The Dolphin is BYD's most affordable Australian model — a compact hatchback designed for city and suburban life. Its 44.9kWh Blade LFP battery and modest 340km WLTP range make it a commuter specialist rather than a road-trip machine. What it lacks in range it makes up in value: wireless Apple CarPlay, a heat pump, and BYD's solid 8-year battery warranty come standard.
Key differentiator
Australia's most affordable new EV with a solid feature list — wireless CarPlay and heat pump at a price point most EVs can't match.
Who is this for?
City drivers and first-time EV buyers who charge at home and need an affordable, low-maintenance daily commuter.
The Dynamic is the sole variant in Australia. With 60kW DC charging, a 10–80% charge takes around 35 minutes — manageable for weekly top-ups but slow by modern standards. Best suited to drivers whose daily commute is under 150km who charge at home most nights. Not ideal as a sole family car if you regularly do long drives.
