BYD Dolphin Active 70kW: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Dolphin Active 70kW rank in its segment?

Among the 11 city cars electric 2020–2024, the Dolphin Active 70kW ranks 7th of 11 in WLTP range (340 km, behind the BYD Dolphin Boost 150kW), 11th of 11 in 0–100 km/h (12.3 s, behind the Alpine A290 GTS 192kW).

What is the WLTP range of the Dolphin Active 70kW?

340 km WLTP announced - making it the 7th of 11 in WLTP range out of 11 models. The reference is the BYD Dolphin Boost 150kW (427 km).

How much does the Dolphin Active 70kW cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a BYD Dolphin Boost 150kW instead?

The BYD Dolphin Boost 150kW leads in WLTP range (427 km vs 340 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Dolphin Active 70kW vs BYD Dolphin Boost 150kW duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
