BYD Dolphin G Interior

Step inside the BYD Dolphin G UK and you are greeted by a cabin designed to accommodate five adults in genuine comfort. The spacious interior features more than 20 clever storage areas throughout, including cup-holders between the front seats and additional space beneath the boot floor, ensuring everyday practicality is never compromised.

Front seats benefit from multi-level adjustable heating and the driver's seat offers adjustable lumbar support, while Comfort trim adds an electrically adjustable driver's seat for effortless positioning. Sport trim elevates the ambience further with distinctive artificial suede seats finished in black with a choice of orange or blue accents. From Boost trim upwards, 31-colour ambient lighting — which can sync with your music — transforms the cabin atmosphere at the touch of a button.

BYD Dolphin G Connectivity and Infotainment

Every BYD Dolphin G comes equipped with an 8.8-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Active trim features a 10.1-inch touchscreen, whilst Boost trim and above upgrades to a larger 12.8-inch touchscreen paired with an eight-speaker audio system, 15W wireless and cooled smartphone charging, and two 18W USB-C ports for rear-seat passengers.

Comfort and Sport trims add Google built-in, bringing Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google Play Store directly into the car. The intuitive "Hi, BYD" voice control system is available across the range, and the 8.8-inch Head-Up Display on Comfort and Sport trims projects speed, navigation and key data directly onto the windscreen, keeping your eyes firmly on the road.

BYD Dolphin G Exterior and Design

The BYD Dolphin G UK is the first BYD vehicle developed specifically for European markets rather than adapted from a Chinese model, and its design reflects that ambition. Guided by BYD's Ocean Aesthetics philosophy, the Dolphin G presents a clean, confident front end centred on the iconic BYD emblem, with LED headlights and rain-sensing wipers fitted as standard across all trims.

Measuring 4,160 mm long, 1,825 mm wide and 1,575 mm tall on a 2,610 mm wheelbase, the Dolphin G sits squarely in the B-segment supermini class yet feels notably spacious. Wheel sizes range from 16-inch alloys on Active trim through to black 18-inch alloys on Sport, and the available panoramic glass roof — with its dome structure for enhanced headroom — is offered on Comfort and Sport trims. A choice of five exterior colours, including the eye-catching Sunset Orange pearlescent, allows buyers to personalise their Dolphin G to suit their style.

BYD Dolphin G Performance and Battery Range

The BYD Dolphin G DM-i is the only plug-in hybrid hatchback in the B-segment in the UK, combining a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor and E-CVT transmission. Active trim produces 176 PS with a 7.4 kWh Blade Battery delivering up to 24.8 miles of WLTP pure-electric range and a combined range of 633 miles. Boost, Comfort and Sport trims step up to 212 PS, a larger 18.3 kWh Blade Battery, 65 miles of WLTP pure-electric range and an impressive 646 miles combined range.

All variants sprint from 0–62 mph in 8.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 112 mph. Boost, Comfort and Sport trims support 6.6 kW AC and 39 kW DC rapid charging, enabling a 10–80% charge in just 26 minutes. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology is available from Boost trim, allowing the Dolphin G to power external devices. The verified lifecycle carbon footprint can be as low as 9 g/km CO₂, underscoring the Dolphin G's genuine environmental credentials.

BYD Dolphin G Safety

Safety is built into every BYD Dolphin G from the ground up. Standard across all trims are Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot detection, Lane Departure Assist, Emergency Lane Keeping Assist, Front and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with automatic braking, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera. Child Presence Detection adds a further layer of reassurance for families.

Comfort and Sport trims add a 360°-view camera with ultrasonic sensors and an 8.8-inch Head-Up Display, projecting speed, navigation and key safety data onto the windscreen. Every Dolphin G is backed by BYD's comprehensive 6-year / 93,750-mile warranty, providing long-term peace of mind for UK buyers.

BYD Dolphin G Practicality

The BYD Dolphin G UK sets a class-leading standard for practicality in the B-segment. The boot offers 425 litres of load space — the largest in its class — comprising 380 litres of main boot space plus a 45-litre lower storage compartment beneath the boot floor. Fold the 40:60-split rear bench and that figure expands to an impressive 1,225 litres, making the Dolphin G as capable on a weekend away as it is on the daily commute.

ISOFIX mounting points are provided at the front passenger seat and both outer rear seats, making the Dolphin G a practical choice for growing families. With seating for five adults, more than 20 storage areas throughout the cabin, and rear USB-C charging ports on Boost trim and above, the Dolphin G ensures every journey is as comfortable and convenient as possible.
