August 29, 2026 – According to data from Singapore’s Land Transport Authority, BYD has maintained its position as the top-selling passenger vehicle brand in Singapore for 19 consecutive months, spanning from January 2025 to July 2026.
From January to July of this year, BYD registered a total of 7,928 vehicles in Singapore, capturing a 24.7% market share. In the pure electric vehicle (EV) segment, its dominance is even more pronounced, with a market share reaching 40.3%. This means that out of every 10 pure electric vehicles sold in Singapore, 6 are manufactured by BYD.
In the overall brand sales ranking, BYD’s 7,928 units significantly outpaced its competitors. Toyota ranked second with 3,968 units, followed by Tesla in third place with 3,260 units. Mercedes-Benz and BMW secured the fourth and fifth positions with 2,040 and 1,797 units, respectively. Within the Chinese automotive contingent, Chery (1,470 units), MG (1,197 units), and GAC Group (1,102 units) all made it into the top ten, collectively demonstrating that Chinese brands now account for half of Singapore’s automotive market.
Notably, BYD’s vehicles are priced significantly higher in Singapore than in their domestic market. Taking the popular ATTO 3 as an example, the 100kW version is priced at approximately 184,000 Singapore dollars (including the Certificate of Entitlement), which translates to roughly 950,000 RMB. In contrast, the same model is priced at only around 120,000 RMB in China, representing a price gap of nearly six times.
On a global scale, BYD’s overseas business continues to surge. From January to July 2026, the company sold approximately 969,000 vehicles overseas, marking a year-on-year growth of about 76%. In July alone, overseas sales hit a record high of 179,800 units, a staggering 124.3% increase year-on-year. Overseas sales now account for approximately 43% of the group’s total sales, consistently surpassing the 40% threshold for the first time.
