BYD Dolphin review: www.electrifyi...
ORA 03 review: www.electrifyi...
Unless you’re really up to speed in the world of cars, the names BYD and Ora may be new to you. The electric revolution has attracted a number of new brands to set up shop in Europe with Chinese manufacturers leading the charge. Whether you think that’s a good or not (there are arguments on both sides), the fact is that buyers have more models to choose from - especially at the more affordable end of the market.
Take our test duo - the BYD Dolphin and the Ora 03 (which used to be called the Funky Cat before someone saw sense). Both hail from China and both have been designed to offer better value for money than their European and Japanese rivals.
BYD Dolphin
The Dolphin is just over 4.2 metres long (4,290mm) and around 200mm longer than a Vauxhall Corsa Electric and a Peugeot e208. However, unlike the Corsa, Peugeot and MINI it’s built on an all-electric platform designed from the outset to be a purely electric set of underpinnings. As result, the BYD designers and engineers have been free to place the battery pack and motor where they want, without having to take into consideration mounting points and space for a petrol engine. The stand-out measurement in the specification is the wheelbase, which at 2,700mm is longer than a Vauxhall Astra.
Although BYD offers the Dolphin in its home market with two small battery options (30.7kWh and 44.9kWh) the brand has reworked the car for Europe and is offering a bigger 60kWh pack and faster charging capability, along with the 44.9kWh unit.
The entry-level Active model has the 44.9kWh battery and 93bhp motor giving around 211 miles of range. The Boost has a more powerful 178bhp motor and 17-inch wheels which hit efficiency, so the range drops to 188 miles. The Comfort and Design use the bigger 60.4kWh battery and 201bhp motor, giving a range of 265 miles.
Ora 03
Confusingly, 03 car was originally launched in the UK in early 2023 with Ora as the brand name (albeit as part of the GWM parent company) and Funky Cat as the model name. Maybe it was decided that Ora Funky Cat was just a bit too funky for UK tastes, as the company switched its strategy from early 2024 and now sells this jazzy-looking electric hatchback under the GWM brand, with the model name Ora 03 instead. Phew…
Back when the GWM Ora 03 was the Ora Funky Cat, it only came with the 48kWh battery and a possible 193 miles of range on the WLTP cycle. That is usefully more than a MINI Electric, but down on something like a Corsa Electric or the similar-sized Citroen e-C4, which both manage more than 200 miles.
The Ora's 193 mile official figure will translate to a real-world range of around 150 miles, which is still plenty for most people, especially those who are based in urban areas. For those who need a longer range, a bigger 63kWh battery (tested here) has now joined the range, so you can now choose between the 48kWh GWM Ora 03 Pure+ or 63kWh GWM Ora Pro+.
Join Nicola and Nicki as they pitch the Dolphin and the 03 together. Which would you choose, or would you opt for something completely different. Let us know in the comments below.

It is astonishing how much more expensive Chinese EVs are in Britain than Australia. The lower-spec versions of these cars both come in at well under £20,000 in Australia, and even the high-spec ones are below £25,000. Great review, btw. I think Electrifying might be the best EV channel now.

@@tomooo2637 Yes, that explains around half the price difference. The things you outline account for the whole of the price difference between MG4s in the UK and Australia, but they're not enough to cover the differentials for BYDs (the Atto 3 and Seal even more than the Dolphin) or for Oras.

I think this is the first British review I've seen that acknowledges how good BYD's voice recognition is. It's the best I've ever used. Normally the last of buttons and knobs would put me off a car - i don't like having to go through screen menus when I'm driving. But the BYD voice recognition is so good that you don't really need the buttons.

When our model 3lr lease finished we got a Ora for our second car (mainly because it was 190month/no deposit) and ive been quite pleasantly surprised (as i thought it eould be terrible) it rides well drives fast enough and actually has more rear legroom than the model 3. Biggest gripe with it would be lack of bass in the sound system and slightly small icons on the infotainment screen

[@peterarmstrong3853]

I have a dolphin in urban grey. Covered 12.5k since nov and absolutely love it. Previously had a cupra born, mg4 and niro ev. I would chose the dolphin over them all. Mg customer service....

So, all of us who were putting off switching to EVs until the Chinese EVs arrived and brought the prices of all brands down, are now learning that was never going to happen in the UK. £34,000 + for small Chinese EVs is a shocker. I'll stick to my Hybrid.

Another great review, although I do think that the BYD has looks and specs similar too the Chevy Bolt, but from the two it is the BYD I would choose, also because that I read, Great Wall Motors (GMW) recently announced that they are pulling out of the European market, so I'm not sure how anyone could rely on continued Software or replacement parts support in the coming years, Aka doing a Fisker.

[@jamesmiller113]

Get an insurance quote before even considering these two - Chinese manufacturers are establishing a terrible relationship for after-sales support, so making settling insurance claims hugely expensive

[@narvuntien]

I tried these two but ultimately went with the MG4. The Ora had a lag when I hit the accelerator that bugged me, its an EV! plus its very small boot with a high lip was impractical. The Dolphin is really comfortable front and back but... no regen breaking. There is a lot more hwy driving in Australia so the inefficiency of both of them at high speed is a big downside.

[@ianrob4760]

the one missing here - Mg4, top spec Trophy ER is what I have and better than either in all ways, Battery, charging and looks

[@mesp673]

Such a lame comparison…no mention of warranty, servicing cost, or additional features. Doesn’t the Ora have panoramic roof and massage seats?

[@Koulis_]

It's just a shame the real world range isn't really that great compared to some (eg. Kia Niro EV). I'm sure updates will improve this but I think 300 miles should be a minimum nowadays for a car with this size of battery. Chinese brands in the UK need to improve their efficiency too as they seem to lag behind Tesla and the South Koreans.

