Yeah, I'm sold on this one. My first ev and it really works for me in Brazil. It's solidly built, good enough range, very efficient drivetrain and well priced. Boot is small, but I'll just fold the rear seats, as I'm usually travelling on my own or with my wife. No small kids to haul around.

Thanks for the review Paul, as an owner of a Dolphin Premium it seemed a pretty accurate summary of the car. We bought ours as a city/suburban car, a role in which it excels. We can charge it mostly from excess solar, and that soft suspension tune works fine trundling around town. Honestly, I thought BYD were never gunna loan you one for a review for fear of how it would look when subjected to the 130km/h Sine wave test 😅 Clearly not a car intended for that kind of driving, but it would be great if BYD got some local suspension tuning to tighten up the body control. Had ours just under 12 months, no problems so far - certainly worth a look as a city-focused EV, especially if you can charge at home.

Changing the soft tyre walled tyres on the 2023 atto transformed its handling and performance. Byd now ship the atto with firmer and wider tyres. Wonder what effect changing tyres will have on the Dolphin? Looking ahead byd will have to lift it's game when Xpeng Mona 03 comes to Oz, 615 litre boot in hatchback firm, 625km range 11kwh per 100kms, state of the art ADAS for $A27k in China.

Very good review. I have a 10 year-old Nissan Note and am looking for a replacement. Out of all the cars that I investigated, the top spec BYD Dolphin seems to be the best one for me. However, I have heard that there will be a upgraded version coming out with a 15.6" screen and will wait for that one to arrive.

I think a key is always a good option. NFC doesn't work if your phone is flat/lost/stolen/broken. Basically makes the car an expensive phone accessory.
@CMurdoch-n3t
@CMurdoch-n3t Ай бұрын
NFC actually does work with a flat phone, it can use a function called 'Power Reserve' on iPhones that ensures NFC works for several hours after going flat. As for lost/stolen/broken, not only can that happen to other keys as well, the car also comes with NFC cards that can act as backup. Why have the phone when there are NFC cards? Because you're less likely to forget the phone, and more likely to have it out when unlocking.

My partner was keen on one of these, but we cross shopped the Ora and the MG4. Dolphin felt a bit cramped inside, MG interior felt the cheapest and had the worst rear vision (small cluttered window). Bought the ORA and she loves it, would’ve been nice to have the app like overseas markets as that’s really the only short coming.

It seems quite an inoffensive choice, quite quirky. Not a fan of the design (or of EV’s in general) but am an admirer of its more expensive stablemates. All in all, it definitely has a place in our markets. There are many who would prefer something else, but just as many who are looking for something like this that is affordable and capable. More choice, more competition- bring it on !

Finally we’re starting to see cheaper EV’s that most people can afford. All we need now are conventional door handles, conventional heater/volume controls, speedo’s behind the steering wheel (with head up display if possible) and a spare tyre. Dolphin interior style doesn’t suit nor the split A pillar but it seems the Chinese styling improvements are on the way. When they tick all the boxes I’ll buy one, charge it at home and use it for 90% of our trips which are around town within 150km radius of home.

"Everyone has a phone, NFC is the future" it just isn't though is it, can't wait to need to go to work and, "it's ok I'll just charge my phone in the car on the way there, oh wait I can't because the only way I can unlock my car is through my phone which is dead." Before anyone comes in and "oh well a key has a battery which can die too". There is a reason car keys come with a physical key with a key hole in the door for that scenario. I'm fine with the thought of unlocking you car with your phone for convenience, however I don't think it should be the only way.

How long does the battery last? Can you replace it? When thinking of an EV, I always think of my cellphone battery. When new it lasts long and after a year of use, you ony get 50% out of it. Im not sure if an EV is the way to go. They are just too expensive, and not that green unless if you charge it with solar energy.

It is ugly but get a single tone paint and the other rims and it suprisingly becomes just 'not good looking'.😂

How many fires involving the traction battery in BYD EVs supplied to export markets can you find. If there was something to worry about for people watching this video and thinking about this car, you should be able to find a few now. Come back with your findings.

Ugly interior like a 90s alien spaceship. flight of the navigator! The biggest issue for me is the UX/UI design including fonts and icons - they are so terribly designed. No good kerning on the text, or padding on the icons. All different sizes. Obviously designed by non English readers.

Yes, it is designed for Chinese buyers. But they improved it with OTA and is no so bad. The interior (in black) is better than the Atto 3. I tried the MG4, but I prefer the interior of the Dolphin.

I encourage everyone to look at cars that have both an ICE and a EV variant with the same trim. The price difference is typically $20k additional. Take the price of this car and subtract $20k and that is the quality in ICE terms of car you are getting.

@@henrylawson430 Is the petrol version less than $30k, because you need it to be for your statement to be valid, will it also include everything the EV version includes. Also you go ahead and buy the Cherry over the BYD, which has established a significant dealer network in Australia and won't be going bankrupt anytime soon.

@@GDM22 yes, I can see sub $30k brand new Chery Omoda 5 BX for less than $30k on car sales with much nicer interiors than an MG4, Atto3 or Dolphin. And I am sure you could negotiate that price down to $27k. And that will have a maximum range of 911km and have a full tank in 3 minutes.

FFS! Can someone at CarExpert please teach Paul the three fingers on the screen trick to change both the temperature and fan speed of the climate control. You do not have to go through all the menu's. I would have thought someone who is a professional car reviewer would know a little bit more about these things.

You sound so uneducated lol. BYD uses LFP batteries. LFP battery uses lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material, which inherently possesses a higher thermal stability compared to cobalt-based chemistries. This makes LFP batteries a preferred choice for applications that prioritize safety and longevity.
