BYD produced its 15 millionth new energy vehicle, a Denza N8L, on December 18, 2025, completing in 13 months a volume increase that previously took 13 years.

The BYD’s Denza B5 body-on-frame plug-in hybrid SUV scored five stars in the ANCAP crash and safety evaluation test.

The order completes the volume defined in the 2023 framework agreement, with phased delivery expected to begin in second quarter of 2027

The 15 millionth BYD NEV rolled off the production line 13 months after the 10 millionth unit.

BYD isn’t focused on selling cars in the U.S.—it aims to dominate the battery OEM market, disrupting supply chains with massive production scale.

In the US, the Ford F150 has been the best-selling truck for 48 consecutive years and the best-selling vehicle overall for the past 43 years. Americans love their trucks. Much of that love has little to do with actually carrying cargo in the bed. However, with ongoing construction on my street, I am reminded that some truck users prioritize function. Looking through materials for BYD’s new T4, it raised a question: What if you actually needed a truck to carry stuff? Overall, the BYD T4 has a GVWR of 3.495 metric tons or 7705 lbs., which would technically make it a Class 2 Truck in the US. Being Class 2 would make certification easier, as the regulations are different than for passenger vehicles (even though many Class 2 trucks, like the F250, are used as passenger vehicles). Payload comes in at 1545 kg for the flatbed (3406 lbs.), which is roughly 50% more in comparison to the most capable F150 and twice as much as the most popular model. The bed of the T4 is over 13 feet long overall and over 12.6 feet long inside with the sides folded up. That bed is also over 50% longer than the 8’ bed F150 and over twice as long as the most popular version, while the T4 is shorter overall. And, because it is a flatbed, the bed width is not restricted by wheel wells, making the bed floor ~50%. At over 6’ wide, wider than the most popular F150 truck bed is long. A 15 cubic meter cargo box is also available, which is in line with the largest Jumbo/Extended Frame high-roof version of the Transit van, but in a much smaller footprint.

BYD has blown past Chery and Geely to boast the title of Australia's cheapest plug-in hybrid. The mid-size Sealion 5 SUV is available to order now.

In the face of an increased 'super hybrid' onslaught from other Chinese brands, BYD has introduced a cut-price entry model to the Sealion 6 range.
