Description

Explore Iceland efficiently and in style with the BYD Dolphin – a compact electric hatchback designed for eco-conscious travelers who want practicality, comfort, and zero-emission driving on Iceland’s main roads.

The BYD Dolphin is equipped with a 60.4 kWh Blade Battery and offers a listed range of up to 427 km, making it a great option for road trips along the Golden Circle, the South Coast, or even the full Ring Road. As with all electric vehicles, range may vary depending on driving style, weather conditions, and terrain—especially during Iceland’s colder months. However, with its energy-efficient motor and regenerative braking system, the Dolphin is well-suited for efficient everyday travel and sightseeing.

Driving the Dolphin is quiet, smooth, and surprisingly fun thanks to its instant torque and fast acceleration (0–100 km/h in just 7 seconds). This compact hatchback is easy to maneuver in towns and cities, yet comfortable enough for longer drives. The modern interior features a rotating 12.8” touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, voice control, and a smart layout with ample space for five passengers.

Additional comfort features include heated front seats, vegan leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and USB-C charging ports in both the front and rear. With 345 liters of trunk space (expandable to 1,310 liters with the rear seats down), the Dolphin offers plenty of room for luggage and day packs.

Please note that the BYD Dolphin is not suitable for Highland roads or F-roads in Iceland. It is approved for paved and standard gravel routes only.

Your Dolphin rental will come with at least 70% battery charge and must be returned at the same level. If the charge drops below 70% upon return, a 25,000 ISK fee applies. Iceland’s growing network of charging stations makes it easy to stay powered throughout your trip, especially along the main tourist routes. We recommend planning your charging stops in advance for a smooth and stress-free experience.

Choose the BYD Dolphin for your next Iceland adventure—an efficient, comfortable, and sustainable way to see the country’s natural beauty at your own pace.
