BYD strengthens its commercial presence in Australia
BYD is launching a public relations campaign in Australia to boost sales and solidify its long-term position. In October 2026, Chinese brands accounted for 38.8% of the Australian market, with BYD in second place, and local press reports indicate that the manufacturer now surpasses Japanese brands on an unprecedented commercial metric. BYD has also signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with Hawthorn Club starting in 2027 and obtained homologation for the seven-seat Ti7 SUV for the Australian market. The sub-events focus almost exclusively on Australia; US coverage provides no national details, while the update on Chinese cars is linked to the Australian market.
