Looking at changes in BYD’s passenger vehicle sales overall, the company saw solid growth in October. Sales were up 11.8%, going from 436,856 in October 2025 to 483,125 in October 2026. However, that overall growth hides the fact that the company’s BEV (full electric vehicle) sales soared while its PHEV (plugin hybrid electric vehicle) sales actually declined a bit.

Meanwhile, PHEV sales were on the other side of the coin. They dropped 19.6% year over year, going from 214,297 in October 2025 to 177,382 in October 2026. Month over month, they dropped 3.4%, down from 183,570.
