The BYD Dolphin has been on Spanish roads for over a year, almost without anyone noticing. A compact electric car starting at €22,990 with 427 km of certified range. This is the honest review.
Price and Versions in Spain
BYD sells the Dolphin in Spain in two versions: the Comfort (44.9 kWh, 340 km WLTP) at €22,990 and the Design (60.4 kWh, 427 km WLTP) at €26,990. With Spain's maximum Plan MOVES III incentive, the Comfort goes down to approximately €15,990.
Real-World Range
The Design version's 427 km WLTP translates to approximately 300-340 km on the motorway at 120 km/h and 340-380 km in city driving. For an urban commuter, that means going several days without charging.
Charging
Maximum DC charge rate is 88 kW. From 10% to 80% takes approximately 29 minutes. Sufficient for an urban-focused car.
vs. European Compact EVs
The Dolphin Design offers comparable autonomy and charging to the Peugeot e-208 and Volkswagen ID.3 with €6,000-10,000 less in price. Interior finish quality is lower than the ID.3, but the price gap compensates for most buyers.
