BYD Cars Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, capped 2025 with its most impressive performance to date, solidifying its position as the Philippines’ fastest-growing automotive brand. The company recorded an outstanding retail sales figure of 26,122 units, reflecting a remarkable 446% year-on-year growth. This explosive increase underscores BYD’s rapid ascendancy and cements its leadership in the burgeoning New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market in the country.
This remarkable momentum was driven by soaring consumer demand across BYD’s diverse and innovative lineup. The brand’s flagship model, the BYD Seagull, emerged as the top-selling vehicle with 4,608 units sold, particularly excelling in the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) segment. Meanwhile, the Sealion 6 DM-i led the brand’s hybrid lineup, exemplifying Filipino drivers’ growing preference for sustainable and eco-friendly mobility solutions.
“2025 marked a pivotal milestone in the broader adoption and acceptance of New Energy Vehicles in the Philippines,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “Our remarkable growth reflects our unwavering commitment to democratizing electrified mobility. It demonstrates that when innovation is paired with accessibility, the market responds enthusiastically. We remain dedicated to making electric vehicles attainable for Filipino households across the nation.”
Building on this momentum, BYD and ACMobility have officially renewed their distribution partnership for passenger cars in the Philippines, reaffirming a long-term commitment to the local market. Initiated in August 2023, this strategic alliance ensures a steady pipeline of cutting-edge technologies, supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of charging infrastructure and dedicated after-sales service. These foundational efforts paved the way for BYD’s rapid expansion nationwide. By the end of 2025, the brand successfully met its goal of establishing 79 operational dealerships across the country—a significant increase from just 25 locations at the close of 2024.
Looking ahead, both companies remain focused on expanding their dealership network and enhancing the overall ownership experience for Filipino consumers. The goal is to make sustainable mobility a practical and accessible choice for all.
“These milestones reflect our unwavering, long-term commitment to the Philippine market,” said Adam Hu, Country Head of BYD Philippines. “Together with ACMobility, we are dedicated to sustaining this momentum and making new energy vehicles the norm, not the exception, for Filipino drivers. Our vision is to lead the country into a cleaner, more sustainable automotive future.”
