BYD Previews Atto 2 EV, Sealion 7 at MIAS 2026

And sharing a milestone of two Guinness World Records!

Published

on

The Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2026 marks a significant shift in how we view the Philippine drive.

This year, BYD’s exhibit is their largest to date, moving away from purely technical explanations to show how technology lives inside our routines. It’s a showcase of a complete ecosystem — from city crossovers to rugged pickups — designed to prove that the electric transition is no longer a concept, but a proven reality for all Filipinos.

New companions for the modern routine

Among the highlights are two highly anticipated previews that feel like natural extensions of a modern lifestyle.

For instance, the BYD Atto 2 EV is a smart, stylish urban crossover built for the family. It successfully balances everyday utility with a chic, contemporary design.

Meanwhile, for those who seek a more performance-led experience, the BYD Sealion 7 merges a bold aesthetic with a sophisticated All-Wheel Drive system. It also features a tech-forward cabin that serves as a sanctuary on the road.

This shift toward electric mobility is backed by a journey that goes far beyond the showroom floor. Through the “Drive Electric. Love Pinas.” campaign, a convoy of 20 electrified vehicles recently traveled from Northern Luzon to Mindanao.

As a result of this 102-city stress test, BYD earned two Guinness World Records for the eMAX 7 and the Shark 6 DMO. These achievements demonstrate that these vehicles are truly ready for the complexities of the Philippine landscape.

A high-tech future on the road

Consequently, supporting this movement is the “Philippine EV Spine,” which is a network of over 160 charging locations nationwide. This network is built specifically to eliminate range anxiety and ensures that drivers stay powered and connected for the road ahead.

Adding a human resonance to this technological shift, Multimedia Star Alden Richards has joined the brand as its newest advocate. His role reflects a shared goal of inspiring Filipinos to embrace a high-tech and sustainable future.
