BYD Dolphin Overview
The BYD Dolphin is a small electric hatchback designed to make EV ownership more affordable in Australia. The range comprises an Essential grade (44.9kWh Blade battery, 70kW, 340km WLTP) and a longer-range, more powerful Premium (60.48kWh, 150kW, 427km WLTP), both front-wheel drive. It targets urban efficiency and low running costs with a cabin that feels more modern than many budget-focused small cars.
