BYD October sales hit a 2026 high at 490,168 as BEVs top 300,000 and PHEV sales slide again
BYD sold 490,168 NEVs in October 2026, its best month of the year, with battery-electric passenger cars (305,743, the first month over 300,000) and doubled exports carrying growth while plug-in hybrid sales fell 17.23% and China-market sales dropped 10.57% year-on-year. For a November buyer the actionable news is the renewal calendar: the second-generation Seagull on sale from 65,900 yuan, the third-generation Qin Plus launched October 27, the Seal 07 due November 5, and Denza N8 and Fang Cheng Bao Tai 9 launches later in the month.
