BYD Dolphin vs BYD Atto 3

The Dolphin is the simpler compact-value play for city use, while the Atto 3 only earns the spend-up if you need crossover height and more family-friendly versatility.

Verdict: Choose the Dolphin if city use and value lead; choose the Atto 3 if you need extra crossover height and family practicality.
