According to recent joint data released by the Philippine Automobile Manufacturers Association (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA), in June 2026, Tesla became the best-selling pure electric vehicle brand in the Philippines.
Industry-leading sales data reflects the genuine recognition of Filipino owners towards the product. Blogger @Muskonomy once shared the first-month driving experience of a Filipino Model 3 owner: Charging costs were only 1/6 of the previous gasoline car, stating outright "I never want to switch back to a gasoline car again".
In many countries and regions of the Southeast Asian market, Tesla has seen sales growth. Tesla shared on its official overseas platforms that Tesla achieved a new monthly sales high in the Singapore market in June, with Model Y surpassing gasoline vehicles to become the best-selling SUV model across all categories locally.
Car owner @Coco Silly Fish from Singapore traded their family's gasoline car for a Tesla. He stated that after driving a Tesla, the fatigue from driving in rush hour traffic during morning and evening peaks was less, and there was no anxiety about fuel consumption like when driving a gasoline car. "It is more cost-effective than public transport!"

車型概覽
比亞迪Atto 2 值唔值得睇，第一步唔係望牌子或者外形，而係睇佢能唔能夠配合你嘅香港日常。 呢篇會集中講版本取捨，幫你用買家角度篩走唔適合嘅選擇。 近期市場討論到「BYD ATTO 2登陸香港！15.5萬起有交易，刀片電池夠晒安全」，代表呢類車型仍然有一定關注度。
零售價 HK$ 155,000、完稅價 HK$ 228,300 令預算位置更清楚，買家可以先估算月供、保險、泊車同日常開支。
購車價格指南
比亞迪Atto 2 嘅購車預算可以先由 零售價 HK$ 155,000、完稅價 HK$ 228,300 開始計。香港買車唔只係睇車價，月供、保險、牌費、泊車同能源成本都會影響每月壓力。
如果有幾個版本可揀，可以先將 2025 410km 高級版（HK$ 228,300） 放喺同一張清單。日常通勤重視舒適同易用，家庭買家就要優先睇後排、尾箱同安全配置。
核心規格重點
睇 比亞迪Atto 2 嘅規格，重點唔係背數字，而係理解佢喺香港用車場景會帶嚟咩分別。
51.13 kWh 嘅電池容量，真正意義係可以幫你估算一星期通勤同周末出車要唔要中途補電。 130 kW、290 N·m 嘅輸出，令高速併線同短距離超車更有信心。 車長 4310 mm、車闊 1830 mm、車高 1675 mm、軸距 2620 mm 可以幫你預判商場停車場、屋苑車位同後排腿部空間。 固定齒比、前置前駆 會影響起步順滑度、濕地穩定感同長途巡航性格。
優缺點分析
比亞迪Atto 2 嘅優點唔需要講到天花龍鳳，真正有價值係佢能唔能夠令日常用車更省心：預算位置清楚，方便同同級車直接比較、電池同續航資訊有助安排通勤同補電、動力輸出對高速同上斜更有底氣。
要留意嘅係，要先確認屋苑、公司或常去商場嘅充電條件、香港停車場同窄路使用要留意車身闊度。呢啲唔一定係缺點，但係落訂前應該先諗清楚。
買家常見問題
買 比亞迪Atto 2 之前，真正要問嘅唔係單一規格，而係佢可唔可以融入你每日嘅生活節奏。
常見疑問係「比亞迪 Atto 2 香港落地價大約係幾多？」簡單講，比亞迪 Atto 2 香港落地價約200,000–260,000 港元，視版本而定。 放到實際用車，就係要睇佢對通勤、泊車、家庭乘坐同長期成本有幾大幫助。
同級對比內容
將 比亞迪Atto 2 放入同級車清單時，唔建議只用外形或者品牌光環決定。比較順序可以係：先用 零售價 HK$ 155,000、完稅價 HK$ 228,300 鎖定預算圈、再睇動力係咪足夠應付高速併線同滿載、再比較能源成本同補能便利、最後睇車身大小、座位同尾箱是否適合家人。
咁樣篩選會貼近香港買家真實生活：平日塞車、商場泊車、周末去新界、甚至一家人出入，先係一部車每日要面對嘅考驗。
用車全周期指南
擁有 比亞迪Atto 2 最重要係先諗清楚充電節奏。屋苑、公司或者常去商場只要有穩定充電選項，電動化用車就會容易相處好多。
如果你主要喺市區行，視野、低速順滑度同泊車輔助會好影響心情；如果經常行高速或跨區，座椅舒適度、隔音同動力從容感會更重要。
兄弟姐妹們，今日講一個出海嘅大新聞——唔係賣車，係賣「司機」。6 月 2 號，文遠知行同 Uber 聯合宣佈咗一件事：計劃喺西班牙馬德里推出該國首個商業化 Robotaxi 試點服務。意思就係：西班牙人好快就可以用 Uber 叫到一台冇司機嘅出租車。呢次係文遠知行同 Uber 第一次一齊進入歐洲市場。馬德里亦成為文遠知行 Robotaxi 駛入嘅全球第十二個城市。
官方消息話，喺馬德里自治區政府嘅支持下，呢項服務今年內就會正式啟動。到嗰陣，馬德里嘅朋友哋打開 Uber App，就有一鍵呼叫文遠知行嘅 Robotaxi。同叫普通網約車一樣，分別係嚟嘅車冇駕駛員——至少喺初期，仲係有分別嘅。運營初期，車入面會配備經過專業培訓嘅安全員，終究係剛上線，穩妥第一。
文遠知行呢間公司，你可能聽過，也可能冇聽過。簡單介紹下：2017 年成立，一直埋頭搞 Robotaxi 技術研發同商業化。而家佢嘅 Robotaxi 已經覆蓋咗廣州、北京、新加坡、阿布達比、迪拜、利雅得、蘇黎世……加埋而家嘅馬德里，一共 12 個城市。西班牙亦係文遠知行進入嘅第五個歐洲市場——之前已經入咗瑞士、法國、比利時、斯洛伐克。按照文遠知行同 Uber 喺 2025 年 5 月達成嘅規劃，佢哋要喺五年內新增 15 個國際城市部署 Robotaxi 服務，全球部署數萬輛 Robotaxi。隨著馬德里落地，目前已經完成咗 4 個城市嘅佈局，仲有 11 個會喺 2030 年前陸續覆蓋。
