It’s only been ten days since the BYD Seal 6 EV was launched in Malaysia, but the car has already notched up over 100 deliveries to dealers on the peninsula and East Malaysia, with the first batch of customers getting their keys. These individuals are notable in being the first people outside China to own the sedan, which is sold in its home market as the Qin L EV.
“Malaysia is proud to be the first international market to welcome the BYD Seal 6 — a milestone that not only marks the debut of a dynamic new vehicle, but also reflects our commitment to meeting customers’ needs with professionalism and passion, said BYD Sime Motors MD Adeline Lew. “We commend the seamless coordination by the team that ensured the BYD Seal 6 reached every corner of the country without delay. For us, this is about consistently building trust while making electric mobility more accessible for Malaysians.”
With the nationwide deliveries completed, the Seal 6 is now available to view and test drive in showrooms. Speaking of which, BYD Sime Motors plans to expand its dealer network from the existing 37 outlets to 50 next year, improving access to sales, service and charging across the country.
To recap, the Seal 6 is available in Dynamic and Premium variants, priced at RM100,000 and RM115,800 respectively. On top of that, BYD is offering a launch package worth RM6,288, inclusive of a choice of either a wallbox charger and a RM3,000 rebate, or a 12-month doorstep charging programme (via Power Up) and a RM1,000 rebate.
Both variants are rear-wheel drive, with the Dynamic producing 129 PS (95 kW) and 220 Nm, getting it from zero to 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds. The Premium boosts outputs to 218 PS (160 kW) and 330 Nm, cutting the century sprint to 7.5 seconds.
Common to both is a 56.64 kWh Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering a quoted range of 485 km on the NEDC cycle; expect closer to 410 km on the stricter WLTP cycle. The Seal 6 supports up to 100 kW of DC fast charging, taking 23 minutes to top it up from 30 to 80%. It will also accept up to 6.6 kW of AC charging and comes with a 3.7 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) function. More details in our launch report.
