LONDON: BYD UK's sales have hit almost 20,000 new vehicles in the first half of 2025 – more than double the full year total achieved in 2024.
Britain’s car-buyers have powered BYD to another record-breaking performance, with more than 10,000 new vehicles registered during the second quarter of the year.
Unsurprisingly, the figures maintain BYD’s status as the nation’s fastest-growing brand with volume up by 567% year-on-year so far.
The top performer across the past three months was the Seal U DM-I with 8,700 sales.
The super-smart SUV helped BYD increase its market share to 1.8% for the year to date, while for June the figure reached a new monthly high of 2.5%.
And there is the promise of more to come, with the newly launched Dolphin Surf set to make a big impact in the EV city car market in the UK and across Europe.
It offers a choice of battery capacities to suit different customer priorities for around-town daily driving, or with extra power for those prioritising more versatile performance on longer journeys.
BYD UK sales and marketing director Steve Beattie said: “These results reflect the fantastic response we’re seeing from UK consumers to our innovative and wide-ranging model line-up."
"Supported by our excellent retail teams, we’re giving them highly competitive and appealing options to enjoy the full benefits of electrified motoring.”
