The 2025 BYD Dolphin is a battery-electric hatchback with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The 60.4 kWh Comfort is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 60.4 kWh Comfort version develops 204 hp and 310 Nm (229 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.0 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph). Its power output is about 7% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 14% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 60.4 kWh. The recorded electric range is 427 km (265 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.2 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 88 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,290 mm (168.9 in) in length, 1,770 mm (69.7 in) in width, and 1,570 mm (61.8 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,700 mm (106.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 345 litres (12.2 cu ft), expanding to 1,310 litres (46.3 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,520 kg (3,351 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Comfort and 60.4 kWh Comfort. Across the range, the specifications span 95 hp to 204 hp, 7.0 s to 11.8 s, and 340 km to 427 km, while listed starting prices run from $28,990-$32,800. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric hatchback models from the same period, the 2025 BYD Dolphin is strongest on acceleration and price. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
