BYD Korea is adopting a series of strong after-sales strategies — rarely seen among other imported carmakers — as part of its efforts to achieve sustainable growth by building trust with local customers, the Chinese carmaker said Thursday. The brand made its debut in Korea in January with the launch of its globally recognized Atto 3 electric SUV model. The carmaker has since focused on expanding repair and maintenance infrastructure as a top priority, rather than sticking to sales growth. The carmaker offers a 150,000-kilometer or six-year warranty on its vehicles, and the figure is generally above that offered by most other imported auto brands. The electric vehicle (EV) maker is also placing a strategic focus on easing lingering safety concerns of EVs by expanding the number of its service centers nationwide. The company opened 12 repair centers when it began operations in Korea, and the number has since grown to 14 nationwide. The automaker plans to establish 25 official service

Hyundai Motor, Audi and BYD are redirecting their strategic focus on electric sedans to achieve balanced sales growth with their SUV lineups. The three carmakers recently introduced flagship all-electric models in Korea, hoping to capture local demand for quality sedans. Last month, Hyundai Motor unveiled the freshly redesigned IONIQ 6 electric vehicle (EV) for the Korean market. The upgraded model came in almost three years after the vehicle debuted in September 2022. The IONIQ 6 is one of the carmaker’s flagship EV models, along with the IONIQ 5 compact SUV. The new IONIQ 6 has clear upsides compared with other electric sedans, as the vehicle is capable of traveling up to 562 kilometers on a single charge — the highest among EVs available in Korea. Given local customers’ strong preference for longer-range EVs, the vehicle holds a strong competitive edge in the non-premium EV sedan market. The vehicle is available for less than 50 million won ($35,700), making it an outstanding

The new electric SUV officially went on sale in the UK on Tuesday. BYD revealed Atto 2 prices will start from £30,850, undercutting much of the competition. more…

BYD's vehicle production fell 0.9 percent in July from a year earlier, ending a 16-month growth streak that has catapulted the Chinese automaker into the world's largest electric vehicle maker. BYD made 317,892 EVs and plug-in hybrids globally last month, down 0.9 percent in its first decline in more than a year, while sales edged up 0.6 percent to 344,296 vehicles, slowing sharply from a 12 percent increase in June, according to a monthly filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange. The company last saw shrinking production in February 2024, in line with an industry-wide fall due to the timing of China's Lunar New Year holiday which fell in February versus January in the prior year. Sales contracted in February 2024 as well. BYD, which is the biggest Chinese rival to Tesla, saw both production and sales hit record highs in the fourth quarter of 2024 before trending down this year.

With technology gap narrowed, BYD is poised to outsell Tesla this year.

The BYD Seal. The Chinese EV-maker BYD says it will pay for any damage caused by its upgraded self-parking system, as reported earlier by Fast Company. A translated version of BYD’s announcement on Weibo says the company “will fully cover the safety and losses” of vehicles damaged by its God’s Eye self-parking system, which it claims has reached Level 4 autonomy. So far, only Mercedes-Benz has built a Level 4 parking system, allowing select vehicles to park without human intervention. But, this feature isn’t available everywhere just yet — Mercedes-Benz drivers can only use the technology inside the Stuttgart Airport’s parking garage. Other automakers offer parking assist features, but Tesla’s Elon Musk has been particularly vocal about making vehicles fully autonomous. Right now, Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems
