Both entry trims list about 140 miles of WLTP combined range. Both list rear parking sensors; BYD’s Dolphin Surf Active also lists a rear-view camera and 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen as standard. That is a manufacturer equipment listing, not a parking test. Try the exact trim and view in your own parking space, then ask for matched written on-the-road quotes.
