Is BYD a Domestic Brand?
2 Answers
BYD is a domestic brand. It is a Chinese automobile brand primarily engaged in the production of commercial and family sedans, as well as batteries. The company has established production bases in regions such as Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Ningbo, and Xi'an, and has subsidiaries or offices in the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Taking the BYD Han as an example: it is a mid-to-large-sized vehicle with dimensions of 4980mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1495mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2920mm. It is equipped with a pure electric 222-horsepower motor, a pure electric 494-horsepower motor, and a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 163kW, 363kW, and 141kW respectively, paired with an electric vehicle single-speed transmission and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I'm a loyal fan of BYD and proudly own a BYD Song DM-i. It fills me with pride that it's a homegrown brand. BYD, short for BYD Company Limited, was founded in Shenzhen in 1995 and has remained 100% Chinese from the start. You might not know this, but it initially started with battery production before making waves globally with its electric vehicles, now standing as a benchmark for domestic automakers. As a consumer, I believe supporting homegrown brands is both cost-effective and patriotic, especially with BYD's high value-for-money cars that dominate the streets, brimming with Chinese elements, giving a solid driving experience. If you're considering buying a car, don't hesitate—it's pure Chinese-made, reliable in quality with lengthy warranties. In short, BYD is undoubtedly a pride of Chinese manufacturing, radiating national confidence on the road.
