BYD, the world’s largest New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, demonstrated its leadership in the automotive industry by achieving two top honors at the 2024 Best Cars of the Year Awards. The BYD SEAL and SEAL U DM-i were celebrated for their innovative design, commitment to sustainability, and competitive pricing—earning them the prestigious Best Car Line-Up of the Year award.
Furthermore, BYD’s ambitious expansion plans across Europe earned the company the title of Best Company of the Year. The all-electric BYD SEAL, launched in November 2023, has already garnered multiple industry awards. With the SEAL U DM-i, BYD’s first UK Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV), set to launch later this summer, the company continues to strengthen its market presence.
The awards were determined by a panel of experienced international judges from bestcarsoftheyear.com, including renowned car designers, engineers, journalists, and automotive industry leaders. Among them, Peter Lyon, Best COTY’s Tokyo Bureau Chief, remarked, “I particularly like the sedan version, not least because—at last—here’s a cool-looking EV saloon that stands out from the ho-hum crowd. It’s a car that does not break the bank.”
Mike Rutherford, founder of Best Cars of the Year and judging panel chairman, commented on BYD’s Best Company of the Year win, stating, “BYD is just about the most daringly ambitious manufacturer on the planet right now. I’ve never known a company so willing and able to take on and beat the world.”
With its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and global expansion, BYD continues to set industry standards for new energy vehicles and corporate excellence.
