WE’LL SAY ONE thing about the BYD Dolphin: it’ll give I Spy players a new way to bamboozle their opponents. After all, who expects to hear “I spy a Dolphin!” on a motorway jaunt?
This new small electric car from China will arrive on our shores this summer, hot on the heels of the firm’s larger Atto 3 electric SUV. It’s similar in size to the Peugeot e-208 and Vauxhall Corsa Electric, with a starting price predicted to be close to that of an entry-level MG 4.
RIVALS
MG 4 EV
★★★★★☆☆
Roomy, well equipped and offers astonishing value for money, particularly in entry-level trim.
Peugeot e-208
★★★☆☆
Plush inside, with a comfy ride. Pricier than the Dolphin, though, and range could be better.
