I live in Thailand and have this car since Nov. 2023. This car now costs 800.000 Baht here, that is 20.113 Euro. Including 8 years warranty, 2 years insurance, and 8 years yearly service all included. Please realise that the cheapest Tesla cost twice as much here.

[@janakaone]

550,000 thb now

[@johniooi3954]

Nice to see a short bonnet. No need for a EV to have a massive bonnet wasting space that can be used inside.

[@allusernamesistaken]

Well, you need some crumple zone in front of your knees.

[@lovezg4126]

im not poor but i would buy BYD just because i don't want to spend more money on some shit i don't use at all

[@CEUOTC]

Nice car, prefer the MG4 standard range, however, not a fan of the Dolphin front end (those light clusters!).

[@paulb1951]

Dolphin looks like something my mum would buy. Very dated design. Atto 3 is far more aesthetically appealing

[@Lightjoa]

My saturday morning is saved! Another video from Bjørn! Takker!

[@timogronroos4642]

LFP Blade is the key for this car

[@Luis-xr9ye]

Nice car but overpriced in EU

[@Lewis_Standing]

I sat in one the other day, really liked it. UK comfort spec was was comfortable and the pan roof was amazing.

[@Odinscrow1962]

I’m really enjoying your reviews and your style - You are killing it like a Ninja😂

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

Indeed very nice... i like the whole button situation... dolphin flipper for opening the door!? very nice! i dont like that the gear selector doesnt stick to the current gear i think it would be much better to have the visual confirmation

[@martink.9442]

In Germany this car is way to expensive. The trunk is a joke. To much money for less car.

[@wolliestra]

The space between door en front window. That triangle (id3 has the same) makes the car feel small when your in it.

The 2nd row has a lot of space but no aircon vents which is not so good for Thailand.

[@karlitono]

Bravo for front isofix!

[@torrhthc4103]

He say poor man china cars, think byd marked up their cars and sell at a premium compare to actual china prices.

[@CampGareth]

Coming from a 2013 Leaf Tekna I like this interior! Materials are the same in most places (hard plastic dash and vegan leather arm rests) but key upgrades like more space for rear passengers, the panoramic roof, better infotainment and equipment. I hear there's a 60W USB C port front and back good enough for a laptop? And you can play videos on the display from a microSD card or USB stick?

[@CampGareth]

@bjornnyland I put down the money for a Dolphin after seeing your reviews and going for a test drive. The Leaf was a £30k car when it launched and all that money went on the battery. Now batteries are cheap so you get a nice interior for £30k, it's amazing how far cheap EVs have come. Plus the longest journey I am likely to make takes 1 charge stop now, not 9!

[@Sunny-i8d6y]

I thought the ID3 was already an econobox considering the design, equipment, cloth seats and full plastic interior…

[@dainispozins4172]

Looks pretty good! At least not stuffed with badly overpriced "premium" junk that deteriorates almost as quickly as ordinary interiors! Looks good enough for daily commutes and weekend trips! As well, it won't break your bank account, which is a huge plus for this car...!

[@sargfowler9603]

Seems to have sacrificed boot space for more interior space

[@CampGareth]

Good in my opinion. I can fold the seats to gain boot space but I can't fold the boot to gain cabin space

[@kovaxzolika]

this is like the Skoda Rapid hatchback, huge legroom "tiny" boot.

[@Luis-xr9ye]

@Bjørnnyland, you have to talk about the weak regen braking

[@ChrisPavlides]

It's not weak, it's ok. This is not "one pedal drive though" but to be honest, its the best when this is your first EV. Although if you want more regen, press the brake pedal, thats it.

[@Luis-xr9ye]

@@ChrisPavlides yes it is. I agree it's okay for an EV newbie, but at least let the user choose what they prefer. Even at a high level, regeneration is almost imperceptible. This is particularly important as it is precisely one of the advantages of driving an EV, more convenient and comfortable for the user and most important with a direct impact on the vehicle's efficiency. It's a smaller car and with worse consumption than a 10 years Leaf. I did a test drive and for me it was a no go for this reason!

[@yaCiyaCi]

Is the memory seat adjustment linked to the user profile or feature on the main screen?

[@vhol93]

BYD, nice !

[@Mrdachs88]

Too expensive in Europe sadly

[@TheArminOF]

The could reduce the number of buttons in the interior and do a more minimalistic design. In return, they could use higher quality materials. It would be a real winner car then.

[@johniooi3954]

No. Buttons are good. Hate this trend for everything to be screen controlled.

[@chriss4949]

If you want an Id3 to this spec..price would be + 35%…..and you would get only half the warranty..and no V2L

[@Colt16v]

But ID.3 got better interior, superior driver assists, RWD with drumbrakes (less maintenance), possibility for matrix headlights etc. Also VW got local dealers so i don´t have to drive 60km or more.

[@johannschickermuller6107]

Invest the 35% savings in solar cells think is a better idea. You get something back and can buy next time an expensiver car, but still get electricity from your cells.

[@andrew7455]

BYD is better because of LFP battery.

[@Colt16v]

@@andrew7455 LFP isn´t necessarily better than NMC.

[@andrew7455]

@@Colt16v , LFP is way safer.

[@vernepavreal7296]

is it as big as the BYD Atto3? Thanks

[@paulb1951]

No way way smaller. Similar size to a Corolla

[@johniooi3954]

Atto 3 is much higher & physically bigger

[@vernepavreal7296]

@@johniooi3954 Thanks

[@WrathChild-NZ]

Wish the dolphin wasn't so overpriced in New Zealand.

[@marklola12]

It all sounds and looks too cheap inside the seat material looks horrid too. I would not mind but on lease here in the UK you can get better cars for same price. The tiny crappy speedo screen is shocking too. Outside the car looks pretty average at besthe seagul looks way better outside

[@amandagrant4331]

I like this car

[@Timico1000]

I´ve sat in a brand new Dolphin some days ago and it was by far the worst smelling car i´ve encountered.

[@wesleyvelroij4837]

It's an insult to BYD, to compare it with the bad designed ID3 😂

[@binflydushy]

You must be joking

This has to be one of the worst interiors made in the last 10 years.

[@MarkBraggs]

It sounds like it’s going to fall apart when he closes things like the trunk and glove box. Can’t imagine it’ll hold up well. Plus all the cheap thin plastics. Curious to see how it does in crash testing.

[@robertimrie3710]

Won't bother to ask you to Yum Cha. As for your mate, it's a 5 star ANCAP car and sells for about $20k less than a Cupra Born or 2/3 the price in Australia. Excellent car for the money, my neighbour loves hers.
