Byd Dolphin G (2026- ) for sale nearRugby

The BYD Dolphin G is a noteworthy addition to the UK’s supermini small car sector. The country’s first plug-in hybrid, it has a generous EV range, and a fuel-sipping engine that means it’s economical even when the batteries are low. This could really help people offset expensive fuel prices without having to fully switch into an electric car.

It’s well-equipped and OK to drive, even if the ride and steering feel aren’t as good as some rivals. Rear seat space could be better too, given how it’s a longer car overall than many of its rivals. Competitive pricing, however, helps counter any grumbles, particularly as BYD is backing it up with some compelling finance deals. It’s not the most exciting car to drive, but as an overall package, it’s an interesting new option to consider.
