Ádám Rényi-Vámos augured a sharp increase in BYD sales: to over 7,000 in 2026 from 2,499 in 2025, putting the brand among the top 5-6 in Hungary.
He added that achieving those targets would depend on the pace of opening new dealerships. Rényi-Vámos said BYD was off to a strong start in 2026, with annualized sales climbing 85% in January-February.
Figures from Datahouse show new BYD sales in Hungary came to 464 in January-February, giving the brand 2.44% market share in the combined passenger car and light commercial vehicle segment.
Sales of battery electric BYD models climbed over 300, boosting the brand’s share in the segment to 18%.
Fleet sales accounted for 40-50% of the total. BYD expects to start test production at a plant in Szeged (SE Hungary) in Q1 2026. Serial production could begin in Q2.
