BYD Tech Tour Heads to Davao: Two Stops, One Weekend to Explore and Test Drive

March 19, 2026

BYD is bringing the Tech Tour back to Davao with two major stops happening in the same weekend: one by the coastal road at the BYD Ironman 70.3 Davao Expo Tent, and another in the city at SM City Davao. Whether you’re dropping by between IRONMAN weekend activities or visiting the mall with family, both locations are designed to make it easy to see BYD vehicles up close, ask questions, and take a test drive.

With fuel costs still unpredictable, more drivers are looking at what their daily kilometers really cost them. BYD’s electrified lineup helps shift that math in a practical way, with lower day-to-day energy costs, fewer trips to the pump, and a driving experience that stays smooth and quiet even in heavy traffic. For many owners, the biggest difference isn’t a single feature - it’s how much easier it is to manage running costs week after week.

If you’ve been curious about electrified mobility but haven’t had the chance to experience it firsthand, this is a good weekend to do it. Walk in, explore the lineup, then drive the model you’re most curious about.

The Tech Tour at BYD Ironman 70.3 Davao

Starting Thursday, March 19 through Sunday, March 22, 2026, BYD sets up at the IRONMAN Expo Tent at the Bago Aplaya Esplanade Parking along Davao City Coastal Road, running daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The setting fits the weekend’s energy: active, outdoors, and built around movement, making it a natural place to see how BYD technology fits into real, everyday life.

Inside the tent, visitors can step into the vehicles, explore cabin features up close, and speak with BYD specialists who can walk through the details in a clear, practical way.

Featured vehicles on display

BYD Shark 6 DMO

The Shark 6 DMO is hard to miss. It’s a bold pickup with the kind of stance that draws you in, then keeps you there once you start asking what it’s capable of. Built with BYD’s DMO system, it’s designed to deliver confident strength while keeping the drive smooth and controlled, making it an ideal choice whether you’re in the city or heading out beyond it. By the Expo Tent, is a special version of the Shark 6 DMO, sporting IRONMAN decals to match the theme of the weekend’s festivities.

BYD Tang DM-i

For families, the Tang DM-i tends to be the one people keep coming back to. It’s a premium seven-seater SUV built on Super DM-i technology that focuses on space, comfort, and everyday versatility. The cabin feels composed and well-finished, and it’s the kind of vehicle that makes sense for households that want one SUV that can handle weekdays and long drives without feeling like a compromise.

BYD Sealion 6 DM-i

The Sealion 6 DM-i sits in that sweet spot for drivers who want comfort and confidence in one well-packaged SUV. With a refined cabin and BYD’s Super DM-i technology, it’s built to feel smooth and responsive in daily use, while still being ready for longer out-of-town drives.

Test drives will be available throughout the weekend for the entire BYD lineup, so visitors can sign up on-site and experience the vehicles on real roads. For many guests, that short drive is the moment they get to experience ride comfort, cabin quietness, visibility, and how the vehicle fits their normal routine.

BYD Tech Tour at SM City Davao

From Friday, March 20 to Sunday, March 22, 2026, the Tech Tour also runs at SM City Davao’s New Wing, giving mall-goers an easy walk-in setup that fits right into a regular weekend schedule. The Friday and Saturday schedule runs from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with Sunday operating from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

This stop brings a wider spread of vehicle types - SUVs, a pickup, and a full electric seven-seater - so visitors can compare what fits their lifestyle best.

Featured vehicles on display

The Shark 6 DMO or Sealion 6 DM-i, which are also on display at BYD Ironman 70.3 Davao Tech Tour, will also be there at SM City Davao. You’ll be able to see them and book test drives at SM City Davao’s New Wing. Other vehicles you’ll get to see are:

BYD Sealion 5 DM-i

The Sealion 5 DM-i is more compact and city-friendly, designed for everyday use. It’s easy to live with, comfortable inside, built on BYD’s Super DM-i system, and is loaded with smart features that make daily driving feel simpler.

BYD eMAX 7

The eMAX 7 brings a different kind of appeal. As a fully electric seven-seater MPV, it’s built around space and passenger comfort, while giving families a way to travel without relying on fuel. Quiet on the move and smooth in traffic, it’s the kind of vehicle that makes EV ownership feel easy and practical, especially during these times wherein fuel price hikes make daily commute costs uncertain.

Test drives of the full BYD lineup will be available at the SM City Davao Tech Tour as well. If you’re deciding between models, it helps to drive more than one. Even a short route can tell you how each vehicle accelerates, how quiet the cabin feels, and what kind of comfort it delivers.

Tech Tour Weekend Highlights

If you’ve visited a BYD Tech Tour before, you’ll recognize some familiar touches: small things that make the experience feel more welcoming and a lot less like a traditional showroom visit.

The BYD Café is part of the Tech Tour experience, giving visitors a comfortable place to take a break between walkarounds and test drives. It’s also where many guests end up having the more practical conversations like questions about daily use, charging, running costs, and which model fits their household best.

For those who are ready to take the next step, exclusive promos are available for customers who reserve on-site during the Tech Tour. These event-only offers are meant to reward visitors who make their decision at the venue, and they’re typically not extended outside the Tech Tour schedule.

And of course, the main highlight remains the same: test drives. It’s the quickest way to understand what BYD technology feels like in real driving conditions, and it’s the part of the experience that tends to turn curiosity into clarity.

Two Locations, One Invitation

Davao gets two different Tech Tour experiences this weekend: one coastal and event-driven at BYD Ironman 70.3 Davao, and one mall-based and easy to access at SM City Davao. The goal is the same for both: give visitors a simple way to explore BYD, understand the technology, and take a test drive without pressure.

If you’ve been thinking about your next vehicle, this is a good weekend to get hands-on. Step inside, ask the practical questions, and drive the model you’re most curious about.
