Australia’s best-selling PHEVs halfway through 2025: BYD dominates

by

Despite a long history producing plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), BYD only started selling them in Australia in 2024 – and already it’s far and away the market leader.

In the first half of 2025, total PHEV deliveries in Australia were up 210.2 per cent on the first six months of 2024, to 25,613 – that’s sales growth, if not outright sales volume, that outpaces even hybrids (up 14.9 per cent).

This means that of the total of 624,130 new vehicles delivered in Australia during the first six months of 2025, 15 per cent were hybrids, 7.6 per cent were EVs, and 4.1 per cent were PHEVs.

In the first half of 2025, BYD alone delivered 14,799 PHEVs, well ahead of stalwart Mitsubishi which was a distant second with 3690 deliveries.

Mitsubishi is rolling out an updated Outlander PHEV, while its Eclipse Cross PHEV is in runout. But for a company that was the first to launch a PHEV SUV in Australia all the way back in 2013, it has been rapidly overtaken by BYD.

BYD has actually been in the PHEV game longer than Mitsubishi, launching its first such model back in 2008 in China. Mitsubishi revealed its first production PHEV, based on the third-generation Outlander, in 2012.

Below is a Flourish chart showing all the brands selling PHEVs in Australia, and their total deliveries in the first half of 2025. We’ve also included the Leapmotor C10, which is technically classified as an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV).

Both of BYD’s two PHEVs in Australia alone outsold Mitsubishi’s two-model PHEV lineup.

The Shark 6 ute has proved a huge success for BYD, and so far this year it’s not only the best-selling PHEV in Australia but the 12th best-selling vehicle overall.

Sitting in second is the Sealion 6 mid-size SUV, an arch-rival for the Outlander PHEV that sits in third place.

The GWM Haval H6 took fourth position, and its sales should get a boost with the introduction of a PHEV powertrain in the ‘standard’ body, joining the Haval H6 GT PHEV ‘coupe SUV’ launched earlier this year.

Behind this sit Mazda’s CX-60 and CX-80 SUVs. The Japanese brand is currently Australia’s third largest PHEV brand by sales volume.

A new name on these sales charts is Jaecoo, with its first (and thus far only) PHEV, the J7 SHS SUV.

Jaecoo was the 10th best-selling PHEV brand, and its J7 was the 10th best-selling PHEV.

Below is a chart showing total delivery figures by model for the first half of 2025.

BYD only sells PHEV versions of its Sealion 6 and Shark 6; likewise BMW with its XM.

However, where a brand also offers non-PHEV versions of a model, we’ve detailed below the total percentage of sales that PHEV variants account for.