講真嘅，中國自動駕駛公司出海唔係頭一回，但中國技術 + 全球出行平台 + 歐洲市場呢個組合，定係好有意思。馬德里係歐洲最具商業潛力嘅 Robotaxi 市場之一，人口多、出行需求大，當地政策都好友善。喺呢個市場站穩腳根，對文遠知行嚟講係個唔小嘅里程碑。對 Uber 嚟講，引進 Robotaxi 都係為咗降低成本——終究司機唔使發人工。對馬德里市民嚟講，以後打車可能更平。
Have you ever seen the roads in India?
I've seen them online.
The scene is usually like this: a sedan blocked behind a cow, motorcycles running wild nearby, even milk tea vendors nearby, so "clean and hygienic".
However, in a place where many feel physically uncomfortable after watching, Toyota, Suzuki, Honda and other Japanese car companies decided to bet on India.
According to the Indian "Brand Quality Foundation" website, the three car companies will invest nearly $11 billion to build factories, increase capacity, and develop exports in India.
Some netizens commented: Did the three Japanese car companies have too much money?
In fact, they didn't have endless money to spend, nor were they bewildered by Indian curry. These Japanese car executives are much clearer than us.
Current Japanese car revenue and market share are declining. Raw material costs are soaring. Looking at the world map, finding a market that can accommodate capacity, expand share, and has gentle competition is not easy.
So, it wasn't that Japanese car companies chose India, but because they had no choice.
The Pain of Japanese Car Companies
Past Japanese cars were truly the envy of others.
Ask old drivers who drove Japanese cars over ten years ago, talking about Japanese cars, almost no one doesn't give a thumbs up, cheap price, fuel saving, durable...
Even many Japanese cars needed to be bought at a markup, but who would think this iron fortress would be beaten out of sight in a few short years.
With the wave of new energy vehicles coming, electrification and intelligence became the goal for many domestic car companies to "leapfrog". Relying on China's strong new energy vehicle industry chain advantages and car companies' own persistence on R&D and technology, Chinese independent brands quickly achieved "leapfrogging".
Domestic cars once criticized are now becoming more and more common on the roads, even surpassing joint ventures in share.
According to CPCA data, in April 2026, the share of independent brands reached as high as 62.5%, far exceeding Japan's 13.1%.
You need to know, the Chinese car market is the largest car market in the world. Losing speed in the Chinese market is like losing a huge piece of cake.
Meanwhile, the main theme of the Chinese market in recent years is still price wars. Racing on configuration, price, and service has become a normal state, which also had a huge impact on Japanese cars' profits.
Apart from China, Japanese cars are also not doing well in the US.
On January 20, 2025, Trump swore in as the 47th US President, starting a series of chaotic operations, including imposing additional car tariffs in the name of national security, causing the tariff rate for imported Japanese cars to reach as high as 27.5% at one point. Although it decreased later, it was still far higher than the initial tax rate.
