BYD Türkiye unveils two new EVs at spectacular launch event in Istanbul

BYD Türkiye, part of Jameel Motors, welcomed more than 130 media representatives and 43 dealers to Swissotel The Bosphorus for an exclusive reveal of two new fully electric SUVs, marking another milestone in the brand’s rapid growth across the country.

The spotlight centered on the highly anticipated BYD Sealion 7, showcased in two configurations including a 160 kW version developed specifically for Türkiye and an exhilarating 390 kW all-wheel-drive performance edition. Both models reinforce BYD’s expanding Ocean Series lineup, bringing advanced technology, high efficiency, and premium comfort to the electric D-SUV segment.

In a surprise announcement during the event, attendees were also introduced to the all-new BYD Atto 2, a fully electric compact B-SUV designed for urban agility, comfort, and smart electric mobility.  The model will join dealership showrooms starting December.

The launch delivered strong media impact and significant interest from both customers and partners, driven by test drives, model showcases, and digital engagement. This momentum reflects the brand’s continued rise as Türkiye’s fastest-growing automotive brand of 2025.

İsmail Ergun, General Manager, BYD Türkiye, said:

“While interest in electric mobility in Turkey continues to grow every day, we are expanding our product range with two new models.  

The BYD SEALION 7, which will go on sale in November, combines rich equipment options, advanced technology, and sporty design lines with a spacious interior, just like all our models.  I am confident that, like our other BYD models, this vehicle will win the appreciation of Turkish consumers.”
