TOKYOJune 25 (News On Japan) – China’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is about to introduce its first sedan-type electric sedan to the Japanese market.
BYD Auto Japan President Atsuki Tofukuji said: “With the launch of the BYD SEAL, we aim to become the largest importer of electric vehicles in Japan.”
The BYD SEAL, classified as a sports sedan, has already sold more than 200,000 units worldwide.
BYD has previously introduced SUVs and compact cars in Japan, and with this addition they will offer three different types of vehicles.
The new model has a larger battery than its predecessors, allowing it to travel approximately 600 kilometers on a single charge.
Priced from 5.28 million yen, it is about 20% cheaper than comparable models from US manufacturers.
Sales are expected to begin around the end of July, with subsidies available to further reduce costs.
