BYD Car Rental

Try a BYD before you buy with Sixt Australia

BYD is a car brand of Chinese origin that has been available for rent in Australia exclusively with Sixt since 2022. Discover the BYD models at SIXT, 100% electric vehicles of a new kind, equipped with superior technology. But before we get to that, let's take a look at who is behind BYD.

BYD: the electric brand

Have you ever heard of BYD? By the way, before you ask yourself the question: the brand is pronounced "Be why de" because BYD is the abbreviation for "Build Your Dreams", which means "Realize your dreams" in German. It is very likely that this name does not mean anything to you, but the Chinese car brand BYD is an indispensable player in electric mobility. It is one of the world's leading companies in the field of electric vehicles and ranks directly behind Tesla! So why is it so unknown in this country? Simply because the brand initially developed in its home market of China.

Its founding was not just yesterday, the company was founded in 1995. It initially specialized in the production of batteries. In 2003, it diversified into the automotive industry after acquiring a Chinese automotive company. A little "fun fact": The Chinese brand launched its first electric car in 2008, ahead of Tesla, which only launched in 2012...

After conquering the Chinese market, BYD is now coming to Europe, especially France, one of the brand's main target markets. In fact, the European market is one of the most active and promising in terms of electromobility. Already present in France with electric buses and coaches, the Chinese giant is now delighting with its 100% electric models.

Innovative Connectivity

Similar to a Tesla Model 3, the BYD Atto 3 has a large display in the middle of the dashboard. This display, which runs on an Android operating system, has a special feature: it can be electrically rotated from a horizontal position to a vertical position at the touch of a button. Depending on the orientation required, not only all information about the vehicle is shown on the display, but also the navigation and map. And to make parking easy, the 360-degree camera shows all angles around the vehicle on the large display - even in a 3D perspective.

Space for your luggage

Even if the BYD Atto 3 doesn't look like a large vehicle at first glance, you can expect plenty of storage space. Thanks to the low-mounted battery and the lack of an exhaust, the entire trunk can be used, leaving space for your luggage. And it wouldn't be a BYD Atto 3 if the designers didn't come up with something special: the door pockets are secured with red rubber bands, each of which emits a different sound when you pull on them like a guitar string.
