Say hello to the hatchback that completely redefines the compact car. Designed specifically for European drivers, the all-new BYD DOLPHIN G DM-i is a true game-changer: the only vehicle in its segment to feature cutting-edge plug-in Super Hybrid technology.
Enjoy the smooth, quiet, and instant acceleration of an electric vehicle (EV) for your daily commutes, backed by the ultimate flexibility of a petrol hybrid for longer journeys.
Zero emissions for the school run. Unlimited freedom for the weekend.
Performance & Range Highlights
Pure EV Commuting: Up to 65 miles of pure electric driving (WLTP) — more than enough to handle your daily urban trips without ever using a drop of petrol.
Massive Combined Range: Travel up to 646 miles on a full charge and a full tank of fuel.
Astonishing Efficiency: Weighted fuel consumption as low as 201.7 mpg, slashing your monthly running costs
Rapid Charging: Replenish the hybrid-optimized Blade Battery from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes using DC fast charging.
1. Advanced DM-i Technology: The Best of Both Worlds
The “i” in DM-i stands for Intelligence. BYD’s revolutionary Super Hybrid system automatically shifts between electric and hybrid power to prioritize maximum efficiency and low emissions.
The EV Experience: The vehicle defaults to electric driving as much as possible, giving you instant torque and a whisper-quiet cabin.
Zero Range Anxiety: When tackling long road trips across the UK, the ultra-efficient petrol engine seamlessly engages to charge the battery or assist with power.
Bespoke Blade Battery: Packed with BYD’s famous, cobalt-free Blade Battery technology, engineered to the highest industry safety standards.
2. Clever Design & Surprising Space
Don’t let the compact, agile exterior fool you. Embracing BYD’s signature Ocean Aesthetics design philosophy, the DOLPHIN G DM-i maximizes interior space so your family never feels cramped.
Bright & Airy Cabin: The sleek, panoramic glass roof floods the interior with natural light, making the cabin feel open and premium.
Class-Leading Practicality: Features a highly versatile 425-litre boot (complete with a hidden 45-litre underfloor compartment for cables or valuables) that expands to a massive 1,225 litres with the rear seats folded flat.
Smart Storage: Over 20 clever storage pockets and compartments are scattered throughout the interior to handle water bottles, tablets, and daily essentials.
3. High-Tech Connected Driving
The DOLPHIN G DM-i is packed with premium, intuitive technology designed to keep you connected and comfortable.
12.8-inch Rotating Touchscreen: Control your maps, music, and vehicle settings on BYD’s signature rotating infotainment hub, featuring seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
8-inch Head-Up Display (HUD): Projects your speed and vital navigation cues directly onto the windscreen so your eyes never leave the road.
NFC Keyless Entry: Lock and unlock your hatchback with a quick tap of your smartphone or key card.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L): Use your car as a mobile power bank to run laptops, camping gear, or cooler bags on outdoor family adventures.
4. Uncompromised Safety Built-In
The DOLPHIN G DM-i comes standard with an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) to provide total peace of mind on every UK motorway or narrow city street.
360° Panoramic Camera: Combined with high-definition ultrasonic sensors to make tight parking spots effortless.
Active Protection: Includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Assist, and Blind Spot Detection.
Cross-Traffic Alerts: Smart front and rear cross-traffic radar systems automatically warn you and apply brakes if a hidden hazard approaches while you’re pulling out.
