About the BYD Dolphin Surf
The BYD Dolphin Surf is a fully electric compact hatchback available in South Africa in Comfort and Dynamic specification levels, making it one of the most affordable new electric vehicles in the local market and a direct competitor to the Geely E2 at the entry level of the South African EV segment. Both variants are powered by BYDs Blade Battery technology with an electric drivetrain and automatic transmission, and the Dolphin Surf represents BYDs most accessible price point in South Africa — positioning it as the entry point for first-time EV buyers who want BYDs battery expertise and local service network at a competitive price. It suits urban commuters who want to transition to full electric ownership with the backing of one of the worlds largest EV manufacturers.
Who is the Dolphin Surf best for?
- First-time EV buyers who want BYD battery technology and service network at the most accessible electric vehicle price point
- Urban commuters comparing the Dolphin Surf against the Geely E2 on range, brand reputation, and total cost of ownership
- Buyers who want the Dynamic specification for a more complete feature set in an affordable entry-level BYD electric hatchback
- Petrol hatchback owners considering their first EV who want a compact, practical electric car with a recognised global brand behind it
