Design

Small but Feisty

Who says little cars have to be boring? The Dolphin Surf packs a punch with an aggressive stance, sharp angles, and just the right amount of sporty flair. It's got presence, perfect for those who want to make an entrance without making a dent in their wallet.

Frontend
Bird of prey
With sleek LED headlights, a bold BYD badge, and an air-gulping bumper, the Seagull's face is anything but timid. It looks ready to take off, even when it's parked.
Interior
A dash of luxury
High-tech meets high style with a minimalist dashboard, a beefy central screen, and sporty synthetic leather seats. Keyless entry, wireless charging, and an electric driver's seat add a dash of luxury.
Rear
Chunky impression
A full-width taillight, chunky spoiler, and sporty bumper ensure the Seagull leaves a lasting impression. Plus, there's a sneaky 230-litre boot, perfect for stuffing in your weekend shopping haul.
Side Profile
Premium strut
Pronounced lines, flush door handles, and stylish black cladding give the Seagull a premium feel. Throw in up to 16-inch alloys, and you've got a car that struts rather than scuttles.

Safety

Safety Meets Style

Affordable doesn't mean unsafe. The Dolphin Surf packs a solid safety kit, proving that small cars can still offer big protection.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Stop 'n go
Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts your speed to keep a safe distance from the car ahead, perfect for long hauls or city stop-and-go traffic.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Brakes before you blink
Automatic Emergency Braking steps in if you don't react in time, helping you avoid surprise bumps and bruises. Ideal for city driving where distractions lurk around every corner.
Lane Departure Warning
A gentle nudge
Lane Departure Warning keeps an eye on road markings, nudging you back if you start drifting. No more unintentional lane-hopping.
Reinforced Body Structure
Cocooned in safety
A high-strength steel body with an energy-absorbing design means this little bird can take a hit. It's all about keeping you cocooned in safety.

Technology

Brainy Bird

The Dolphin Surf isn't just a pretty face, it's got tech chops too. From a swanky rotatable touchscreen to over-the-air updates, this little EV is smarter than your average hatchback.

Rotatable Display
Twist and shout
That central touchscreen can rotate between landscape and portrait mode. So whether you're navigating or binge-watching, the Seagull's got you covered.
Over-The-Air Updates
Fresh and ever-evolving
With over-the-air updates and BYD's DiLink system, this EV keeps improving long after you drive it off the lot. No outdated software here, just fresh features at your fingertips.
Power and Range
Packing a punch
A 74hp motor, 135Nm of torque, and a choice of two battery sizes (30kWh or 38.8kWh) give you up to 252 miles on a charge. Small but mighty, the Seagull zips around town like it owns the place.
Screens
Screen time
A 7-inch digital driver display and a 10.2-inch HD touchscreen bring all the info you need. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4-speaker sound system? Sorted.
