BYD DOLPHIN 70kW Active 44.9kWh.5dr.Auto

The entry Active car, which costs a little over £26,000, getting some surprisingly high-end equipment including electrically adjustable vegan leather seats, 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen, 360-degree camera and 16-inch alloy wheels. Metallic paint, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control and a host of safety kit are all also among what is a comprehensive set of standard equipment on a car at this price point.
The entry car’s price undercuts potential alternatives such as the MG 4, and significantly undercuts the likes of the Cupra Born, VW ID3 and Smart #1, as well as the smaller Renault Zoe and Peugeot e-208. It will charge from 10-80% in 40 minutes .
Also worthy of note is that BYD fits a heat pump as standard to all cars. That device helps maintain the vehicle’s range when the temperature drops, which is a recognised problem for EVs when winter comes around.
