KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 — During the launch of the BYD Dolphin last week we managed to get behind the wheel of the Dynamic Standard model which is priced just a hair above RM100,000....
is still the cheapest EV in terms of price, the Dolphin is significantly better for just RM100 extra and it is a serious contender for those looking for a new car that’s priced at RM100,000.Being the cheaper of the two Dolphin options available, the Dynamic Standard variant gets a single-tone body colour but you do get a blacked-out rear pillar to give it a “floating roof” appearance. BYD has gone with a more conservative look for the front with flat LED headlamps which some said looks like the.
Despite being a “budget” car, BYD has played around with different materials and textures to give it a more upmarket look. In the standard model that we drove, is gets a two-tone interior which has a combination of hard plastics, glossy plastic and soft-touch materials. The top part of the dash is obviously hard plastic but they have added textures which feels what I would describe as hard wood.
Getting into the driver seat, the Dolphin allows a fairly good amount of adjustments as you can adjust the height and reach of the steering wheel. Despite not having power seats for the front, the Dynamic Standard model offers height, tilt and slide adjustments so that you can find the most comfortable driving position. The rear is definitely spacious too and it feels like a car from a larger segment.
However, we are not sure if the ride comfort and handling are the same as the higher Premium Extended Range model. Besides getting a more powerful 150kW and 310Nm motor, the Premium model that costs RM25K more is heavier as it gets a larger 60.48kWh battery and it also gets a multi-link suspension. Hopefully, we can find out soon with an upcoming test drive.
Sometimes the warning alerts disappear before you can look down on the screen. For example, if you’ve set adaptive cruise control and the car couldn’t detect your hands on the steering, the screen shows a steering wheel icon for a split second without any text read out. Ideally, these warnings should stay on with clear text messages for a longer period of time or until the “issue” has been resolved by the driver.
