BYD launches 125th dealership
23 December 2025 BYD will reach a significant landmark in the UK by closing out 2025 with a total of 125 franchised dealership sites across the nation. It’s a significant achievement, given that just 12 months ago, the brand’s presence consisted of only 52 dealers.
As a result of the opening of several new covering various locations across the UK, BYD’s ever-expanding network coverage will enable it to enter 2026 with even greater purpose and ease.
Steve Beattie, Deputy Country Manager of BYD UK, commenting on the latest said:
“It’s a huge achievement for us at BYD UK to hit 125 dealer locations in such a short space of time. It really speaks of our desire to provide access to the world’s leading New Energy Vehicle manufacturer to as many customers as possible, and I’m massively proud of the team that put in all the hard work that made this happen.
“I’d also like to extend a huge thank you to all of our retail partners who have chosen to join us in 2025, as well as our existing partners who are expanding into additional locations. This continued growth is a powerful endorsement of the confidence retailers have in BYD and the exciting potential ahead, further reinforced by BYD being ranked 3rd in the NFDA, a fantastic achievement for the brand.”
The retailer network now consists of 38 partners – 18 of which were new to the business in 2025.
