BYD continues to amaze with some truly amazing vehicles for sale in Italy. Let’s try to understand something more about it.
BYD is a name that constantly continues to surprise. The Colossus of the Chinese automobile is aiming higher and higher, with 2023 being without the slightest shadow of a doubt the golden year of the eastern company, which has come close to Tesla’s commercial results with millions of electric cars sold worldwide. All of this, until the Chinese brand’s amazing step forward, was unthinkable for practically anyone.
Now BYD’s growth it is increasingly evident to the point that the brand has also begun to take root in several European countries. Given this interest, the company in question is also focusing heavily on the Italian four-wheel market. With a pair of cars priced under 20,000 euros, he intends to purchase a vehicle with important performance and characterized by very attractive standard equipment. All in all, not a bad proposition. Let’s see what is coming to our market specifically.
BYD, what news: Italy at the center of attention: the details
In 2025 the company will introduce the BYD Seagull in Europe, a record-breaking car that he also wants to spread across the Old Continent. Second Bloomberg, this city car – which in China costs the equivalent of around 8 thousand euros – could be sold at a price of less than 20,000 euros. This, considering that we are talking about an electric car with important specifications, is truly an incredible change because it is not so simple for European and American companies to offer an electric at such a price.
Let’s think about Volskwagen, which seems to need a few more years to lower prices to the €20,000 mark. The Seagull has an autonomy of around 300 kilometers and has a length of less than 4 meters. Its possible opponents could be the Citroen e-C3 and the Renault 5 but also the Fiat Panda. The small Chinese city car, however, is not the manufacturer’s only ace up the sleeve. Even a second car with zero environmental impact and a market value of around €25,000 could end up on the Italian market and, more generally, the European market.
This car has yet to be revealed but is within the brand’s plans may be available before Seagul, so its presentation should not be delayed beyond the end of 2024. In short, BYD seems to want to make a difference in Europe too. After the construction of the first production plant in Hungary, the time for a second plant in the West should arrive in 2025 but where it is yet to be determined. Now, the Chinese manufacturer is aiming more than ever at the low-cost market, exploiting the potential of two cars ready to make a concrete difference on the market and focusing everything on its workhorses.
