BYD officially entered the Australian market in November 2022 with its first model, the Atto 3 midsize electric SUV. Since then, its product lineup has expanded rapidly, now covering six battery-electric models and five plug-in hybrid models, spanning major segments from micro cars to large SUVs and pickups. Data shows that among the 100,000 new vehicles delivered, battery-electric vehicles account for more than 64,000 units. In 2025 alone, BYD sold 52,415 vehicles in Australia, up 156.2% year-on-year, breaking into the top 10 annual new vehicle sales rankings at eighth place. More notably, over 60,000 of the cumulative 100,000 deliveries were completed in the past 12 months. Entering 2026, the growth momentum has only intensified. As of mid-April, BYD has sold 17,541 new vehicles in Australia, double its sales from the same period in 2025.
