  • BYD is reportedly doing what no other non-Japanese automaker has ever done: it’s working on a kei car.
  • The new model will be electric and arrive in Japan in 2026.
  • The BYD kei model targets a lower starting price than Japan’s most popular EV, the Nissan Sakura.
    The Sakura is a Kei car with a starting price of around $18,250 USD. The Sakura has a tiny 20 kilowatt-hour battery that’s good for a claimed WLTC range of 112 miles (180 km). It gets a heat pump for efficient cabin climate control and 100 kW fast-charging capability.
