Chinese automaker BYD is entering the Canadian market, with plans to open 20 new dealerships within a year. The company is capitalizing on Canada's revised import rules, despite a 6.1% tariff on Chinese vehicles. BYD's compact SUVs, such as the Atto 3, are expected to be popular in Canada, where consumers favor practical and versatile vehicles. The Atto 3 EVO offers up to 510 km of WLTP range, faster charging, and available all-wheel drive. Canadians have been shifting away from traditional passenger cars, with compact SUVs selling over 553,000 units last year. BYD aims to help revitalize Canada's EV market, which saw a decline in Q1 2025.
