City West Country moves BYD to larger Exeter showroom

City West Country has moved its BYD franchise into a bigger showroom location after outgrowing its previous showroom due to growth with the Chinese brand.

The dealer group, which has four locations across the South West with BYD, opened its Exeter location two years ago.

Following BYD Exeter’s launch in 2023, BYD Plymouth, BYD Taunton and BYD Truro opened in 2024, allowing for dedicated service across all points of the South West.

The start of 2025 saw BYD Plymouth also moving to a bigger showroom to continue boosting their success, with BYD Exeter now following to this new Hennock Road Central location.

BYD shattered its UK sales record, selling an impressive 9,271 cars in the first quarter of 2025.

The achievement not only marks BYD UK’s most successful quarter since it launched passenger cars in March 2023, but also surpasses the company’s total sales for the entirety of 2024.

The sales surge has propelled BYD’s UK market share to 1.6%, a significant leap from 0.45% in 2024.

In March alone, the company achieved a market share of 1.8%, exactly two years after introducing its passenger vehicles to the UK.

BYD has recently strengthened its leadership team as it continues to grow its UK market, by targeting delivering a best-in-class experience for customers and retail partners.
