Chinese automotive giant BYD could launch its first electrified bakkie for the global market and an affordable hybrid plug-in sedan to compete with the Toyota Corolla in South Africa.

Although Australia has a larger car market than South Africa, BYD is likely keenly aware of local car buyers’ unquenchable thirst for utility-type vehicles. This model is poised to compete with the likes of the Toyota Corolla hybrid and has been described as a “youthful” version of the BYD Qin Plus. When the battery is charged, the hybrid can achieve an average consumption of 21.7 kilometres on a litre, or roughly 4.6ℓ/100km.The company is highly reputed for its advanced battery technology, which is also used by its main rival — Tesla.
