BYD Dolphin Surf Interior

Soft vegan leather upholstery and supportive front seats create a welcoming atmosphere, while clever packaging ensures generous head and legroom for both driver and passengers.

The boot offers 308 litres of cargo space, expanding to 1,037 litres with the rear seats folded, giving you flexibility for shopping, luggage, or weekend gear.

BYD Dolphin Surf Connectivity
At the heart of the Dolphin Surf’s tech suite is a 10.1-inch rotatable infotainment screen, bringing intuitive control of media, navigation, and vehicle settings to your fingertips. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration ensure seamless smartphone connectivity, while BYD’s intelligent voice control system (“Hi BYD”) lets you operate key functions hands-free for safer driving.
Onboard 4G connectivity supports live updates and cloud services, and the car also includes NFC keyless entry and wireless phone charging on higher trims. A digital driver display keeps essential information clear and in your line of sight, and adaptive cruise control and navigation systems help make long journeys smoother.

BYD Dolphin Surf Exterior and Design
The exterior of the Dolphin Surf blends playful character with purposeful aerodynamics. Its compact silhouette is defined by crisp LED daytime-running lights, a sleek floating roof effect, and a sporty integrated rear spoiler that not only adds visual flair but enhances aerodynamic efficiency.
Bold contour lines and a distinctive full-width rear light bar give the Surf a modern presence on the road, while crisp bodywork detailing ensures it looks confident from every angle. Its compact dimensions make it especially agile in urban environments, yet the design never feels small or compromised.

BYD Dolphin Surf Performance and Battery Range
Underneath its stylish exterior, the Dolphin Surf is powered by BYD’s Blade Battery technology built on the e-Platform 3.0, offering a blend of safety, efficiency, and reliable range. UK buyers can choose between two battery options: a 30 kWh pack offering up to 137 miles WLTP range, and a larger 43.2 kWh battery delivering up to 200 miles WLTP on standard trims, or approximately 193 miles on the performance-focused Comfort model.
All versions provide smooth, responsive electric performance with a top speed of around 93 mph and brisk acceleration—particularly in the Comfort trim with its more powerful motor. Rapid DC charging up to 85 kW means you can typically recharge from 10–80% in around 30 minutes, while a standard 11 kW AC onboard charger supports convenient overnight home charging. With zero tailpipe emissions and impressively low running costs, the Dolphin Surf is compelling for both city commutes and longer excursions.
