Signalling a major demonstration of its commitment, BYD today unveiled its first kei car, the Racco, at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show. The company has no plans

BYD's latest model, an ultra compact electric vehicle named Racco, debuted at the Japan Mobility Show this week, fitting into Japan's beloved kei car category.

Now, the Chinese automaker wants a piece of the action by developing a model just for Japanese shoppers. The Racco is slightly over 3.3 meters long, 1.48 meters wide, and 2 meters tall, yet it has enough surprises to make you stop in the middle of your commute.
