Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video:This is a review of the BYD Dolphin Surf, an all-electric city hatchback. UK pricing starts at £18,650, with three trim levels: Active, Boost, and Comfort.
The Active trim has a 30 kWh battery and offers 137 miles of combined range. The 0-62 mph time is 11.1 seconds. It can DC charge at 65 kW and AC charge at 11 kW.
The Boost trim costs £21,950 and offers 200 miles of range from a 43 kWh battery. The 0-62 mph time is 12.1 seconds.
The Comfort is priced at £23,950 with 193 miles of range and a 115 kW motor, achieving 0-60 mph in 9.1 seconds.
Boost and Comfort trims can DC charge at 85 kW.
A 10-inch touchscreen is standard, with landscape/portrait rotation capabilities.
The car features physical buttons alongside touchscreen controls.
Rear legroom is decent, and the boot space is 308 liters.
Initial impressions of the interior are good, with physical buttons for essential functions and a colorful driver information display.
The car has some less luxurious plastics. The reviewed model may be a Boost version because it lacks a wireless charging pad only found in Comfort models.
Initial impressions are very good.
There are three people in the car, 2 of whom are not slim, but the car is coping with it well.
The car still has a little turn of pace, though it is difficult to determine the specific trim.
The suspension copes well with road imperfections.
The car is comfortable without being "boaty."
The reviewer prefers this car to the Dacia Spring.
The car offers good visibility. The little rattle from the roof lining on cars with 300 miles might indicate quality issues, but overall, it is well-equipped.
The Dolphin Surf may be one to watch.
