BYD strengthens its position in the Australian market

BYD is intensifying its commercial presence in Australia, with a public campaign, multi-year sponsorship of the Hawthorn club, and homologation of the seven-seat Ti7 SUV. In October 2026, Chinese brands reached 38.8% of the Australian market, with BYD ranking second, surpassing Japanese manufacturers according to local press on a new commercial indicator. A BYD executive reflected on the strategic choices that led to this success and mentioned a next priority.
