Is BYD a Car for the Poor?
2 Answers
Driving a BYD does not necessarily mean the person is poor. Here is an introduction to BYD: 1. Brand History: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a team of just over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Originally a battery maker, BYD was essentially an 'outsider' when it came to automobile manufacturing. However, leveraging its 'independent intellectual property rights' and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto, BYD gained a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. 2. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development path of independent R&D, production, and branding, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the masses. Its product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with Chinese cultural aesthetics.
I used to think BYD was just a cheap brand, but my perspective completely changed after driving my friend's Tang DM-i. This car starts at over 200,000 yuan, featuring suede interior with a large screen, over 100 km pure electric range, and acceleration that outperforms many luxury cars. Now BYD's premium series like the Yangwang U9 are reaching million-yuan price points. Frankly, the automotive market has transformed - after technological breakthroughs, domestic brands can truly compete with international giants. As someone who's driven for ten years, I genuinely believe judging brands solely by price tags is too one-sided.
