6 out of every 10 electric vehicles are BYD! Chinese cars dominate overseas markets: foreigners queue up to take delivery.

According to data from Singapore's Land Transport Authority, BYD has topped Singapore's passenger car sales rankings across all brands for 19 consecutive months from January 2025 to July 2026.

From January to July this year, BYD's cumulative registered sales in Singapore reached 7,928 units, with a market share of 24.7% and a pure electric market share as high as 40.3%. This means that for every 10 pure electric vehicles sold in Singapore, 6 are BYD.

Looking at the brand sales rankings, BYD's 7,928 units lead by a wide margin, with Toyota in second place at 3,968 units, Tesla in third at 3,260 units, Mercedes-Benz in fourth at 2,040 units, and BMW in fifth at 1,797 units.

Among Chinese brands, Chery (1,470 units), MG (1,197 units), and GAC Group (1,102 units) all made the top ten, with Chinese brands now accounting for half of Singapore's automotive market.

Notably, BYD's prices in Singapore are far higher than in China. Taking the popular ATTO 3 model as an example, the 100kW version sells for approximately S$184,000 (including Certificate of Entitlement) in Singapore, equivalent to around RMB 950,000, while the same model sells for only about RMB 120,000 in China—a price gap of nearly six times.

From January to July 2026, BYD's cumulative overseas sales reached approximately 969,000 units, a year-on-year increase of about 76%. In July alone, overseas sales hit 179,800 units, up 124.3% year-on-year, setting a new record and accounting for approximately 43% of the group's total sales—the first time it has consistently exceeded the 40% threshold.
