01 / Owner question

Do the original European BYD Dolphin Surf Active, Boost and Comfort all offer the same WLTP range?

No. BYD's May 2025 European launch lists Active with a 30 kWh pack and 220 km combined WLTP, Boost with 43.2 kWh and 322 km, and Comfort with 43.2 kWh and 310 km.

02 / Verifiable model data

What the manufacturer actually specifies

Exact model-year, market and equipment conditions apply to each reference.

Equipment and year check: The Dolphin Surf is not the same vehicle as the larger Dolphin or Dolphin G DM-i. These are original European WLTP type-approval figures, not guaranteed range, usable pack energy, a later market update or VIN-specific battery service figures.

Ownership coverage / source edition versus exact vehicle

Your owner's reference: what's known and what's missing

We're bringing every international vehicle to the same evidence and maintenance structure as our exact-code dossiers. This page has manufacturer-edition information, not a fully verified chassis/VIN service record. Each topic below shows the current evidence level.

Factory model specifications

Model-edition evidence

3 original manufacturer-edition data points. Read each row's market, engine and equipment conditions; none covers every VIN.

Oil, fluids & scheduled maintenance

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

Exact oil fill, approvals, coolant and maintenance intervals require the correct engine, market and original owner/service manual.

Tyres, wheels & batteries

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No universal tyre/pressure or battery value is claimed. Confirm the door placard, fitted wheel and exact factory electrical system.

OEM parts & fitment

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No VIN-qualified replacement part has been reviewed. The vehicle model name alone is insufficient for fitment.

Warning lights & diagnostics

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

Engine/EV fault symptoms and model-specific repair evidence still need independent source review.

Recalls & campaigns

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No VIN/jurisdiction-specific recall determination is available in this model research profile. Check the manufacturer's official VIN recall lookup.

Maintenance & DIY guides

Exact-vehicle evidence pending

No exact-variant DIY procedure is attached here yet. Text instructions will be published only after safety and source checks; images are managed separately.

No edition-compatible service dossier is currently attached to this model. A similarly named vehicle from another year, engine or market cannot fill the missing values.

For exact-chassis ownership data, use the published vehicle directory. Only vehicles with source-reviewed chassis facts appear there.

03 / Deeper ownership research

Service, batteries, tyres and model-specific comparisons

These manufacturer references separate engines, battery types, wheel packages and markets. They do not invent a specification for every trim.

03 / Source and context

Original manufacturer documents

This page introduces a documented vehicle model family and a specific manufacturer edition. It is not a claim that all VINs or trims have identical service fills, batteries, tyres or fitment. An exact-generation maintenance fact must be reviewed independently before entering the chassis-linked catalog.
