Singapore, 21 July 2026 – Vantage Automotive today announced the opening of its newest store at Tampines 1, marking a significant milestone in the brand's retail expansion journey and bringing Singapore's No. 1 selling car brand closer to communities in the East.
Located within one of Singapore's most vibrant suburban shopping destinations, the new store represents Vantage Automotive’s first lifestyle-centric retail concept, redefining how consumers discover, experience and engage with electric mobility.
The opening strengthens BYD's presence in the eastern region, making it more convenient for residents, families and working professionals to explore the brand's award-winning range of electric vehicles and learn more about the transition towards sustainable mobility.
Unlike a traditional automotive showroom, the Tampines 1 store has been designed as an immersive lifestyle and community space that seamlessly integrates into consumers' everyday lives. Situated within a bustling retail environment, the store allows shoppers to encounter and experience BYD's innovative electric vehicle technology while going about their regular shopping, dining and leisure activities.
More than a retail showcase, the space will serve as a platform for curated lifestyle experiences and community engagement initiatives. Visitors can look forward to a dynamic calendar of family-friendly events, lifestyle workshops and brand collaborations throughout the year, including matcha-making sessions, cake decorating workshops and other interactive experiences designed to bring people together.
The store will also host rotating partnerships with F&B and lifestyle brands, creating fresh and engaging reasons for visitors to return while fostering stronger connections between the BYD brand and the wider community.
This pioneering concept positions Vantage Automotive among the first automotive retailers in Singapore to introduce a dedicated lifestyle and community engagement platform within a suburban retail environment. By bringing together automotive innovation, education and lifestyle experiences under one roof, the brand is creating a new model for customer engagement that extends well beyond the traditional vehicle purchasing journey.
Visitors to the store can explore BYD's latest range of electric vehicles, discover the brand's industry-leading technologies and speak with product specialists about the benefits of EV ownership and sustainable transportation.
James Ng, Managing Director of BYD Singapore and President of BYD Philippines, said:
"The opening of our Tampines 1 store marks another important milestone in BYD's growth journey in Singapore. As electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate, it is important for us to bring the BYD brand closer to where our customers live, work and spend their time."
"As the world's leading New Energy Vehicle brand and Singapore's best-selling car brand, we are committed to making innovative and sustainable mobility solutions more accessible to everyone. This new store not only expands our reach in the East but also creates new opportunities for customers to discover BYD's cutting-edge technology and experience our vehicles in a convenient and welcoming environment."
"Together with Vantage Automotive, we look forward to continuing to support Singapore's transition towards a greener future while delivering exceptional experiences for our customers."
Adelene Tan, Managing Director, Vantage Automotive, said:
"The future of automotive retail is no longer just about selling cars. It's about creating experiences, building communities and becoming part of people's everyday lives."
"At Tampines 1, we have the opportunity to reimagine what an automotive store can be. Beyond showcasing BYD's award-winning vehicles, we are creating a vibrant lifestyle destination where customers can participate in workshops, enjoy curated experiences and engage with the brand in new and meaningful ways."
"From matcha-making and cake decorating workshops to collaborations with F&B and lifestyle partners, this space has been designed to bring people together. Our vision is to make electric mobility more accessible while creating memorable experiences that reflect our commitment to customer excellence."
The opening of the Tampines 1 store underscores Vantage Automotive’s continued commitment to expanding access to electric mobility across Singapore while elevating the overall customer experience. By bringing Singapore's leading automotive brand into the heart of the East, BYD is making sustainable transportation more accessible than ever while creating a welcoming destination where consumers can discover, learn and be inspired by the future of mobility.
While the Tampines 1 store serves as an accessible touchpoint for consumers in the East, it is supported by Vantage Automotive's established one-stop automotive hub at Alexandra Road.
Together, the two locations offer customers a seamless ownership journey—from vehicle exploration and purchase to aftersales care and maintenance.
With a comprehensive aftersales facility and service centre at Alexandra, Vantage Automotive continues to provide the infrastructure, expertise and peace of mind that customers expect from a leading automotive distributor.
