BYD has become the brand that sells the most plug-in cars in Spain during the month of October

Electric mobility remains marginal in our country, although sales of this type of vehicle are growing little by little. But these electrified vehicles are not only electric cars: hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars are also taken into account. And it seems that the latter are growing the most in the European market.

Many brands are offering cars with plug-in batteries, both 100% electric and plug-in hybrids. And among all of them, BYD has emerged as one of the most popular and has achieved the milestone of being the brand that sold the most plug-in vehicles during the month of October.

The total number of plug-in vehicles sold by BYD during the month of October was 2,807 units. This figure represents a 251% increase compared with the same month of 2024. This falls short if we look at the cumulative growth during the first ten months of 2025, which has been 498% compared with 2024. Very high growth that has allowed BYD to become one of the best-known brands in our market.

During 2025, a total of 19,421 plug-in vehicles were sold, representing a plug-in vehicle market share of 10.8%. If we continue with data and percentages, we find that BYD holds a 3% share of the private buyer segment and dominates the corporate channel with 3,020 units registered from January to October 2025.

It is all good news for the Chinese brand, which recently arrived in the Spanish market and has carved out a place for itself in the electrified vehicle market in Spain. Among the most popular BYD models are the DOLPHIN SURF, which has sold 2,797 units; the BYD DOLPHIN, with 1,428 units registered; and the ATTO 3 with 2,032 units.

In October, the BYD SEAL added 221 registrations, while the BYD SEAL U DM-i, a segment D plug-in hybrid SUV, managed to register 792 units. With this figure, it has already reached 7,543 units registered during 2025. In the segment A electric vehicle category, the BYD DOLPHIN SURF sold 847 units, representing an 84.9% share, for a total of 2,797 units registered in 2025. That is, a 60.7% share in its segment in 2025.

In October, BYD has already passed the milestone of selling 25,000 units in Spain since its arrival on the national market in 2023. This means that little by little, BYD has become a brand to watch and continues to grow in our country.
