Toyota Is Still Second To BYD In Singapore Almost 14 Months In A Row - CleanTechnica

The article highlights BYD’s remarkable rise to become Singapore’s top-selling car brand, maintaining its lead over Toyota for nearly 14 consecutive months as of mid-2025. From January to May 2025, BYD sold 3,002 vehicles, capturing 20% of the market, compared to Toyota’s 2,050 units and Tesla’s 535 units. This marks a dramatic shift from just two years prior when BYD was a minor player behind established Japanese and European brands. In 2024, BYD achieved a historic milestone by selling 6,191 units—a 337% increase from 2023—securing a 14.4% market share and surpassing Toyota and Tesla.
