Swansway has opened the doors to two new BYD dealerships in Cheshire.

Awards were presented to dealers, manufacturers and suppliers at the National Franchised Dealers Association spring ball this weekend.

BYD has outlined ambitious plans for 2024 and plans to move fast to deliver an electric vehicle (EV) in every segment of the UK market.

The BYD Dolphin medium family hatchback is the third electric car launched in the UK by the Chinese carmaker in six months, and with a starting price of £26,195 it offers electric motoring for about the same cost as a petrol Vauxhall Astra.

Problems with the perception of Chinese cars remain a barrier to them gaining traction in the European market, new research suggests.
