BYD Dolphin G: UK Pricing, Specifications and Everything You Need to Know

BYD continues to expand its impressive vehicle line-up with the arrival of the new BYD Dolphin G, a plug-in hybrid supermini designed specifically for European drivers. Offering exceptional efficiency, generous technology and a highly competitive starting price, the Dolphin G looks set to become one of the UK's most exciting new hatchbacks.

At Sandicliffe, we're excited to see another innovative model join the growing BYD family, giving drivers even more choice when looking for an economical, practical and feature-packed vehicle.

BYD Dolphin G UK Price

The new BYD Dolphin G will be available in the UK with prices starting from approximately £23,000, positioning it among the most affordable plug-in hybrid hatchbacks on sale. Depending on trim level, pricing is expected to rise to around £25,000 for higher-specification models.

This competitive pricing places the Dolphin G against popular models including the Renault Clio E-Tech, Toyota Yaris Hybrid and MG3 Hybrid+, while offering significantly more electric-only driving capability than many rivals.

Efficient Plug-in Hybrid Performance

The Dolphin G uses BYD's latest Super DM-i plug-in hybrid technology, combining a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver impressive efficiency without compromising everyday usability.

Key highlights include:

• Up to 65 miles (105 km) of electric-only driving (WLTP)

• Combined driving range of over 620 miles (1,000 km)

• Smooth automatic transmission

• Low fuel consumption

• Reduced emissions for everyday driving

For many UK motorists, this means daily commuting can often be completed using electric power alone, while the petrol engine provides complete confidence on longer journeys.

Modern Design Inside and Out

The Dolphin G brings a fresh and contemporary look to the supermini segment.

Exterior highlights include:

• Aerodynamic styling

• Distinctive LED lighting

• Compact dimensions ideal for urban driving

• Stylish alloy wheels depending on specification

Technology is expected to include:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility

• Digital driver's display

• Voice control

• Connected navigation

• Wireless smartphone charging on selected models

Practical for Everyday Life

While compact on the outside, the Dolphin G has been designed to maximise interior space.

Its practical layout makes it ideal for:

• City driving

• First-time buyers

• Families needing a second car

• Company car users

• Drivers looking to reduce fuel costs without moving to a fully electric vehicle

The combination of electric efficiency and petrol flexibility removes the need to worry about charging infrastructure on longer journeys.

Advanced Safety Technology

BYD continues its commitment to safety with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems.

Expected features include:

• Adaptive Cruise Control

• Automatic Emergency Braking

• Lane Keeping Assist

• Traffic Sign Recognition

• Blind Spot Monitoring

These technologies help make everyday driving safer, easier and more relaxing.
