BYD Philippines first launched their S1 in 2017 to a crowded sub-compact SUV marketspace. Thus, it comes as no surprise that it simply got lost. Hoping to stand out this time, distributor Solar Transport & Automotive Resources Corporation thinks their revamped 2020 offering may have something unique to offer: pure electric drive.

Solar Transport & Automotive Resources Corporation (STAR), the exclusive distributor of BYD automobiles is entering the sub-compact crossover game with the 2017 S1. The gasoline-powered S1 combines 5-seater comfort with reliable performance that’s suitable for both city driving and out of town trips.
