5 stars

We had an excellent experience securing a vehicle lease agreement through FleetSauce, and Matthew was instrumental in helping us find the perfect solution for our business needs. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand our requirements and guided us in selecting the right lease option tailored to our situation. Once finalised, the process proceeded seamlessly. The only thing left was waiting out the lead time, which went by without any issues. Overall, we are very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend Matthew and his team to anyone looking for a smooth and efficient vehicle leasing experience.

Why Choose a BYD Dolphin? Everything You Need to Know

If you have not experienced a BYD electric vehicle before, you will quickly be impressed by the high level of standard equipment, build quality, and smooth electric acceleration. The Dolphin is perfectly sized for tight city streets while remaining completely composed on longer motorway journeys.

By opting for a Dolphin contract hire, you get cutting-edge EV technology, low running costs, and advanced driver aids, all paired with the competitive leasing rates we provide here at Fleet Sauce.

Step Inside the Dolphin for Smart Tech and Comfort

The interior of the BYD Dolphin is spacious, comfortable, and packed with features you would normally expect on a much more expensive car, including vegan leather seats and bright, modern colour options.

The Rotating Touchscreen Experience

The focal point of the cabin is the signature 12.8-inch electric rotating touchscreen. With the touch of a button, you can switch between landscape and portrait modes to suit your navigation or media preferences. It comes fully equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Clever Practicality and Boot Space

Despite its compact exterior, the Dolphin offers fantastic interior space. The boot provides 345 litres of capacity, and the 60/40 split rear seats fold down to reveal a huge 1,310-litre load area, making it incredibly versatile for carrying larger items.

Advanced Driving Assistance

Safety is a priority, with standard features including intelligent cruise control, lane keeping assist, front and rear collision warning, and a highly useful 360-degree parking camera.

Agile Performance Tuned for City and Suburbs

The BYD Dolphin is engineered to make everyday driving incredibly easy and relaxing. With instant torque from the electric motor, acceleration is brisk and completely silent.

The suspension is tuned for comfort, effortlessly handling bumps and rough road surfaces, while the light steering makes parking in tight urban spaces simple.

Innovative BYD Blade Battery Technology

At the heart of the Dolphin is BYD's revolutionary Blade Battery. This lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery is entirely cobalt-free and has passed rigorous safety tests, including being penetrated by a nail without catching fire or emitting smoke.

Depending on the trim, the 60.4 kWh battery option delivers up to 265 miles of range on a single charge, providing plenty of flexibility for longer trips.

Fleet Sauce Pro Tip on Electric Vehicle Tax Benefits

For company car drivers, choosing a fully electric vehicle like the BYD Dolphin makes incredible financial sense.

Because it produces zero tailpipe emissions, it falls into the lowest possible Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax bracket, leaving you with significantly more take-home pay each month compared to a petrol or diesel equivalent.

Built for the Future, Backed by BYD Quality

Every BYD Dolphin lease includes a robust manufacturer warranty, giving you complete peace of mind throughout your contract. The vehicle itself is covered for 6 years (or 93,750 miles), while the battery carries an exceptional 8-year (or 155,000-mile) warranty.

How to Choose Your Trim, Active, Boost, Comfort, or Design

The BYD Dolphin is available in four distinct trim levels, making it easy to find the perfect balance of range, performance, and luxury.

Here is a quick look at how the trims compare

Feature Active (Entry Level) Comfort (Core Spec) Design (Flagship)
Battery & Range 44.9 kWh battery (up to 211 miles) 60.4 kWh battery (up to 265 miles) 60.4 kWh battery (up to 265 miles)
Exterior Highlights 16-inch alloy wheels & LED headlights 17-inch alloy wheels & folding mirrors Panoramic glass roof & two-tone paint
Cabin & Tech 12.8-inch rotating screen & 360 camera Heated front seats & improved audio Wireless phone charging & rear privacy glass

Business Leasing, A Smart Fleet Choice

For business owners and fleet managers, the BYD Dolphin provides an incredibly cost-effective way to transition to electric vehicles. Its competitive pricing, solid real-world range, and spacious load area with the seats down make it a highly practical asset for daily operations, while protecting your company cash flow with fixed monthly budgeting.

Looking for a BYD Dolphin Salary Sacrifice Deal?

The fully electric BYD Dolphin is an exceptional choice for corporate employee car schemes. By using an employer salary sacrifice scheme, you can drive away in a brand-new EV for a highly efficient monthly cost.

  • Substantial Income Tax Savings by paying for the car directly from your pre-tax gross salary.
  • All-Inclusive Fixed Costing that bundles routine servicing, maintenance, and breakdown cover into one payment.
  • Zero Cash Deposit required to get the keys to your new car.

BYD Dolphin Frequently Asked Questions

2. How big is the boot space?
