More Light. More Space.
Take in the world around you with the DOLPHIN G DM-i’s panoramic glass roof - a dome structure that creates a lighter and more spacious cabin. The slim design means more headroom while maintaining rigidity for passenger safety.
Designed Around You
Spacious Cabin The DOLPHIN G DM-i offers generous interior space that you won’t find with other cars of its size. With a spacious and well-designed cabin, passengers have room to stretch out and move with ease, whether you're sitting up front or in the back seats.

Seamless Wireless Charging
Just power on the vehicle and place your wireless charging-compatible phone on the charging pad, and charging starts automatically. It's fast, simple, and cable-free, so you can power up your phone wherever you’re heading. The clever tilted design keeps it secure when you're on the move.
Light That Moves With You
Create a personalised cabin atmosphere with 31-colour ambient lighting that adapts to your mood. Synced with your music, the colour of the lights shifts with the rhythm, creating an immersive driving experience.
The 8-inch Head-Up Display projects key driving information directly onto the windshield. Speed, navigation, and other important data are shown directly in the driver’s line of sight, so only a slight downward glance is needed to access this key information. This helps reduce distractions and makes driving safer and more comfortable.
A high-definition camera system with ultrasonic sensors provides a real-time 360° view around the vehicle. The system displays the front, rear, left, and right views on a single screen, helping drivers see their surroundings clearly when parking or driving in tight spaces.
BYD DOLPHIN G DM-i features an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS), including Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Assist (LDA) + Emergency Lane Keeping Assist (ELKA), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Front Cross Traffic Alert / Front Cross Traffic Brake (FCTA/FCTB), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert / Brake (RCTA / RCTB).
The BYD DOLPHIN SURF may be a compact EV but its clever packaging means it’s ready for everyday life.
