh battery, 85 kW charging), and
Comfort (156 hp, 310 km urban range, 43.2 kWh battery, 85 kW charging), which adds extras like a 360° camera and automatic high beams.
