BYD Dolphin Trim Levels - Which Model is Right For You?

BYD Dolphin Active

The entry-level Active model delivers exceptional value with the smaller 44.9kWh battery, offering an ideal balance of affordability and capability for urban and suburban driving. Here are the highlights: 

• Range & Battery: 44.9kWh battery, up to 211 miles WLTP
• Power: 95hp, 0-62mph in 12.3 seconds
• Charging: DC rapid charging up to 60kW

The BYD Dolphin Active is a great choice for Eastbourne and Uckfield residents with primarily local driving needs (under 70 miles daily), perfect for commuters, small families, or as a second household vehicle. The 211-mile range easily covers a week of typical journeys across the county.

BYD Dolphin Boost

The Boost model upgrades to a more powerful motor for significantly improved performance while retaining the efficient 44.9kWh battery – the sweet spot for drivers wanting spirited acceleration. Here are the highlights:

The range-topping Design model adds unique two-tone exterior colours and premium interior finishes while retaining the Comfort's excellent 265-mile range and performance. Here are the highlights: 

• Range & Battery: 60.4kWh battery, up to 265 miles WLTP
• Power: 204hp, 0-62mph in 7.0 seconds
