MANILA, PHILIPPINES – BYD Cars Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, officially opened its biggest exhibit to date at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2026. Through the BYD exhibit, the brand showcases its vision for an electrified and connected Philippines through a massive display of its full New Energy Vehicle (NEV) lineup and the introduction of two new vehicles.
Attendees can get up close and personal with the brand's diverse portfolio, from its Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), the BYD Seagull, Atto 3, eMAX 7, and Tang EV to its Super DM-i and DMO line up, the BYD Seal 5 DM-i, Sealion 5 DM-i, Sealion 6 DM-i, Tang DM-i, eMAX 9 DM-i and the Shark 6 DMO.
The BYD exhibit showcases a special preview of two highly anticipated models: the BYD Atto 2 EV and BYD Sealion 7 prior to their official launch later this year.
The BYD Atto 2 EV is a smart and stylish urban electric crossover. Perfectly sized for the modern Filipino family, the Atto 2 EV is designed to balance everyday utility with a chic, contemporary design.
The BYD Sealion 7 is a premium, performance-led electric SUV designed to thrill. It combines a bold, aerodynamic aesthetic with a sophisticated All-Wheel Drive system, offering a glimpse into the high-performance capabilities of the brand. Inside, the Sealion 7 merges luxury with intelligence, featuring a tech-forward cabin and the latest suite of driver-assistance systems, making it a formidable contender in the premium EV segment. Customers can reserve at MIAS or in all BYD dealerships for a P50,000 reservation fee nationwide starting April 9. Together, these two models showcase BYD’s strategy of offering a perfect blend of high-performance engineering and practical, tech-driven mobility for a wider range of drivers.
“Our participation in the Manila International Auto Show is the ultimate display of BYD’s relentless innovation. With the showcase of the full NEV line up, we are proving that there is a BYD for every Filipino. We are going beyond just selling cars, we are leading the movement that transforms how the country moves,” says Bob Palanca, Managing Director, BYD Cars Philippines.
Beyond the vehicles, BYD demonstrates how the electric transition is made possible through ACMobility’s integrated charging infrastructure. A dedicated hub display within the booth highlights the nationwide charging network and end-to-end support services that ensure BYD owners stay powered, connected, and ready for the road ahead.
“We have continuously been building the ecosystem that makes electric travel a reality for every Filipino. By expanding the Philippine EV Spine, our nationwide network of over 160 charging locations and counting, we are eliminating range anxiety and fortifying the country’s readiness for EV adoption alongside BYD’s extensive lineup,” says Jaime Alfonso Zobel De Ayala, CEO of ACMobility.
As a testament to the reliability and readiness of its line up, BYD announced the culmination of the nationwide journey that marks the official public launch of the “Drive Electric. Love Pinas.” campaign. In partnership with ACMobility and the Department of Tourism, lead navigator, Wil Dasovich completed a drive across the country, from the tip of Northern Luzon to the South of Mindanao. The convoy, made up of 20 electrified vehicles, was supported by the growing Philippine EV Spine network and BYD’s 79 dealers nationwide. The cross-country journey served as the ultimate stress test for BYD’s electrified technology from EV to Super DM-i, and became proof that electric travel is not just a concept, but is now a proven reality for all Filipinos.
Part of the expedition resulted in two Guinness World Records for the Most cities visited in a continuous journey by an EV and the Most cities visited in a continuous journey by a PHEV. The award was given after the BYD eMAX 7 and the BYD Shark 6 DMO visited 102 cities across the Philippines.
Adding to the excitement, BYD officially introduced Multimedia Star Alden Richards as the newest face of the brand. As an advocate for technology and innovation, Alden’s partnership with BYD signifies a shared goal of inspiring Filipinos to embrace a more electrified, high-tech and sustainable future on the road.
