BYD and its premium brand DENZA took centre stage as the largest exhibitors, showcasing a suite of innovations dubbed the future of mobility.
BYD entered 2025 at full throttle, following a record-breaking 2024. Not only did the automaker surpass 514,800 new energy vehicle (NEV) sales globally by December, but it also achieved a historic milestone as the first automaker to produce 10 million NEVs worldwide.
Demonstrating a rapid ascent, BYD reached the second set of 5 million NEVs in just 15 months. In Singapore alone, BYD led the market by registering 5,068 vehicles in 2024.
At the 2025 Singapore Motorshow, among the stellar lineup were two showstoppers: the YangWang U9 and the Denza D9.
The YangWang U9 made its first appearance in Singapore. Equipped with the groundbreaking e4 platform, the U9 boasts four independent electric motors delivering 1,300 horsepower and 1,680 Nm of torque. It rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.36 seconds.
Its DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System, with features that allow the car to leap and “dance,” left spectators in awe.
Meanwhile, the Denza D9, celebrated as the “Best Electric MPV of the Year” by multiple publications (including us!), embodies versatility and sophistication. Available in Arctic White, Whale Sea Blue, Harbour Grey, and Cosmos Black, with luxe interiors in Brown or Beige, the Denza D9 caters to families and executives alike.
Attendees can experience the Elite FWD variant at $290,888 or the Grandeur AWD variant at $338,388 (inclusive of Motorshow discounts and COE rebates).
BYD’s display also featured the eagerly awaited BYD Sealion 7. As the star of BYD’s electric SUV lineup, the Sealion 7 highlights the automaker’s commitment to accessibility and style for eco-conscious drivers.
Beyond automotive ingenuity, the BYD booth offered interactive activities and exclusive deals, with attendees vying for prizes like DENZA x Tocco Toscano accessories and a $10,000 travel voucher. Fans were also treated to an appearance by Li Nanxing, Denza’s official car ambassador, who delighted the crowd with a meet-and-greet session.
James Ng, Managing Director of BYD Singapore and Philippines, encapsulated the brand’s vision: “These models are just the beginning of our journey to revolutionise the automotive industry.”
