BYD Dolphin
BYD Dolphin Surf
VS
The BYD Dolphin and the sportier Dolphin Surf share the same efficient electric bones, but the Surf adds visual muscle, slightly firmer suspension and sharper steering for anyone craving a bit more attitude. Inside they’re twins — clever packaging, roomy rear seats and a useful boot — so the Surf’s appeal is mostly about style and a touch of driver engagement, while the standard Dolphin is the softer, smarter everyday companion. If you want best value and comfort, stick with the Dolphin; pick the Dolphin Surf only if looks and a hint of sportiness top your checklist.
BYD Dolphin
BYD Atto 2
VS

Honda Jazz
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Small and sensible, the Honda Jazz is a masterclass in clever packaging — airy rear seats, Magic Seat flexibility and effortless economy make it the practical everyman’s champion, even if it lacks SUV swagger. The Toyota Yaris Cross, by contrast, trades some of that interior generosity for a taller stance, sharper looks, and available AWD and safety tech, so choose it if you want crossover chic and confidence on rougher roads rather than maximum boot space.
Honda HR-V
Honda Jazz
VS
Think of the HR-V as the SUVs' extrovert — taller stance, more boot space and a confident road presence — while the Jazz is the clever, city‑savvy hatch that hides a brilliant, flexible cabin and frugal running costs. Choose the HR-V if you need space and SUV style; pick the Jazz if you value manoeuvrability, packaging genius and lower bills — either way, you get Honda reliability with two very different personalities.
