Finally we get our hands on the very much anticipated BYD Racco Kei car - and this is exceptional value for money. We drive it on the streets of Himeji in Japan and take it for a ride around Japan to explore the car in more detail.

I love Kei cars - I know you will too.

I like Kei cars and mini vans they are way more practical than SUVs

Simple. Real world utility. Modest in resource usage. You are so right - 85% of the time this all drivers really need. Great review Elliot.

Like how the chinese have lit a fire under almost every automaker

The UK definitely needs vehicles like this, Honda are doing it.
We need to persuade people that big 4x4s are no longer cool and trendy.

we need this (and kei cars) in Europe

We need this in the Philippines

a lot of people would say this is not suitable to Canadian driving here, but I want this car. As someone who doesn't like driving and hasn't been driving in the past 6 years, I would get this car without hesitation if it ever comes here, as it simply suits the single person lifestyle perfectly.

Yes more of this in the UK

@glennhuinda9783 3 weeks ago

So many Kei car lovers here in the Philippines. Bring them BYD Racco here!!

Yes please, bring this to the UK. This is exactly the kind of car British people want to see more of, small, practical and ideal for narrow roads.

And yes BYD please bring this car to your new Showroom in Telford, UK

BYD, the UK needs cars like this. Small, practical and so cheap that buying a new car makes more sense than buying a used one ( always a stumbling block for budget new cars).

@sammni 3 weeks ago

In the UK here and I am absolutely interested in this

@ronaldduncan6228 3 weeks ago

Elliot, yes this type of vehicular should be introduced in to the U.K., and the comment about the Suzuki Jimny is bang on. Great episode, keep them coming.

@jeesjees2 3 weeks ago

Yes, please bring this to Finland! ASAP. Thank you.

I want this car for Australia. All you need is from A to B around the city

@janrupertalfeche8959 3 weeks ago

Genuinely want this here in the Philippines. PLEASE. WE NEED MORE OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.

Would be nice to see this get a safety approval in Oz and mix in with the Honda Super-ONE and maybe(?) the Suzuki e Sky or generic Oz name of ESKY.
Kudos to BYD for really studying how the Japanese do smart basic packaging in the Kei car segment.

This would be great for Greek islands, where the roads are really tight and they're only 50km from one end to the other. They often have huge rental fleets for summer tourists, often underpowered budget manual cars, which have to be parked up in limited space in the winter.
