Chinese manufacturer BYD will gain four new stores in Pernambuco. The information comes from Grupo Parvi, which manages BYD units in the state and plans to expand the brand throughout the Northeast region. The next stores in Pernambuco will be in the cities of Recife (Afogados), Jaboatão dos Guararapes (Piedade), Olinda and Caruaru. There is no opening date yet, but the four units are scheduled for this first semester. In the Northeast, BYD has three other branches in Mossoró (RN), Fortaleza (CE) and Teresina (PI), under the administration of the Carmais Group.
A survey by Webmotors, the main automotive marketplace in Brazil, showed that new BYD vehicles were the most searched for on the platform in 2023. The survey, released in January, reveals searches for electric cars and also points to Porsche as the favorite for pre-owned cars . From first to third place were the Dolphin, Yuan Plus and Han models, respectively; all from BYD.
