Compact dimensions do not prevent the BYD Dolphin Surf Comfort from delivering a surprisingly capable electric package. Its 115-kW motor produces 154 hp and 162 lb-ft, driving the front wheels through a direct-drive transmission. The result is an 8.8-second 0–60 mph time and a 93-mph top speed, while the 43.2-kWh battery provides a 193-mile claimed range. Energy consumption is rated at 22.4 kWh/100 miles, making the small hatchback particularly suited to efficient urban and suburban driving.
The Comfort's compact footprint is supported by MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion-beam rear axle, with solid-disc brakes at both ends and 185/55R16 tyres. Its five-door body seats four people and offers 10.9–36.6 cubic feet of luggage space, while the 3,064-pound curb weight reflects its battery-electric architecture. As a 2025–2026 model, the Dolphin Surf Comfort occupies the more powerful end of BYD's smallest EV range, combining modest dimensions with useful range and straightforward electric performance.
