The exhibition, held at the Central Asia Expo Center (CAEx), featured everything from hatchbacks to mid-to-large SUVs and MPVs, with a strong emphasis on localized innovations tailored to the Uzbek market.

New Launches and Global Debuts

• Newly Market-Ready Models: The BYD SEAL 6 (Qin L), BYD SEALION 7 (Sealion 07 EV), and the locally adapted BYD SONG PLUS UzPride made their official debut in Uzbekistan.

Growth and Future Roadmap

Uzbekistan is a strategic market for BYD in Central Asia. The company recently celebrated the delivery of its 40,000th vehicle in the country and operates a growing network of 11 service centers under its ElectriCare brand, covering major regions from Tashkent to Termez.

Looking ahead, BYD plans to introduce its premium brand, DENZA, to Uzbekistan in 2026. This will further diversify its brand portfolio and cater to the premium vehicle segment.
