The compact electric car that’s built for the big city

Charging

Charging made easy

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF has a maximum DC charging rate of 85kW – which means it can get from 30% to 80% of battery capacity in just 22 minutes. This recharge rate easily supports daily urban commutes, but also means the DOLPHIN SURF can take on longer journeys when needed.

Exterior

A design where function meets fun

BYD DOLPHIN SURF has a distinctive stance, with a single-arch profile that creates exceptional cabin space. A wide contour rises along the side of the car for an enhanced sporty look.

A ‘floating roof’ and full-width LED tail-lights

The C-pillar of the BYD DOLPHIN SURF boasts a dot-matrix design inspired by ice crystals. It helps to visually separate the roof, creating a ‘floating’ effect.

Meanwhile, the rear features full-width LED tail-lights, another fun feature of this compact electric car.

Stunning daytime-running lights

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF's headlights feature clean, crisp lines, consisting of six angled light strips. The compact EV also has daytime-running lights to create an overall sharp and sophisticated look.

Sporty rear spoiler

The DOLPHIN SURF’s integrated roof spoiler enhances its sporty look – adding to its aerodynamic profile, helping to improve efficiency, and contributing to excellent range.

Interior

All the tech you’d expect from a BYD

The DOLPHIN SURF has a smart cabin that’s packed with useful technology. The dashboard features BYD’s signature 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen, equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The DOLPHIN SURF also features voice control via a ‘Hi BYD’ command allowing you to access many key functions without taking your hands off the wheel.

Safe and easy to use

The key feature of the entire instrument panel, the 10.1-inch display is just the right height, allowing the driver to drive safely without becoming too distracted from the road ahead or surrounding traffic.

Fun flourishes

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF's air conditioning vents feature rugged lines and a stylish cyber punk-inspired design, for a futuristic, fun and fast-paced feel.

The perfect blend of support and comfort

For a compact EV, there’s plenty of space, regardless of whether you’re sitting in the DOLPHIN SURF’s front sports seats or the spacious rear cabin. Enjoy the perfect combination of support and comfort with this electric city car. Seats are also available with electrical adjustment and heating.

Clever storage solutions

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF may be a compact EV but its clever packaging means it’s ready for everyday life.

It has a boot capacity of 308 litres, which can expand to 1,037 litres when the rear seats are folded down.

In fact, the DOLPHIN SURF has more than 20 clever storage areas, from a pair of cup-holders between the front seats to extra space beneath the boot floor.

Never run out

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF includes a wireless charging pad for your smartphone, meaning you’ll never run out of phone charge whilst on the go.

Easy-going free control

Key functions and controls are integrated into the centre console using tactile slider switch gear controls, making it simpler and safer for drivers to locate.
