Top 10 Export Destinations for BYD Passenger Vehicles in the First Half of the Year | Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute

In January-June 2026, BYD passenger vehicle overseas exports continued to show a rapid growth trend, with export destinations exhibiting layout characteristics of "Latin America leading strongly, Europe breaking through at multiple points, and differentiated expansion in Oceania, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East." Brazil continues to firmly hold the position of the largest overseas market. Five European countries made it into the top ten export destinations, and overseas key markets such as Australia, Philippines, Thailand, UAE all achieved scaled output. Meanwhile, BYD fully leveraged the advantages of dual technology routes of pure electric and plug-in hybrid, flexibly configured products according to local consumer preferences and market environments, and the global penetration of overseas markets continued to advance.

According to Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute export database, the top ten export destinations for BYD passenger vehicles in January-June 2026 are as follows:

NO.1 Brazil, January-June 2026, exported 99,504 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Brazil, 95,182 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 194,686 vehicles.

NO.2 Australia, January-June 2026, exported 42,258 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Australia, 16,581 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 58,839 vehicles.

NO.3 Belgium, January-June 2026, exported 16,810 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Belgium, 27,038 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 43,848 vehicles.

NO.4 United Kingdom, January-June 2026, exported 11,201 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to United Kingdom, 27,853 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 39,054 vehicles.

NO.5 Germany, January-June 2026, exported 11,690 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Germany, 16,626 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 28,316 vehicles.

NO.6 Philippines, January-June 2026, exported 7,477 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Philippines, 18,512 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 25,989 vehicles.

NO.7 UAE, January-June 2026, exported 848 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to UAE, 17,298 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 18,146 vehicles.

NO.8 Spain, January-June 2026, exported 6,879 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Spain, 10,730 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 17,609 vehicles.

NO.9 Slovenia, January-June 2026, exported 7,933 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Slovenia, 8,148 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 16,081 vehicles.

NO.10 Thailand, January-June 2026, exported 14,307 Battery Electric Passenger Vehicles to Thailand, 14 Plug-in Hybrid Passenger Vehicles, totaling 14,321 vehicles.

According to Gasgoo Automotive Research Institute export database, in January-June 2026, BYD passenger vehicle overseas exports showed development characteristics of "Brazil leading by a wide margin, multiple European countries breaking through, and significant differentiation in power consumption preferences across regions".

Brazil ranked first with a stable 194,686 vehicles. The export volumes of pure electric (99,504) and plug-in hybrid (95,182) were close, indicating that the market maintained strong demand for BYD's two major technology routes. It is worth noting that Brazil's import policy is tightening, and the future export mode may transition from complete vehicle export to localized production.

Multiple countries in Europe occupied several seats on the list, with Belgium, UK, Germany, Spain, and Slovenia all ranking in the top ten. Among them, Belgium (62% PHEV share) and UK (71% PHEV share) are dominated by PHEV models; Germany has a balanced distribution of BEV and PHEV; Spain is roughly balanced between the two power forms; Slovenia is also relatively balanced. This reflects that BYD is flexibly adjusting its product structure according to market demand in different countries and continuously deepening its European layout.

The demand differences in Oceania, Southeast Asia, and Middle East markets are further amplified. Australia ranked second with an export volume of 58,839 vehicles, with the market dominated by BEV models; Thailand's export volume came almost entirely from BEVs, with PHEV models accounting for a negligible proportion; the UAE market highly relied on PHEV products; Philippines also favored PHEV models more among consumers. Overall, BYD did not adopt a single technology route for overseas expansion, but instead deployed products adapted to local conditions according to energy policies and consumption habits of different countries.
