The Dolphin and Atto 3 are polished all-electric cars from Chinese EV manufacturer BYD (which stands for 'Build Your Dreams'). Take a test drive and lease a brand new BYD from a Motability-accredited BYD dealership near you.
This won't take a moment...
To order a BYD Atto 3 through Motability, you or someone you care for needs to currently be claiming the higher Mobility element of one of a number of Government benefits, including either the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the War Pensioners’ Motability Supplement or the Armed Forces Independence Payment. In Scotland, the benefits are either the Higher Rate Mobility Component of Child Disability Payment (CDP) or the Enhanced Rate Mobility Part of Adult Disability Payment (ADP).
Even if you don’t drive, you can still register for the scheme as a passenger and nominate up to three people who will be insured to drive the vehicle on your behalf.
Thanks to the ‘worry-free’ Motability package, the vast majority of the costs normally associated with running an EV are covered, meaning you only pay to charge up the battery.
In addition to a brand new car every 3 years (with a mileage allowance of 60,000 miles), you also benefit from comprehensive car insurance, regular servicing, maintenance, tyre and windscreen cover, RAC roadside assistance and road tax for the duration of the lease.

The BYD Atto 3 joins the crowded market for compact crossover-style EVs that you can lease through the Motability Scheme, though this fresh Chinese contender is a little less compact than most of its market rivals - and in some ways, it's a little cleverer too. It's a car you probably won't have ...
Chinese carmaker BYD gets serious about the British market with the introduction of this small EV, the quirkily named Dolphin. It’s great value, comfortable and looks far more practical than many of the more established class alternatives. Could this be the best small electric car on sale?
The BYD Atto 3 enters the crowded market for compact family-sized Crossover EVs, though this fresh Chinese contender is a little less compact than its mass-market rivals - and in some ways, a little cleverer too. It's the alternative you probably won't have considered, but possibly should.
The Motability Scheme helps people with a disability stay mobile by exchanging their Mobility Allowance for a brand new car or Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV). To qualify for a new BYD through the Motability Scheme, you need to currently benefit from one of the following government funded Mobility Allowances:
The Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance - £75.75 a week
The Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of the Personal Independence Payment - £75.75 a week
Higher Rate Mobility Component of Child Disability Payment (Scotland Only) - £75.75 a week
Enhanced Rate Mobility Part of Adult Disability Payment (Scotland Only) - £75.75 a week
The Armed Forces Independence Payment - £75.75 a week
The War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement - £84.55 a week
It's only the Mobility element of the allowance that is exchanged for a Motability vehicle, not the whole allowance. Joining the scheme is easy, with no forms or paperwork to fill in, no medical questions, no waiting lists and no credit checks more
Yes. Existing Motability customers and new customers who order a vehicle before the end of 2024 are eligible for the one-time payment - which is paid after the handover of a brand new BYD - when placing an application for a new vehicle with their local BYD Motability Specialist.
The Motability New Vehicle Payment is worth £750, and from April 2023 customers can choose to have all or a part of the New Vehicle Payment amount sent directly to their dealer to pay towards the Advance Payment of a new BYD.
New Vehicle Payment Can Now Be Used To Pay The Motability Advance Payment
If you lease a new BYD through the Motability Scheme you will benefit from comprehensive insurance for up to 3 drivers, RAC breakdown cover, replacement tyres, replacement windows and windscreens, regular servicing & maintenance and a huge 20,000 a year mileage allowance. You just have to pay for the fuel more
Standard metallic colours are normally included, so you can choose a BYD Motability car with metallic paint at no extra cost. If you choose a special or limited edition paint this may cost extra.
Yes. If you currently have your own vehicle you could choose to trade it in at your local BYD dealership.

Ask your BYD Motability Specialist for more information. Alternatively, get an instant valuation from Motorway and they’ll find the dealer who’ll pay the most for your car more
If you need a special adaptation to help you or a passenger to drive or access the vehicle, the Motability Specialist at the BYD dealerships you visit will be able to help advise you on the types of adaptations available.
