New BYD Dolphin UK review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nBYD, despite being a relative newcomer to the UK market, wowed the Carbuyer panel: \u201cIt really is quite extraordinary how a brand you\u2019ve never heard of \u2013 albeit one that sells millions of cars in its home market \u2013 can so drastically undercut the competition and still offer such a compelling package,\u201d they said. \u201cThe BYD Dolphin isn\u2019t a cheap car, it\u2019s a great-value car. There\u2019s a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response, Bono Ge, Country Manager of BYD UK, said: \u201cWe are immensely proud of the BYD Dolphin\u2019s accomplishments in winning the Carbuyer.co.uk Car of the Year and Small Electric Car of the Year awards. This recognition reflects our commitment to advancing electric mobility and providing consumers with exceptional choices that align with their environmental values.\u201d<\/p>\n
Celebrating the very best cars currently on sale, Carbuyer \u2013 still the only automotive website approved by the Plain English Campaign \u2013 announced winners spanning every major segment, from superminis to sports cars. The site also revealed its favourite family cars, company cars, hybrid cars and electric cars, among others.<\/p>\n
Alongside the BYD, special mention goes to Skoda, which scooped three awards for its Fabia (Best Small Car), Octavia (Best Estate Car) and Kodiaq (Best Large Family Car) \u2013 the latter in spite of the fact a new version is due next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hyundai took two wins with the latest Kona \u2013 reigning Auto Express Car of the Year, no less \u2013 being awarded Best Small Family Car, while the fiery i20 N took home Best Hot Hatchback for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the Dacia Jogger was Carbuyer\u2019s Best Family Car and the Tesla Model Y was Best Company Car. The Ford Ranger was declared Carbuyer\u2019s Best Pickup, and the MG4 was Best Family Electric Car. The Honda Civic led a trio of hybrid-car categories, heading home with the Best Hybrid award.<\/p>\n
Leading a total of 19 categories including overall Car of the Year, the Dolphin overcame established competition for the top prize. The full list of winners, as well as the site\u2019s annual awards\u2019 video, can be found at Carbuyer.co.uk.<\/p>\n
