The compact electric car that’s built for the big city

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF is the cool, fun-loving model from the world’s largest new-energy vehicle brand. It mixes sharp design, a spacious interior, punchy performance and BYD’s trademark in-car technologies – making it the perfect choice for people who don’t want to compromise on features.

Exterior

A design where function meets fun

BYD DOLPHIN SURF has a distinctive stance, with a single-arch profile that creates exceptional cabin space. A wide contour rises along the side of the car for an enhanced sporty look.

A ‘floating roof’ and full-width LED tail-lights

The C-pillar of the BYD DOLPHIN SURF boasts a dot-matrix design inspired by ice crystals. It helps to visually separate the roof, creating a ‘floating’ effect. Meanwhile, the rear features full-width LED tail-lights, another fun feature of this compact electric car.

Stunning daytime-running lights

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF's headlights feature clean, crisp lines, consisting of six angled light strips. The compact EV also has daytime-running lights to create an overall sharp and sophisticated look.

Sporty rear spoiler

The DOLPHIN SURF’s integrated roof spoiler enhances its sporty look – adding to its aerodynamic profile, helping to improve efficiency, and contributing to excellent range.

Charging

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF has a maximum DC charging rate of 85kW – which means it can get from 10% to 80% of battery capacity in just 30 minutes. This recharge rate easily supports daily urban commutes, but also means the DOLPHIN SURF can take on longer journeys when needed.

Interior

All the tech you’d expect from a BYD

The DOLPHIN SURF has a smart cabin that’s packed with useful technology. The dashboard features BYD’s signature 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen, equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The DOLPHIN SURF also features voice control via a ‘Hi BYD’ command allowing you to access many key functions without taking your hands off the wheel.

Safe and easy to use

The key feature of the entire instrument panel, the 10.1-inch display is just the right height, allowing the driver to drive safely without becoming too distracted from the road ahead or surrounding traffic.

Fun flourishes

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF's air conditioning vents feature rugged lines and a stylish cyber punk-inspired design, for a futuristic, fun and fast-paced feel.

The perfect blend of support and comfort

For a compact EV, there’s plenty of space, regardless of whether you’re sitting in the DOLPHIN SURF’s front sports seats or the spacious rear cabin. Enjoy the perfect combination of support and comfort with this electric city car. Seats are also available with electrical adjustment and heating.

Safety

Driving Assistant

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF features an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) as standard, including intelligent cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure assist and intelligent high-beam control.

Comprehensive safety protection

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF is equipped with a full suite of safety equipment. It comes as standard with a total of six airbags - driver and front passenger, as well as side curtain airbags and side airbags in the front seats.

e-Platform 3.0

The DOLPHIN SURF features BYD’s super-safe Blade Battery and inherits the safety attributes of the revolutionary e-Platform 3.0, which provides a safe body structure that’s unique to electric cars.

Clever storage solutions

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF may be a compact EV but its clever packaging means it’s ready for everyday life. It has a boot capacity of 316 litres, which can expand to 1,037 litres when the rear seats are folded down. In fact, the DOLPHIN SURF has more than 20 clever storage areas, from a pair of cup-holders between the front seats to extra space beneath the boot floor.

Innovation

BYD has been a pioneering name in the battery industry for more than 30 years. Our game-changing Blade Battery is featured in the BYD DOLPHIN SURF, bringing benefits in packaging and durability. It has passed a series of extreme tests in rigorous conditions, to make it one of the world’s safest batteries.

The World’s First Mass-Produced 8-in-1 Electric Powertrain

At the heart of the vehicle is the world’s first mass-produced 8-in-1 electric powertrain system, which combines all essential elements into a single module, maximising space utilisation and improving efficiency – which is crucial in compact electric cars like the DOLPHIN SURF.

Connectivity

BYD Intelligent Cockpit

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF’s 4G connectivity delivers an ultra-smart driving experience, with navigation included as standard. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as intelligent voice control help to make time behind the wheel feel seamless and stress-free. The DOLPHIN SURF has Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, so you can always enjoy the latest advances in technology.

Control at Your Fingertips

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF is always ready to get moving – and the convenience of NFC keyless entry via a smartphone means that it’s always easy for you to climb aboard, even with your hands full. Use your phone to cool or warm the DOLPHIN SURF’s cabin before your journey, by remotely controlling the air conditioning.

V2L

Charge your life

Transform the BYD ATTO 2 into a mobile power bank with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, enriching your outdoor activities by allowing you to easily plug in a variety of equipment. Power devices like video game consoles, run appliances to enjoy a cup of coffee, or charge gadgets during outdoor escapades—perfect for picnics, camping trips and more. The only limit is your own imagination.
