Although BYD is best known for low-cost vehicles like the $10,000 Seagull (Dolphin Surf in Europe), Dolphin hatch, and the Atto 3 SUV, the company is quickly expanding into new luxury segments.

Outside its core Dynasty and Ocean series, BYD has several luxury sub-brands, including Denza, Yangwang, and Fang Cheng Bao, each offering unique vehicles.

While all are considered premium brands, Yangwang is the most expensive, focusing on performance and advanced technologies.
