MG4 or BYD Dolphin — owners, what do you think?

Two of the most talked-about value EVs in the UK right now — the MG4 and the BYD Dolphin. Both around £26-29k new, both with long warranties, both with the price tag of a small family hatch.

Owners of either: what's the real-world ownership like? Range in winter, infotainment niggles, dealer experience, insurance costs? Trying to help a friend decide.

Dolphin owner here. The interior feels a step above the MG4 and the rotating screen is a party trick that actually works well. Winter range is honest — about 80% of the WLTP on cold days. Insurance was surprisingly OK for me.

Hello dear. I reckon both are a bit flashy for me, being used to my trusty Leaf. I just potter down the country lanes to the church or village fairs. But if you're choosing, the MG4 handles our Norfolk lanes beautifully. Just make sure you're on Intelligent Octopus at home, or InstaVolt rapid chargers will cost you a small fortune! Have you test driven either yet?