[@johnknight9150]

Yes I would like something from a well known manufacturer, o why like that awesome Prius Prime at minute 9:18. Pick Prius imho as the new one smaller and way more expensive, in Tesla 3 teritory. Now coming back to the cars on review, I would take the Dolphin if I was forced out of my Prime as it has the lfp. Ugly headlights though and cheap cheap plastic in the middle of the steering wheel. Pa Pa

[@brandonlbardsley]

Hey guys, I've noticed on a few of your recent videos you always reference the WLTP range as being more likely achievable in city driving conditions. It would be interesting to see if this is actually the case, as it's not for me? Now this may be specific to my car alone, but the city range on my car is far worse, I average 3.2-3.5mpkwh, than it gets on a long motorway cruise/country A/B roads at ~63mph (limiter set). On a long drive I'll average between 4.0-4.3mpkwh. I recently did a round trip of 180 miles and used ~42kWh which equates to ~4.2mpkwh. BMW iX3 M Sport Pro with 20" alloys for context.

[@michaeledwards8079]

of the 2 the BYD is better, bigger boot and a REAR wiper, missing on so many EV's , but there is so much stiff competition from MG and other manufacturers, plus solid state batteries coming soon, I lease a ORA funky cat and its OK to a point, love the colour, red and the interior, but the MG 4 is superior

Ora missed the boat, priced it's self out when it was the funny cat. Re-name and now catch up with a spec that is getting left behind Dolphin is better and blends in 😁

[@ryanhenry1288]

It is somewhat hard to get excited about either of these cars when there is an MG4 shaped elephant in the room. In Australia at least, MG4 is out selling the other two around 2 to 1. I think more than anything, the MG4 is more popular as the design choices are less divisive. No flipper door handles, no funny coloured interiors or weird stitching in the seats and door panels, no Kermit the frog headlights, no weird wheels, better specs and a line up with many more options. If I had to choose one over the other of these two, it would be a real struggle even though I don't dislike either. I suppose the issue is that neither car is particularly inspiring and when you throw in the MG4, it's game over.

[@zzz-pe3mp]

depends what you are looking for - I ended up with base dolphin over the mg4. was 2k cheaper, free wall charger, heat pump, blade battery and the interior is about 50 times nicer to be in. The mg4 was way quicker though (and rwd) if you want to pretend its anything other than an economy car

I would ask that when you do reviews such as this "comparison" like the others, that you touch on the Charging Interface, whether there is any V2* Capabilities and a peculiar one, wheel/tire size. As for Horsepower and 0-60 times. All of these models have generally more HP & Far more torque than a Comparable ICE Vehicle, additionally the ICE's also don't come close in 0-60 times. (Excluding specialty models and such, just the regular average & normal "family models") Example: Ford Focus 2022 (EU edition) Ecoboost with 125HP 0-60 in 9.6 Seconds !!! Bigger motor options meant faster of course.

[@DC.409]

Arguably BYD will ultimately replace Tesla in the U.K., seeing quite a few around the North West North Wales and West Midlands, only seen 6 Tesla’s with a 24 plate. However, given the carry on with Stellantis, BYD could ultimately replace Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen, and Fiat once the two factories come on line. Ora I am not so sure, they are building the electric minis for BMW, which frankly are outstanding, though Oxford should come online in 2 years time. The size of the vehicle market is finite, given the rise of BYD, Geely and MG, and their electric technology advantage, inevitably there will be casualties with the legacy manufacturers. This is a repeat of the British Car manufacturers, downfall but on a global scale.

@@rjc0234 Well, Vegan letter, a.k.a. pleather, or PU-leather, is more standard than fabric these days. It's just a polyurethane layer on a fabric backing, so not an expensive product. And when you sell a product in the budget section of the market, you take into account the buyer. Those are not the ones that upgrade often, so they are more likely on USB A still. I'll get that installing USB-C would not have been expensive and it would have been future proofing the owner experience.

[@mtb0x]

But you’d buy an MG4 over both of these right?

[@robertmuster1350]

The Dolphin does have heaps of regenerative braking. The driver accesses it using the brake pedal. There are other vehicles manufacturers who have used this type of regenerative braking rather than one pedal driving. It’s seamless regenerative braking and is very safe as the driver has the foot on the brake pedal, in the correct place to use mechanical braking in an emergency. In most instances when coming to a stop in traffic, the mechanical braking is nil or minimal and perfectly safe. The driver is not left wondering whether one pedal braking is going to stop in time. For drivers coming from ICE vehicles or going between ICE and EV, it’s perfectly predictable and uses already established muscle memory and quick response in an emergency.

[@quarantinefox]

The adaptive cruise control uses it too.

[@Ranohtag]

I'll be getting an MG4 as it's less funcky

[@oliver90owner]

I wouldn’t choose either (I have an I-5). I tried a Kona and thought that 200HP through the front wheels was a bit too much. Regen braking choices is important, although likely not changed very often. Practicality, over ‘funkyness’ is more important IMO.

So Nikki likes a 1950's Eastern Bloc colour scheme in her interiors, boring, unlike others who like a more interesting interior. The screen some people do like the screen in portrait vs landscape remember the Model S has a huge portrait screen as well. The replacement for the Dolphin think it's called the Seal X is coming. The Ora a teenager cannot afford either. Either car is fine for a city car and some people will drive it further(long distance).

Crappy infortainment with no phone mirroring, not quick enough, poor range, dreadful interior, awful seats and the most annoying ADAS system I've EVER experienced.
