can you buy byd cars in mexico

Yes, you can buy BYD cars in Mexico. The Chinese automaker has officially entered the market and is rapidly expanding its presence, primarily focusing on its popular electric vehicle (EV) lineup. As of late 2023, BYD has established a headquarters in Mexico and opened its first dealerships, with plans for significant expansion. Initially, sales are concentrated in major metropolitan areas like Mexico City and Monterrey. If you're interested, you'll need to visit an authorized dealership, as online sales are not the primary method.

The models currently available are from BYD's global EV portfolio. The Han luxury sedan and the Tang SUV are popular choices, alongside more accessible models like the Dolphin (known as Dolphin Mini in Mexico) hatchback. A key advantage for Mexican buyers is that many of these EVs are exempt from the ISAN (Impuesto Sobre Automóviles Nuevos), a federal new car tax, and the tenencia (annual ownership tax) in some states, providing a significant cost incentive.

BYD's strategy involves a phased rollout. While you can buy one today, availability might be limited depending on your location. The company is aggressively opening new points of sale to improve accessibility nationwide. For those considering a new energy vehicle, BYD presents a viable option with competitive technology, such as their Blade Battery, which is known for its safety and longevity.

Here is a quick overview of some models and their key specifications available in the Mexican market:

Model	Type	Key Feature	Estimated Driving Range (WLTP)
BYD Dolphin	Compact Hatchback	Urban-focused EV	427 km (265 miles)
BYD Yuan Plus	Compact SUV	Global best-seller	420 km (261 miles)
BYD Han EV	Executive Sedan	High-performance AWD	521 km (324 miles)
BYD Tang EV	7-Seat SUV	Spacious family option	400 km (249 miles)
BYD Seal	Sports Sedan	Direct Tesla Model 3 competitor	570 km (354 miles)

Absolutely. I started seeing them on the roads here in Mexico City a few months back. There's a dealership not too far from where I live. It’s pretty straightforward—you just walk in like any other car brand. The salespeople were knowledgeable, especially about the tax benefits for electric cars. It feels like they’re really trying to compete with the established players. I’d say if you're in a big city, finding one is easy, but it might be trickier in smaller towns for now.

The short answer is yes, BYD has officially launched in Mexico. Their entry is a big deal because they're bringing their full electric lineup, not just one or two models. They're targeting the growing EV segment with competitive pricing and the advantage of federal and local tax exemptions. To buy one, your best bet is to check their official website for a list of authorized dealers, as their physical presence is still expanding beyond the major urban centers.
