Used BYD Dolphin for sale

All BYD Dolphin models come equipped with seven airbags, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive cruise control. In 2023, the Dolphin gained a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, reflecting high standards for occupant protection and crash avoidance technologies.

Early Dolphins offered a choice between 44.9kWh or 60.4kWh batteries and several power outputs (94hp, 174hp or 201hp). Since 2025, all new Dolphins feature a single 201hp electric motor with a 60.4kWh battery. You should be able to get about 265 miles of range out of that on a charge (WLTP cycle), though this can dip slightly lower, especially in winter.

Dolphins usually feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 360-degree camera and voice control. The Comfort trim offers heated seats, while the Design trim offers a panoramic roof and a wireless charging pad. All models feature digital instrumentation on the dashboard and plenty of connectivity.

Expect around 3.9 to 4.1 miles per kWh for the larger battery model. In real-world terms, this means a usable range of 200–240 miles on a full charge for most drivers, depending on season and conditions.

Check the battery and drive system servicing, and inspect the charging port. Confirm trim and battery size, as these affect range and features. For peace of mind, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection to check the condition of all major electric components and systems.

BYD is a newer name in the UK, but it has a strong global reputation for electric vehicles. The Dolphin comes with a six-year/93,750-mile warranty (and eight years/125,000 miles on the battery), which shows confidence in its durability. There are currently no widespread reliability issues reported, and as an electric car, it generally has fewer moving parts to go wrong.
