BYD NZ dealer network announced

With the BYD Atto 3 due soon, BYD New Zealand has announced the first phase of its full sales and service network, which sees an initial six dealerships covering five main cities, to launch the brand.

BYD will be represented in Auckland by Andrew Simms in Newmarket – in a stand-alone showroom in the heart of Broadway. A second Andrew Simms showroom in Botany will service Auckland’s East and Southern areas.

Hamilton will be served by a showroom built at Te Rapa by Ebbett BYD Hamilton, while BYD Tauranga will represent the brand in the Bay of Plenty with a stand-alone dealership under construction on 3rd Ave.

The lower North Island sees Johnston Ebbett carrying the BYD brand in Wellington City with its Taranaki Street showroom, while for the Upper South Island, Euromarque BYD in Central Christchurch is the nominated dealership.

A further showroom in Dunedin is planned to open later this year to service the Otago region.

Phase two will see further growth expansion of the BYD dealer network in line with an increased BYD product offering, including representation in Invercargill, Central Otago and Nelson in the South Island, along with Palmerston North, Hawke’s Bay, Whangarei and a third dealership in Auckland for the north.

“BYD’s arrival in New Zealand is monumental,” says BYD NZ manager Warren Willmot who joins us in a live stream on Thursday June 23.

“These are extraordinary vehicles and deserve an excellent dealer network to sell to and to service BYD customers. We have partnered with carefully selected dealers who set a high standard of customer service so that BYD customers can be assured of the most professional service, warranty and finance support delivering an all-round superior purchasing and ownership experience.”

Dealer interest in phase two is welcome and can be directed to Warren Willmot.
