Linghui Auto (Chinese: 领汇汽车) is a Chinese electric car brand owned by BYD Auto.[1] Introduced in early 2026, it is BYD Auto's fifth brand after the namesake BYD marque, Denza, Fangchengbao, and Yangwang. The brand was established to focus on the taxi and ride-hailing markets, a strategic effort to distance the mainstream BYD marque from its traditional association with commercial fleets.

History

[edit]

Linghui vehicles appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's vehicle declarations in January 2026, prior to its announcement on 2 February 2026.[2][3] The brand was created to separate commercial fleet operations from the consumer market, distancing the main BYD marque from the ride-hailing image to support its retail positioning. As BYD's fifth brand, Linghui operates with an independent logo and sales channel.[4][5]

Linghui's initial product lineup, consisting of three battery electric sedans and one plug-in hybrid minivan, are rebadged from BYD models to reduce research and production costs. The vehicles are modified for fleet use with wear-resistant seating and warranties of up to six years or 600,000 kilometers.[6][7]
