Dynasty Series: Song and Yuan Lead the Charge, Qin Holds Steady Above 20K

Within the Dynasty lineup, the Song series topped the entire brand with 44,069 units sold in April, bringing its year-to-date cumulative sales to 139,939 units and demonstrating dominant market presence.

Ocean Series: Four Models Break 20K, Seal Shows Strong Momentum

The Ocean series delivered equally eye-catching results, with four models exceeding 20,000 monthly units. The Seal led the Ocean lineup with 28,647 units in April and cumulative sales of 102,660 units year-to-date, emerging as a dark horse in BYD's sedan portfolio. The Sea Lion series posted 37,352 units for the month and 88,119 units cumulatively, showing rapid growth momentum.

In the compact car segment, the Seagull sold 27,204 units in April with a cumulative 98,175 units, while the Dolphin recorded 21,930 units for a cumulative 69,836 units — both models continuing to solidify their dominance in their respective segments. Additionally, the Song PLUS (sold through Ocean network channels) achieved 25,863 units in April with a cumulative 75,560 units, also joining the "20K+ club." The Destroyer 05 sold 2,521 units in April for a cumulative 20,707 units.

Premium Brand Denza: D9 Remains Steady, Z9 Gradually Scales Up

For the Denza brand, the benchmark MPV model D9 sold 5,397 units in April with a year-to-date cumulative of 16,750 units, maintaining its competitiveness in the premium MPV segment. The flagship sedan Z9 recorded 3,986 units in April with a cumulative 4,985 units, currently in a critical phase of production ramp-up and brand awareness building. The N7 managed only 70 units in April, potentially facing a product iteration or repositioning.

Outlook: BYD Continues to Lead the NEV Market on Multiple Fronts

April's sales data underscores the effectiveness of BYD's "Dynasty + Ocean" dual-network strategy. The eight models surpassing 20,000 monthly units span multiple segments from compact cars to mid-to-large SUVs. As competition in the new energy vehicle market intensifies in 2026, BYD continues to hold its position as China's top-selling NEV brand, powered by a comprehensive product matrix, continuous technological iteration, and economies of scale. As smart technologies are further integrated, BYD's investments in intelligent driving and AI-powered cockpit systems are set to become its core growth engine in the next phase.
