I love the look of the Dolphin, especially in the two tone colours! BYD seem to be one of the better Chinese car brands for quality.

Thanks! Agreed, a lot of Chinese cars are a little bit disappointing in terms of quality, but BYD are competing with VW on that front 👍

Great review. I would have liked to have seen a pros and cons section and some comparisons to other similar sized EVs but you've captured the main features of the Dolphin. I'm going to see one in the flesh later this week and will probably get one. This is pretty heavily influenced by the very poor trade-in value of my iD3 and the fantastic current PCP offers on the Dolphin.

Thank you for the feedback! To be honest there is very little wrong with the car so the cons list would be virtually non existent 😆Its a solid car and as long as the styling is to your taste you should be happy with it!

The Dolphin is actually the size of a VW ID.3, not a Polo. I agree it is better than an ID.3. Your comments about wind noise surprised me. The Atto 3 was absolutely terrible for wind noise at 70 mph+, absolute deal breaker. But I didn’t get that on the Dolphin. I loved its ride, comfort and performance. All really good. Surprised they are still delivering Dolphins on LingLong tyres. They were going to switch to Hankook … I agree with your conclusion. And yes I would buy one too. Just discovered your channel today and have subscribed.

Thanks for the Info and the sub! I found wind noise on the Dolphin to be perfectly acceptable and depending on what car you are coming from, you might find it to be a non issue. I completely agree regarding comfort, these seats are lovely and supportive and they look good too!

Great review! I've had mine in the comfort trim in urban grey since Nov. I absolutely love mine, I've had the cupra born, Niro and mg4(awful reliability and dealership back up😂) all 3 around 35k miles in total . If you swap the ling longs it transforms the handling. 0-60 can be achieved at 6 seconds on the trip which I've achieved a few times with practice....

Hey Peter, thanks for watching and commenting! 100% agree, the Dolphin is very impressive and very efficient. Interesting point about the tyres, what did you swap them for?

@peterarmstrong3853 23 күн бұрын

@@theinterfacecars I had them swapped for Hankooks. I was really unhappy with them especially in the wet! Only had them on for a week
