About the BYD Dolphin Surf
The BYD Dolphin Surf arrived on the leasing market in 2025 as one of the UK’s most affordable new electric vehicles.
It’s a stablemate of the slightly larger BYD Dolphin but also features more exuberant, youthful and sporty styling, complete with a large rear spoiler.
BYD says the Dolphin Surf is a small car that goes big on tech, with a 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen being one of its party pieces.
There are also fun flourishes in the cabin, including cyber punk-inspired air vents.
Why lease the BYD Dolphin Surf?
If you’re looking for a cool-looking urban EV that won’t break the bank, the BYD Dolphin Surf is well worth a look.
There are two battery sizes to choose from; entry-level models utilize a small 30 kWh that unlocks a 137-mile max range, while a larger 43.2 kWh battery ups the range to 200 miles.
All models are well equipped as standard, with the entry-level ‘Active’ trim featuring a 10.1-inch rotatable touchscreen, vegan leather upholstery, and full suite of driver assistance and safety tech, including intelligent cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure assist and intelligent high-beam control.
The BYD Dolphin Surf is also surprisingly practical, coming with a generous 308-litre boot which trumps rivals like the MINI Cooper Electric or the Hyundai Inster.
