BYD Records 4.6 Million NEV Sales in 2025, Retaining Global No. 1 Ranking

BYD has retained its position as the world’s largest seller of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), recording total global sales of 4,602,436 units in 2025. The achievement marks another major milestone for the company and reinforces its leadership in the global transition towards sustainable mobility.\

In 2025, BYD also became the world’s largest seller of battery electric vehicles, reflecting sustained growth across its fully electric portfolio. The company’s performance was driven by strong demand across both domestic and international markets, supported by continued investment in technology, manufacturing scale, and vertically integrated clean energy solutions.

A key driver of this growth was BYD’s accelerated international expansion. For the first time, annual overseas sales surpassed one million units, reaching over 1.04 million vehicles across more than 110 countries. This represents a 145 percent year on year increase, with Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia emerging as key growth regions. China remains BYD’s largest market, accounting for the majority of total NEV sales.

This global momentum is reflected in Sri Lanka, where BYD has been leading sales in the brand new segment in EVs and PHEVs, following the lifting of vehicle import restrictions in February 2025. Through its authorised distributor, John Keells CG Auto, BYD has introduced nine models to the local market, including DOLPHIN, ATTO 3, SEAL, M6, ATTO 1, ATTO 2, SEALION 5, SEALION 6, and SHARK 6. They have established a growing NEV ecosystem, supported by seven showrooms across Colombo, Moratuwa, Kandy, Galle, Ampara, Kurunegala, and Ratnapura, along with over 21 charging points nationwide.
