Your perfect city car is here. At a glance, this model from BYD is well-built and well-equipped, and with it being the manufacturer’s smallest car for sale in Europe, the Dolphin Surf is rising out of the water and onto the market at an extreme rate.

Not a special edition of its namesake ‘BYD Dolphin,’ the Surf is a smaller and much cheaper version and today sits in its market as one of the better electric cars you can buy.

The Dolphin Surf has a few competitors, most of which it undercuts in price, like the Hyundai Inster and Renault 5, with the Dacia Spring and Leapmotor T03 being the only two it does not - however with the Surf not being out of its depth on A-roads and motorways, this is a brilliant choice if you’re looking for an electric car!

From £18,650 based on new pricing, possibly one of the more eye-catching features is its 360 view camera, just one of the many safety features this model from the Chinese firm possesses over that of it’s rivals.
