Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The BYD Dolphin is one of the cheapest electric vehicles in Australia.
The entry-level model costs just under $37,000. The model in the review, the top-spec Premium, is more expensive.
The Premium model is faster than the base model.
All colors are free except the top-spec Premium's two-tone option.
Electric vehicle grills now serve more for aesthetics.
The top model has LED headlights with an LED bar on the bottom.
A camera is nestled below the license plate for the 360 camera system.
It has a set of 17-inch alloy wheels. The entry-level model gets slightly smaller alloy wheels.
The aero covers on the wheels improve efficiency.
There is an NFC reader atop the mirror for keyless entry.
The sign writing is not present on the car when purchased.
It comes with a full glass roof.
The review notes the "Build Your Dreams" on the back seems like a bit much. Other BYD models have had it removed.
The front seats are manually adjustable, and there is some soft-touch material.
The reviewer notes the Chinese vehicles feel more premium.
There is a large central screen that rotates.
For practicality, it has a wireless phone charger as well as USB A and C ports, plus a 12-volt outlet.
It’s got two drive modes standard and dynamic. It provides a WLTP range of 427 km.
There is autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, a semi-autonomous steering function, and a 360 camera.
With the large battery, this EV has great range.
At 130 kph, the ride feels floaty, and a local riding and handling tune could improve it.
The tires make a fair bit of cabin noise. They measure as high as 72.2db on a coarse road surface.
The 0-100 kph time is 7.61s, and the 80-120 kph is 4.68s.
The braking distance has room for improvement at 42.21 m.
The torque steer is right at the limit for the front axle, producing 150kw of power.
Overall, it's a fun car to drive with a hot-hatch feel.
