BYD UK Reaches 100,000 UK Car Sales in 3 Years

  • BYD UK has surpassed 100,000 vehicle registrations since launching in Britain in March 2023, with 37,995 registrations in the first half of 2026 alone, making it one of the UK's fastest-growing electric and plug-in hybrid car brands.
  • The BYD UK model range has expanded from one to over 10 vehicles, spanning fully electric (EV) and DM-i plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, with three more launches planned, offering multiple options for business fleet customers.
  • BYD has grown its UK retail network from five to 143 locations and continues to introduce new technology, including BYD Flash Charging, alongside upcoming models such as the DOLPHIN G DM-i, SHARK DMO, and Ti 7 DM-p.
  • Greenhous Fleet Services supplies the full BYD UK range for business fleets, helping companies choose award-winning electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, from the BYD DOLPHIN SURF to the BYD SEALION 7, alongside expert fleet support and advice.

BYD UK have officially reached the significant milestone of over 100,000 car registrations in Britain, after first launching to the UK car market in 2023.

Sales first began for the brand back in March 2023, with the debut model being the BYD ATTO 3. Since this point, BYD have now registered over 100,000 cars across the UK from both their fully electric and plug-in hybrid range. Of the 100,000 units registered since launching in the UK, 37,995 of them were registered in the first half of 2026 alone. In addition since launch, BYD have gone from five retailers in the country to a broader network of over 140 sites.

Speaking of the achievement, Bono Ge, Country Manager for BYD UK said, “We are incredibly grateful to the 100,000 BYD owners who have placed their trust in us—and to the 100,000 families behind them who have welcomed BYD into their lives.

We remain committed to delivering the very best ownership experience, supported by our nationwide network of 143 retail locations.

At the same time, we’re excited to bring even more innovative products to the UK, including the BYD DOLPHIN G, SHARK and Ti 7... We’re also introducing exciting new technologies, including our groundbreaking FLASH Charging technology, to make electric mobility even more convenient for our customers.”

From their initial launch to the present day, BYD have continued to work towards pushing boundaries and release the latest technology in electrified driving. Since their initial launch, the UK vehicle range has grown from just one model to eleven, with three more models launching soon. Now covering everything from the DOLPHIN SURF compact hatchback to the SEAL 6 DM-i saloon, the current BYD new car range offers a car for every driving style. The addition of the DM-i plug-in hybrid model range has further enabled the brand to open their electrified driving options to a broader range of customers who aren’t ready to switch to fully electric driving. The brand’s continued commitment to automotive excellence justifies why they are often recognised with major automotive awards, most recently taking home two wins at the Autotrader Drivers’ Choice Awards 2026.
