2025–2026 BYD Dolphin Surf Active Specs & Performance

The BYD Dolphin Surf Active is built around simplicity: a small electric hatchback with front-wheel drive, modest output and a battery sized for everyday urban travel. Its 65-kW motor produces 87 hp and 129 lb-ft, giving the lightweight hatchback a 10.7-second 0–60 mph time and a 93-mph top speed. The 30-kWh battery provides a claimed 137-mile range, while its 154 MPGe rating emphasizes the efficiency that defines this entry-level version.

Compact proportions make the Active particularly suited to city driving, with five doors and seating for four despite its small footprint. The 2025–2026 model also retains useful flexibility, offering 10.9–36.6 cubic feet of luggage space. MacPherson-strut front suspension and a torsion-beam rear axle keep the chassis straightforward, while the 2,853-pound curb weight helps the modest electric motor move the car without excessive energy demand.
