BYD now holds 3.6% UK market share, beating Mini and Tesla despite missing out on government subsidies. By Stewart Burnett

UK is now the Chinese carmaker’s largest international market after sales rose nearly 10-fold in September

MEUDON, France (Reuters) -Renault's low-cost brand Dacia on Monday unveiled a prototype electric mini-car that could cost less than 15,000 euros ($17,625), potentially providing a competitive alternative to low-cost Chinese electric vehicles. The "Hipster Concept", which could go into production if the European Union agrees to create a new small car category, is tiny, only 3 metres (9.84 ft) long and weighing less than 800 kg (1,763.7 lb). The shortest car on the market in Europe today, Leapmotor's T03 city car, is 62 cm longer.

BYD's launch of its high-quality, sub-$20,000 Seagull EV in Latin America is a strategic masterstroke that massively undercuts the competition, establishing a powerful beachhead in the Americas and exposing the critical failure of Western automakers.

BYD Auto South Africa is set to make waves in the local EV market with the launch of its bold and compact hatchback, the Dolphin Surf.

In the latest round of EURO NCAP safety testing, the BYD Dolphin Surf (aka Seagull) scored the maximum 5 star rating (along with the Nio Firefly, Hyundai Ionic 9, smart #5 and MINI Cooper). Although 5-star ratings have become an expectation, they are by no means guaranteed. The BMW 1 Series, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Suzuki e Vitara, MG3 and Citroen C5 Aircross all came up short to score 4 stars. However, when watching the crash test videos of the Dolphin Surf, it is particularly impressive how well it did, considering its size and short crumple zones.
