Milestone for BYD as 100th UK dealership opens

Fast-growing Chinese brand BYD has opened its 100th UK franchised car sales site – just two-and-a-half years after its first dealership was launched.

As a result of its latest openings in key towns and cities such as Canterbury, Chichester, Croydon, Ipswich and St Albans, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles (fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars) claims it now has an average drive time of just 27 minutes across virtually all of the UK, ensuring that both new and potential customers can conveniently browse and test drive the latest models.

“I’m hugely proud to see us reach this remarkable milestone for BYD in the UK in such a short space of time, as we open more stores to offer even more support to both our current and new customers,” said BYD UK’s Sales & Network Director, Steve Beattie.

“It’s also proof of the strength of the relationships with our retailer partners and their hard work and dedication in driving the brand forwards, ensuring that our BYD cars are seen up and down the country in ever increasing numbers.”
