The new Renault Twingo is coming to the UK – and it could be one of the most exciting affordable EVs yet. But how does this tiny, lightweight electric car stack up against one of its closest rivals, the BYD Dolphin Surf?
Nicola Hume and Harry Benjamin put the two head-to-head, comparing everything from range, charging and practicality to interior space and driving fun. The Twingo is just 3.79m long, weighs around 1,200kg and uses a tiny 27.5kWh battery – yet Renault claims up to 163 miles of range. The Dolphin Surf is bigger, heavier and has a 43.2kWh battery, giving it up to 193 miles of range in the version we're testing.
But bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. The Twingo's light weight, clever sliding rear seats and brilliant manoeuvrability could give it the edge – while the Dolphin Surf counters with more space, more power and faster charging.
