JAKARTA BYD continues to show its big ambition in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles in the country. Each model that is released always gets attention, and the proceeds from its sales also reflect market enthusiasm.

Throughout January 2024 to October 2025, BYD recorded sales of more than 51,700 units, driven by strong performance in various segments. BYD M6 became the family's favorite electricity MPV with sales of more than 15,700 units, followed by Sealion 7 which penetrated 7,500 units in just a matter of months since its launch.

The ATTO 1 compact model also appeared phenomenal with a contribution of more than 8,400 units. While its first three models "BYD Seal, ATTO 3, and Dolphin" became the initial foundation for market penetration, recording more than 5,700 units, 5,400 units, and 1,700 units, respectively.

From the premium line, DENZA D9 accounts for more than 6,700 units, while BYD e6 in the commercial segment reaches more than 600 units, signaling the wider use of electric vehicles in various mobility needs.

President Director of PT BYD Motor Indonesia, Eagle Zhao, emphasized that since the beginning BYD came with a commitment to move with the community, government, and stakeholders in accelerating the transition period to environmentally friendly mobility.

We are not just bringing products, but carrying a vision for a cleaner and better future. Every step we take must have a broad impact, ranging from increasing the choice of electric vehicles to strengthening its supporting ecosystem," he said in an official statement, Wednesday, November 26.

In addition to presenting products, BYD is actively building the foundation of the electric mobility ecosystem in Indonesia, starting from public education to expanding service networks.

The big momentum began in January 2024 when BYD introduced its first three models: Seal, ATTO 3, and Dolphin. All three carry BYD-type technologies such as Blade Battery and e-Platform 3.0, which prioritize safety, efficiency, and comfort.

BYD Seal comes as a performance icon with aerodynamic design and high stability.

ATTO 3 offers cabin flexibility, complete safety features, and efficiency for modern family needs.

Dolphin is an urban mobility solution with low operational costs and solid safety features.

"Through innovation, education, and collaboration, we will continue to open access to safe, efficient, and easily accessible mobility by all Indonesian people," Zhao added.

The three models are not just opening products, but a strategic foothold for BYD to expand its EV portfolio which is increasingly relevant to the needs of the community. With consistent long-term steps, BYD emphasized its position as one of the main players in shaping the future of sustainable mobility in Indonesia.
