Greece’s Sfakianakis Group launched last Thursday in Nicosia the first showroom for Chinese electric vehicle brand BYD that is rolling into the Cypriot market after its successful entry into the Greek one.
BYD, short for “Build Your Dreams,” will open two showrooms, the second being in Limassol, offering Cypriots a first-hand look at its latest electric cars.
The Nicosia launch included a glamorous event at the Old GSP Square.
Four of BYD’s most popular models will be available for the Cyprus market: ATTO 3, the company’s best-selling SUV; Seal, a sleek and sporty model with a growing fan base; Sealion 7, a larger electric SUV; and Seal U DM-i, a plug-in hybrid with added range.
Ahead of the launch, BYD invited media representatives to test-drive the new models in Greece.
The event took place in Glyfada, a coastal suburb of Athens, starting from a beachside restaurant, and the wound all the way to Cape Sounio.
Over the course of a three-hour drive, journalists had the chance to get behind the wheel of each vehicle, experiencing the performance and high-tech features that reflect BYD’s vision for the future of mobility, according to Sfakianakis.
