Chariots Specialist Cars has been named UK Retailer of the Year 2026 at the inaugural BYD Dealer Awards.
The award was presented to Chariots by Bono Ge, country manager of BYD UK and Steve Beattie, deputy country manager.
The accolade recognises excellence across customer experience, brand representation, sales performance and the group’s sustained commitment to supporting BYD’s mission to accelerate the transition to new energy vehicles.
Managing Director Franco Santoro said: “Chariots are honoured to receive the BYD UK Dealer of the Year award for 2026.
“This achievement reflects the dedication and professionalism of the entire team, whose commitment to delivering exceptional customer service and championing the BYD brand has been outstanding.”
The award also comes at a pivotal moment for Chariots following its acquisition of a new dealership in Rugby, Warwickshire.
The expansion strengthens their presence in the Midlands and enhances their capacity to serve a rapidly growing customer base.
