Chinese EV maker BYD has surpassed Toyota as Singapore’s top-selling car brand in 2025, selling 3,002 vehicles (20% market share) in the first four months, per LTA data. BYD’s rise, from just three cars sold in 2020 to 6,191 in 2024, is driven by competitive pricing and positive perceptions of Chinese technology. Owners praise models like the Atto 3 and M6 for affordability and features like sunroofs and ventilated seats, often 20% cheaper than comparable ICE vehicles. Experts attribute BYD’s success to economies of scale, making it an accessible, mass-market EV, unlike Tesla’s minimalist, tech-focused appeal.
