About the BYD Dolphin Surf 43.2 kWh Comfort

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Comfort is a compact all-electric hatchback designed to deliver affordable zero-emission motoring without compromising on technology, comfort, or everyday practicality. Blending efficient electric performance with a user-friendly driving experience, it offers an attractive solution for drivers seeking a modern EV that is equally at home in the city and on longer journeys.

Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 115 kW, delivering smooth and responsive performance through a front-wheel-drive layout. Instant electric torque provides effortless acceleration in urban environments, while the refined powertrain ensures comfortable and efficient cruising on faster roads. The result is a hatchback that feels agile, easy to drive, and well suited to everyday use.

At the heart of the DOLPHIN SURF Comfort is a 43.2 kWh usable battery pack, providing an excellent balance between efficiency, affordability, and practicality. With an official WLTP driving range of up to 200 miles, it offers sufficient flexibility for daily commuting, shopping trips, and weekend travel while keeping charging stops to a minimum. Actual driving range will vary depending on factors such as driving style, weather conditions, route profile, and vehicle specification.

Charging capability is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern EV ownership. The vehicle supports CCS DC rapid charging at up to 85 kW, allowing drivers to quickly replenish the battery when using compatible public charging infrastructure. Combined with convenient AC charging options at home and work, the DOLPHIN SURF is designed to fit smoothly into everyday routines.

Inside, the cabin features a modern and connected environment with advanced infotainment technology, digital displays, and a comprehensive range of driver-assistance features. Flexible passenger accommodation and thoughtful interior packaging help maximise usable space, while approximately 308 litres of luggage capacity provides enough room for shopping, luggage, and daily essentials.

The compact dimensions of the DOLPHIN SURF make it particularly well suited to urban driving and easy parking, while its practical hatchback design ensures it remains versatile enough for a wide variety of uses. By combining efficiency, technology, and value, it positions itself as an appealing choice for drivers looking to make the switch to electric motoring.
