Question 1

How much does a BYD Dolphin Surf cost per month?

Accepted Answer

The monthly TCO for a BYD Dolphin Surf covers depreciation, fuel/energy, servicing, insurance, tyres and taxes. The exact figure depends on annual mileage, financing (cash/lease/loan) and region - the calculator on this page returns P10/P50/P90 estimates from a 500-run Monte Carlo simulation.

Question 2

How is the BYD Dolphin Surf cost calculated?

Accepted Answer

TCO v5.0 engine: 2D depreciation surface (age × mileage), event-based servicing (timing belt, injectors, brake pads), manufacturer warranty, per-chemistry battery degradation (LFP/NMC) and real-world consumption with a WLTP correction factor. Data sources: TÜV Report 2026, ADAC, URE, Autovista.

Question 3

Is a BYD Dolphin Surf worth it vs alternatives?

Below the calculator we list 3-4 similar models from the same ML cluster (KMeans) with their TCOs. The /compare/[modelA]/[modelB] comparator returns break-even, monthly/annual savings and a waterfall of cost differences by category.

Question 4

Which data are used to price a BYD Dolphin Surf?

Accepted Answer

New/used prices come from hand-curated MSRPs plus Autovista residuals. Insurance uses 20 UK-style groups with brand fallback, region and no-claim bonus. Service uses real repair schedules per model (200+) plus warranty coverage across 50 brands. Consumption applies a real-world factor plus a speed-dependent highway multiplier for BEVs (80→160 km/h).
