BYD Dolphin
Ultra-low pricing sets the BYD Dolphin hatch apart.
BYD will take on the Volkswagen ID.3, Renault Megane E-Tech Electric and MG 4 directly with the Dolphin. A roomy five-door hatchback, it comes with a high-quality cabin, BYD’s slick touchscreen tech (which not only rotates when you want it to, but which is also easy to use) and what seems like roundly impressive handling and a decent range.
