    When a company can’t come up with an original logo design, and rips off Kias old logo… 🤔🤣🤣🤣

      Except both are 3 letters, nothing look like the original KIA logo. Additionally, don’t overrate how hard is logo design. We can use AI to design 100 logos within 1 second.

    So now makers are quoting 30-80%charging times to give a better look. If only the technology advanced as quickly as the marketing BS

      if you understand how batteries work then 30 – 80 spec are very useful information

      @james Li if you understand how marketers work, you will realize that they are hoping that a proportion of their audience will overlook the shift from 20-80 to 30-80 and be impressed with the charging time. After all this is a vehicle reveal not a technical briefing

      All car reviews are part technical in nature. What proportion of the video was spent talking about charging times?

    How about I wouldn’t have any ev because of the charging infrastructure and expense to run.

      How about because I don’t like Marmite we ban sales of it for those that do like it, and whilst waiting for the ban join marmite forums to bang on to people who don’t care how much we don’t like it.

      Expensive to run? If you can have a charger at home, it’ll be way, way cheaper than an ICE to run. Charging at home costs only a few £, compared to filling up your tank with petrol. Even using public chargers they’re still a little cheaper than ICE cars.

    Not sure i’d like to put my hard cash into this but leasing one if you could get it might be an alternative.

    I am very sorry, but I can’t drive anything that is called Dolphin what a ridiculous name to give to a car!

      No more ridiculous than the Leaf, Beetle, Golf, Jazz, etc. You’re just not used to it

    Few if any self‐respecting Brits will want to be seen driving a car with that stupid Build Your Dreams monika on the boot. And what’s with that vasr expanse of squiggles at the baxk too? Ludicrous. I doubt they’ll shift more than fifty Dolphins at most here in the UK; I predict a massive sales and PR disaster in these Isles.

      The squiggles is because of the camo you muppet, the final version will have those removed

      Go look at any other car every OEM uses a similar pattern for their prototypes/pre production

    So another £30,000 car that many will never be able to afford

    Another car with unrealistic range and not good enough infrastructure

      Well depends what you use your car for. I do local driving mostly and every few weeks I travel several hundred kms on the weekend (265 on Friday and another 265 back on Sunday). I do this with 3 pin charging in my garage and haven’t had to use use a fast charger yet. My ev has slightly less than 60kwh.

    £30k for a car that sells elsewhere for £16k. Usual OTT UK/EU pricing. Charging speed isn’t that great &, unlike the Atto3, I don’t think the rear BYD name letters can be removed because they are embedded into the light bar trim. It’s the right size, decent spec & with a LFP battery but, too expensive. Smaller battery versions may be more price attractive for this size / type of car which rarely get taken on a long trips.

    €30,000 is not cheap. Calling faux leather “vegan” leather is just ridiculous!

    I am kind of wondering if this Dolphin will be equipped with BYD’s finest sodium battery?

    I’m not sure I’d pay the current costs for an EV anytime soon. I’d sit on my current diesel (£30 VED), and not a stupid insurance group. Until I’m able to buy something decent, when there is a more competitive market both purchase and insurance price wise.

    Honestly, I kinda like the camo design. If that’s only there on the pre-production model, they should offer it as an actual colour option, the accents look nice.

    It’s a shame the inside colours are so dark, it makes the car look pretty dim. The sunroof might help, but you can really tell in some of these shots how dark it can be inside. I wish more manufacturers went for white interior trim pieces, something just to lighten it up and make a change from the industry standard of dark black trim, with a dark black dask, and dark black seats.
