BYD Dolphin G: first look at the Chinese plug-in for the UK

BYD has brought the Dolphin G to the UK, a compact plug-in hybrid aimed at drivers looking for low running costs and easy everyday use. The first drive shows a car built around practicality, with a familiar platform and a hybrid system designed to keep the petrol engine in the background.

In the British market, the challenge is tough, but the Chinese model leans on equipment and price. For Italian readers, it is a clear sign that BYD is speeding up its European push with affordable cars suited to daily life.
