Attendees at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show strolled inside the main hall and were greeted by BYD’s Denza Z series convertible, a four-seater with a soft top that neatly folds up into the rear deck. Much of the automobile, including body panels, seats, and structural components, is made of carbon fiber, which helps to reduce weight and improve handling. When things get really fast, a tiny air vent on the bonnet helps to increase airflow and give the car a little extra downforce.

BYD’s latest model, an ultra compact electric vehicle named Racco, debuted at the Japan Mobility Show this week, fitting into Japan’s beloved kei car category. For years, domestic giants like Nissan and Honda have dominated urban streets with vehicles little bigger than a generous sneeze, accounting for one-third of all car sales.

Speed has always been the ultimate measure of automotive greatness, an expression of engineering bravado. On a crisp day at Germany’s ATP Papenburg high-speed oval, BYD’s Yangwang U9 Xtreme smashed the record, hitting 308.4 miles per hour to become the world’s fastest production car.

China loves ambition and BYD’s YangWang U8L has it in spades with size, strength and tech. This extended version of the YangWang U8 stretches the boundaries of what an electric SUV can be, combining massive power with a tech heavy interior and capabilities that are almost otherworldly. At around $181,000 it’s a premium product in China but it’s cheaper than Western luxury giants like the Bentley Bentayga or Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Why wait 30-minutes to 1-hour at a supercharger for 248-miles of range, when the BYD 1,000-kW ‘Megawatt’ charging station can do it in just 5-minutes? Vehicles built on the company’s ‘Super e-Platform,’ powered by blade batteries, will be compatible with these new chargers.

BYD’s YangWang U8 electric SUV is more than meets the eye, literally. Put simply, activating this mode prevents the vehicle from sinking for 30 minutes, but it doesn’t just shut everything off.

The Yangwang U9 is ready to take on hypercars, while the 2025 BYD Seal 06 GT aims to give the Volkswagen ID.3 a run for its money, literally. This electric hot hatch is based on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 Evo architecture, it will be available in single motor (214 hp) and dual motor (415 hp) configurations.

It’s no ALPHA Wolf, but the 2024 BYD Shark is a plug-in hybrid pickup truck with both power and range. Power comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with two electric motors, that generates a combined 430 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 62 mph in 5.7 seconds.