This operation directly led to a tariff loss of over 2 trillion yen for seven Japanese car companies in fiscal year 2025.
Looking at Japan itself, it is actually not easy either.
Middle East geopolitical conflicts blocked shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, transportation costs and raw material costs soared, Japanese car companies also had to suffer in silence.
Executives looking at the reports, their backs went cold, only to find a new growth curve.
So, Japanese car companies didn't fall in love with India, there was nowhere else to go.
Deep Thought on Choosing India
So, what magic does India have, to make Japanese car companies invest heavily?
The first advantage is big. In 2025, the Indian car market achieved 5.517 million new car sales, up 6% year-on-year, breaking the historical record, ranking as the third largest car market in the world, exceeding Japan for four consecutive years, second only to China and the United States.
The value of this doesn't need me to say much. India achieved this result mainly because India has been promoting tax reduction policies to promote consumption, which led to a significant increase in domestic consumption willingness.
The second advantage is close, meaning it is close to places where Japanese cars sell well, such as Africa.
So, India for Japanese car companies is more like a convenience store built in the center of a crossroad. You don't need to ship cars to eight countries separately, just build well at this stop in India, then unload ship by ship, and you can save a lot of costs.
The Nikkei also believes that India is expected to become its global car supply center.
The third advantage is stability. You know, Japanese cars' advantage is fuel cars, after all, the three major components of engines, gearboxes, and chassis, they have played for many years, technology accumulation is number one in the world.
But the Chinese car market has fully promoted electrification and intelligence development, leading to Japanese cars' advantage becoming weaker and weaker, impossible to play out. But India is different, it has the characteristics of few charging piles and slow electrification process. Indian old people buying cars still look for cheap, fuel saving, easy to fix, and these three points are exactly Japanese cars' old trade.
Especially Suzuki, always been India's car market evergreen, almost always sitting on the best-selling model throne, reputation of being worry-free, better than any advertisement.
So, Japanese car companies' vigorous layout of the Indian market is obviously carefully considered.
But, is the Indian market really that easy to mix?
The Hard-to-Bite Indian Market
Of course, India is not perfect like a hot commodity, its disadvantages are as obvious as its advantages, and every one is enough for Japanese car companies to face a hard time.
First talk about electrification. Yes, right now India has few charging piles and electric cars don't sell well, it is indeed a shelter for Japanese fuel cars. But you have to think, how long can this "shelter" avoid?
India previously shouted the slogan of 30% of new cars being electric vehicles by 2030. Although it sounds like bragging, but can't help but they really give subsidies, really build charging stations.
Imagine, what if one day India suddenly wakes up, starts vigorously promoting electrification, doing infrastructure, charging piles popping out like mushrooms after rain, then Japanese cars will be dumbfounded?
Isn't this a version of the Thai market?
Back then Japanese cars in Thailand won easily. The entire Southeast Asian market was called Japanese cars' backyard. Result Thailand took the lead in promoting electrification. Chinese electric vehicles came in, directly became a hot commodity. Look at Japanese cars again, share in Thailand falling down rapidly.
If India accelerates electrification, history will likely repeat, and this time, Japanese cars don't even have a place to flee, how to prevent will become the first problem for Japanese car companies.
Next talk about policy. India's policy is like a pot of curry, you never know if you will eat chicken or potato next time.
This magical country, today low tariff encourages building factories, tomorrow may fine you a huge amount. What's more annoying is mandatory joint venture. Foreign car companies want to sell cars in India, have to find local partners to partner up. When your factory is built, supply chain is done, India directly backstabs you. At that time whether adding money or withdrawing capital, what you get is heartache.
So you see, this market like India is like a mango that looks very sweet, bite the first mouth it's okay, chew two more mouths hit the hard core.
Japanese cars now is calculating, while the core hasn't bit the tooth, hurry up to nibble a few more mouths, but the core will bite sooner or later, just don't know which day.
Epilogue
Japanese cars this trip to India, not go for tourism, is go to make a living.
Chinese and Southeast Asian dining tables are more crowded, production and transportation costs have risen. Looking around the world, only this pot in India is still steaming, even if what is boiling inside is curry-flavored stones, have to bite hard and chew down.
Japanese car companies want to expand market, India wants to pull economy, solve employment, both sides have their own thoughts.
As for the ending is Japanese cars in India regain their glory, or like past competitors shamefully walk away, then is not known.
But no matter how, this play just started, we slowly watch is okay.
Anyway India's story, never bored.
