BYD has launched the 2026 Song Pro DM-i SUV, Song L DM-i hybrid SUV, and Qin L DM-i hybrid sedan, introducing upgrades including longer battery range.

BYD Japan's website today showcased the K-Car model, which will make its debut at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 starting October 30.

The new Bao 5 variants nearly double battery range, while the Bao 8 adds a five-seat version alongside existing six- and seven-seat options.

Thailand becomes BYD's first market in the Asia-Pacific region to surpass 100,000 deliveries.

The Denza N8L large six-seat SUV targets the family vehicle market, with pre-sales pricing starting at RMB 319,800 ($44,890).

The recalled Tang vehicles have a potential risk of pure electric drive mode failure, while the Yuan Pro faces a risk of water ingress into the power battery.

Fang Cheng Bao will launch a long-range version for the Bao 5 SUV and a five-seat version for the Bao 8 SUV on October 20.

The Yangwang U9 boasts 1,287 horsepower and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.36 seconds.

BYD currently sells seven models in South Africa, including five pure electric vehicles and two hybrid models.

As of the end of September, cumulative sales of BYD models equipped with assisted driving systems exceeded 1.7 million units.
