BYD is hosting a hands-on driving and tech experience at Sydney Motorsport Park from July 9 to 11, giving punters the chance to get behind the wheel of its latest electric and hybrid vehicles. 

The event, called the BYD Tech Hub, will showcase the brand’s newest models through a mix of interactive drive sessions and displays. This is the first time the event has been held in Australia, and it’s completely free to attend. Drivers can test vehicles across different terrains, including an off-road course, a dynamic road surface area and a full track drive.

The big draw for many will be the Shark 6, but the Sealion 6 and Sealion 7 will also be available for test drives. BYD is also bringing out several models never seen before in Australia from its global brands including Denza, FangChengBao and Yangwang. Full list of vehicles:

  • BYD Shark 6
  • BYD Sealion 6
  • BYD Sealion 7
  • Denza Z9GT
  • Denza D9
  • FangChengBao B5 and B8
  • Yangwang U9

For those not driving, there’s still plenty to check out: a virtual reality zone, live music, food trucks, free coffee, and a kids’ clinic run by the Sydney Roosters development team.

Spots are limited each day, and registration is required – especially if you’re planning to drive. After Sydney, the BYD Tech Hub will be heading to Brisbane, Melbourne, and New Zealand later this year.
