BYD's cheapest electric vehicles. Orders open Monday 13th January for March delivery, confirmed by most major car news websites. Competitive cars for the price.

Range for these models is the same as the current base models. 340km Dolphin and 345km Atto 3. Very competitive options for urban drivers.

How long will legacy car makers continue to rely on loyalty before having to put prices down instead of increasing prices every year?

To hit the lower price, the Dolphin Essential deletes the outgoing Dynamic's panoramic glass roof, power-folding mirrors, wireless phone charging, heated front seats, privacy glass, and a phone key function.

Against the previous Standard grade, the Atto 3 Essential swaps 18-inch wheels for 17s, a 15.6-inch touchscreen for a 12.8-inch display, an eight-speaker stereo for a six-speaker system, and a blue/black interior for a single-tone black cabin.

It also removes a panoramic sunroof, power tailgate, roof rails, heated front seats, LED rear-side reading lights, and a 'music rhythm' function for the ambient interior lighting system.
