Malaysia has become the stage for a global first with the debut of the BYD SEAL 6 EV, launched by BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD cars in the country. This milestone marks BYD’s seventh model in Malaysia and signals the brand’s growing commitment to making electric mobility more attractive, practical, and accessible to local drivers.
A New Era for C-Segment Sedans
The SEAL 6 EV arrives with the tagline “Precision. Passion. Aligned.” emphasizing its blend of engineering precision, driving passion, and balanced design.
It is the first BYD model to feature a dual ball-joint MacPherson strut front suspension paired with a rear multi-link setup, delivering sharper handling and greater stability. With rear-wheel drive—rare in the segment—the car promises a sporty yet refined drive that stands out in its class.
Sized as the largest C-segment sedan in Malaysia, the SEAL 6 EV offers supreme handling thanks to a tight 5.5-meter turning radius and a more balanced weight distribution.
Practicality is not overlooked either, with 24 smart storage compartments and a generous 525 liters of cargo space. Powering the sedan is a 160kW motor producing 330Nm torque, allowing it to sprint from 0–100km/h in 7.5 seconds, with three selectable driving modes to suit different conditions.
Premium Comfort Meets Everyday Practicality
Inside, the SEAL 6 EV is designed to rekindle the joy of driving. The quiet, premium cabin features ergonomic touches and seamless connectivity, while offering ample space for both urban commutes and long-distance travel. Customers can choose from two variants—Dynamic (RM100,000) and Premium (RM115,800)—with exterior colors in Arctic White, Harbour Grey, and Misty Blue, paired with a Black + Grey interior.
Exclusive launch perks sweeten the deal for the first 800 customers. Landed property owners will receive a free wall charger worth RM3,288 plus an RM3,000 rebate, while high-rise residents can opt for the Sime Platinum 4+ doorstep charging package valued at RM5,000, alongside an RM1,000 rebate. All buyers also get a Vehicle-to-Load adapter, a Type 2 charging cable, and a comprehensive warranty package covering the vehicle (6 years/150,000km), drive unit (8 years/160,000km), and Blade Battery (8 years/160,000km).
BYD Strengthens Nationwide Presence
“The BYD SEAL 6 EV sets yet another benchmark for electric vehicles in Malaysia—combining attractive design, cutting-edge innovation and everyday practicality,” said Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Sime Motors, Southeast Asia. “With today’s launch, we’re confident more Malaysians will embrace EVs, supported by our expanding network of outlets and after-sales excellence.”
Echoing this, Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, highlighted the balance of technology and affordability: “With the SEAL 6 EV, we want to show that an electric car can be both advanced and accessible, offering long range, smart features, and a competitive price point.”
Since entering Malaysia, BYD Sime Motors has sold over 20,000 vehicles and expanded to 37 outlets nationwide, with plans to reach 50 outlets by 2026. This growing footprint ensures that BYD customers enjoy convenient access to sales, service, and charging solutions—cementing the brand’s role in Malaysia’s accelerating EV adoption.
