You can buy a new BYD car primarily through the company's official website, which is the most direct way to locate a nearby dealer or schedule a test drive. As a Chinese automaker with a significant global presence, BYD's availability in the U.S. is currently limited. However, the brand is expanding, and your best bet is to use the "Dealer Locator" feature on the BYD USA website. This tool will show you the nearest authorized dealerships based on your zip code.
In the U.S., BYD's focus has been more on commercial vehicles like buses and forklifts, but their passenger car lineup is gaining traction. Auto marketplaces like Cars.com, Autotrader, and CarGurus are also excellent resources. You can filter your search specifically for BYD models to see if any are listed by dealers in your area. While you might have fewer options for a new BYD compared to mainstream brands, these sites often include both new and certified pre-owned (CPO) inventory.
If you're open to a used model, it's worth checking platforms like CarMax or Carvana, as they sometimes have a wider selection of electric and hybrid vehicles from various brands. Remember that for any significant purchase, especially a vehicle, it's wise to read reviews, compare pricing, and schedule a test drive to ensure the car meets your specific needs, from driving range (the distance an EV can travel on a single charge) to in-car technology features.
