Dolphin Active

RRP £26,195

Carwow price from

£24,666

The Dolphin Active represents the entry point to the range, with a useful price cut over the other models. The main difference is a less powerful electric motor which produces just 94hp and has a 0-62mph time of 12.3 seconds. There's also a smaller, 44kWh battery with a range of 211 miles. Otherwise the Active is still well-equipped with a heat pump for improved winter range, 12.8-inch infotainment display, LED headlights, keyless entry and a 360-degree parking system.
