China’s fast-growing EV maker BYD, backed by Berkshire Hathaway, has been named Carbuyer.co.uk Best Small Electric Car and Carbuyer.co.uk Car of the Year in the 2024 Carbuyer New Car Awards.
The Carbuyer judges said:
Best Small Electric Car: BYD DOLPHIN
“Compact on the outside, capacious on the inside, the BYD DOLPHIN is efficient, good to drive, loaded with tech and, with the bigger of the two batteries, comes with a sensible real-world range. It might not be pocket change, but the BYD DOLPHIN costs a good chunk less than its mainstream rivals.”
Carbuyer Car Of The Year: BYD DOLPHIN
“It really is quite extraordinary how a brand you’ve probably never heard of – albeit one that sells millions of cars in its home market – can so drastically undercut the competition and still offer such a compelling package. The BYD DOLPHIN isn’t a cheap car, it’s a great-value car. There’s a difference.”
