The New BYD DOLPHIN Model

The New BYD DOLPHIN | What’s Changed for 2025?

The BYD DOLPHIN has quickly become one of the most popular compact EVs on the market, thanks to its clever design, everyday practicality and great value. Now, BYD have announced some exciting updates for the new model year, making the DOLPHIN an even stronger choice for drivers looking to make the switch to electric.

Here’s a look at what’s new.

Streamlined Model Line up

The Active and Boost versions of the DOLPHIN are no longer available, as BYD focuses on the most popular trim levels: Comfort and Design. These now come with more standard equipment, so whichever you go for, you’re getting great value.

Fresh Colours and Finishes

The new DOLPHIN offers a refreshed exterior colour palette.

• New shades: Time Grey replaces Urban Grey, and Obsidian Black takes the place of Jet Black.
• Simplified choice: Design versions no longer come in two tone finishes, giving the range a sleeker, more refined look.
• Four exterior colours available: Cream White (standard), plus Obsidian Black, Skiing White and Time Grey as optional extras.
  

Inside, you can now choose between Black & Grey or Black & Brown interiors, both included in the price.

Why This Matters

These updates make the BYD DOLPHIN more refined, more practical and better equipped, without losing its affordability and fun to drive character.

Whether you’re after a city friendly runaround or a practical family EV, the DOLPHIN continues to impress.
