BYD favors Spain for its relatively low manufacturing costs and clean energy network, Reuters reported.

Over the weekend BYD introduced a refreshed Han, increasing the battery range of the DM-I (PHEV) to 245 km (152 mi), almost doubling the battery range. More than many early BEV’s and enough range to cover typical weekly usage with a couple of charges. In addition, fuel efficiency once the battery is depleted increased to 3.44 l/100 km (68 mpg). On the BEV Han, range increased to 635 km (394 mi) on mainstream models and 705 km (438 mi) on the top spec, up from 605 km and 701 km on previous models.While new product was being launched, China announced significant regulatory changes: in order to qualify for the purchase tax  exemption, PHEVs would need to have a range of at least 100 km (62 mi) and BEVs would have to meet stricter efficiency targets. Several other regulatory announcements, particularly around pricing, and product announcements were also made over the weekend, with more anticipated. Looking at product and regulation together helps to illustrate BYD's overall position in the changing Chinese market, with implications that extend beyond their borders.

The Song Plus, the only model in BYD's Ocean series named after a Chinese dynasty, is being replaced by the Sealion 06.

From January to July 2025, China’s passenger vehicle exports reflected a global landscape defined by diversification, electrification, and deeper regional integration.

At an event at their new factory in Bahia, Brazil, BYD Chairman Wang Chaunfu personally delivered its 14 Millionth NEV (BEV and PHEV) to Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

Local politicians praised the plant for rejuvenating the economy, providing both direct jobs and indirect benefits to local businesses.The vehicle delivered to Lula was a special edition Song Pro DM-I, manufactured at the plant. The vehicle is currently produced alongside the Seagull and King (aka, Chaser 05, Seal 5). Thirty of these vehicles will be provided for the November COP30 UN Climate Change Conference in the Amazonian city of Belém. After the event, the vehicles will be donated.
