Owners report that the BYD Dolphin provides a peaceful and refined driving experience, typical of electric vehicles. Feedback shows that the 70 kW motor delivers smooth, linear acceleration that feels punchy in city traffic (0-50 km/h), making overtaking easy.
Local owners often describe the 2015 Rexton as a “big, tough SUV” that feels most at home on long runs, estate roads and rougher surfaces rather than tight city streets. The diesel engine delivers good pull once moving, especially on climbs and overtakes, but initial response in heavy traffic feels more relaxed than sporty.
