The company also said it would integrate AI startup Deepseek's software into its cars, following domestic peers such as Geely, Great Wall Motors, and Leapmotor.
BYD will install its “God’s Eye” autonomous driving system in at least 21 models, including the Seagull budget hatchback priced from 69,800 yuan ($9,550).
“Autonomous driving is no longer a remote rarity, it’s a... necessary tool,“ BYD founder Wang Chuanfu said at a livestreamed event on Monday.
The integration of DeepSeek, the company said, would help improve self-driving technology and provide a more personalised experience for consumers.
Shares in BYD jumped 4.5 percent to a record high in Hong Kong on Tuesday -- having already risen almost 20 percent in the days leading up to Monday's event.
Almost 11 million electric and hybrid vehicles were sold in the country last year, up more than 40 percent from 2023.
BYD accounted for around 4.2 million of those sales, with its quarterly revenue overtaking Tesla's for the first time in the third quarter.
