BYD electric and hybrid cars: UK prices, range and battery

Guide prices in our list run from £18,650 (BYD Dolphin Surf 30 kWh Active) to £46,990 (BYD Sealion 7 82.5 kWh RWD). Prices are approximate, change often, and some may already include the Electric Car Grant. Always confirm the on-the-road price with the seller.

Typical real-world range in our list runs from about 115 to 295 miles across the 7 pure EV versions (EV Database estimates). The official WLTP figure is higher; winter and motorway driving reduce range further.

In our list it is the BYD Dolphin Surf 30 kWh Active at about 3.8 miles per kWh (EV Database estimate).

None of the BYD versions in our list appears on the Electric Car Grant list.

We understand BYD's standard new-car warranty to be 6 years. Battery warranties are separate, typically around eight years or 100,000 miles: confirm the terms for your car.

Each model can be checked against the Warrantywise Reliability Index, which uses used-car repair data (vehicles three to fifteen years old, at least 250 per model). Many new models have no score yet, and the Index is not a prediction for an individual car.
