BYD’s vehicle sales in the Philippines exceed its previous full-year 2025 total, with four months remaining in 2026. BYD Cars Philippines reports selling 28,399 units from January through August, already higher than the 26,122 units sold for the entirety of 2025.
Both outlets attribute the stronger performance to growing demand for electric vehicles, with one source linking this to higher fuel prices. Top Gear also reports the sales figure represents a 99% year-on-year increase, underscoring the rapid pace of growth compared with the same period in the prior year. While the sources agree on the reported volumes and the year-on-year jump, they place emphasis slightly differently: Inquirer.net highlights fuel-price pressures as a driver, while Top Gear focuses more directly on the sales milestone and the growth rate.
