According to the latest figures released by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the total number of new car registrations in Singapore for the first six months of 2025 stood at 23,957 units. BYD’s 19.5 percent share marks a significant rise from the 13.9 percent recorded in the same period of 2024, underscoring its rapidly growing influence in the local automotive market.


Following BYD, Toyota and Lexus secured second place with 3,461 registrations (14.4 percent), while BMW claimed third spot with 2,664 units (11.1 percent). Mercedes-Benz followed closely in fourth with 2,537 registrations (10.6 percent), and Honda rounded out the top five with 2,268 units (9.5 percent). Meanwhile, American electric vehicle rival Tesla recorded 1,419 units within the same period.


Why BYD Leads Singapore’s Automotive Market

BYD’s continued success can be attributed to several key factors:

  • Cost-Effective EV Models – With strong representation in COE Category A, BYD offers competitive pricing that appeals to Singaporean buyers.

  • Government EV Rebates – Incentives from Singapore’s Green Vehicle Rebate Scheme have boosted demand for BYD’s all-electric cars.

  • Extensive Dealer Network – Multiple retail outlets across the island have made BYD vehicles more accessible to customers.

  • Wide Model Line-Up – From compact superminis to spacious SUVs, BYD caters to different consumer needs.

  • Introduction of Hybrid Options – The newly launched BYD Sealion 6 DM-i hybrid adds variety for buyers who seek both efficiency and flexibility.

With its strong momentum, BYD is expected to remain a dominant force in Singapore’s car market throughout 2025, further solidifying its reputation as a leader in the electric vehicle sector.
