BYD is joining forces with Superman, well, the movie, at least.

As part of a new partnership with Warner Bros. Philippines, BYD Cars Philippines has been named the official mobility partner of the latest Superman film. The announcement was made during the Superman World Tour’s Philippine stop, which took over the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall on June 19, 2025, for a fan-packed event featuring cast members, the director, and the film’s producer.

The partnership kicked off on June 19, 2025, with a sneak peek of the BYD Sealion 5 DM-i, showcased with Superman-themed decals, at the Philippine fan event prior to its Philippine launch. Superman fans and distinguished guests were among the very first in the country to witness the newest sub-compact SUV offering from BYD up close.

Seven additional BYD electric vehicles, including the BYD Tang seven-seater SUV, the eMAX 7 seven-seater MPV, and the Seal sedan, transported Warner Bros. executives and crew throughout the Philippine tour.

“This is an exciting partnership that introduces two game changers - a new Superman and the all-new BYD Sealion 5 DM-i,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. “BYD’s collaboration with Superman celebrates the Super DM-i Technology’s extraordinary performance and innovation, while inspiring hope—values that align perfectly with BYD as a global pioneer in automotive innovation and sustainable mobility,” shared Palanca.
