About BYD Adventure Motors
Finding the right BYD is only the beginning. We’re here to look after you at every stage – and that’s what makes BYD Adventure Motors different.
Led by Dealer Principal and CEO Chris Damsteegt, our local team has built the business around one remarkable vehicle brand: BYD.
This makes us all-in on BYD – and going the extra mile for the people who choose it. Our aim is simple: make BYD easy to understand and easy to own, with straight-up advice, a friendly team and local support at every stage.
Purely BYD
Focusing solely on BYD was a deliberate choice. We don’t sell a mix of vehicle brands, there is no divided attention and no competing badge to steer you towards. Our people, training and customer experience are all centred on BYD.
We’re backing BYD because we believe there is value for every New Zealander. We invest in ongoing product and technical training, including planned visits to the BYD production factories in China, so we can answer your questions confidently and help you get the most from your BYD.
All about you
Buying a vehicle should feel exciting, not confusing or pressured. Whether you know exactly which BYD you want or are still deciding between fully electric or the Super Hybrid model range, we’re here to help.
We’ll take the time to understand how you live and drive, explain the technology clearly and give you the space to make a decision you feel good about.
Your BYD partner for life
When you buy a BYD from us, our relationship is just getting started. Sales, servicing, repairs, panel repairs and parts are all available through our dealership operation.
You can come back to a familiar team that knows you and your vehicle – whether you’re in for a service or dropping by for a coffee and a chat about your BYD.
Local people, long-term commitment
BYD Adventure Motors is a local business with strong Christchurch roots. Chris has called the city home for more than 20 years, and his commitment to whānau and community, with a focus on developing long-term relationships, underpins how we look after our customers.
We’re backed by The Colonial Motor Company, which has been part of New Zealand motoring for more than 100 years. That history is reflected in our values of trust, transparency and delivering on our promise.
For New Zealand life
Few things feel more Kiwi than a road trip through our beautiful countryside. Here in the South Island, our vehicles also need to go the distance.
We believe BYD is made for New Zealand life – helping keep everyday driving costs down and reduce emissions while offering the safety and reassurance we want on our roads. We’re proud to champion BYD in our region and play an active part in the communities we call home.
