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.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
7.5s to 100km/h yer comes with plushy comfortable interior. It’s a sedan above the rest now.
It’s longer wheelbase and wider stance is a rare wide body sedan. Its not perfect like the larger and sportier BYD Seal Performance but this Seal 06 EV is an excellent fast and comfortable buy compared to Civic and Mercedes Benz A200 Torsion Beam and even the C200?
wow you sound like a sales person from BYD! are you?! BYD Ara Damansara?
Tahniah
I must say I am very impressed. The car is bigger than the size of Civic and it’s only selling at 100k, and already 100 units delivered. This kind of efficiency can never be achieved by Malaysia.
Looks like BYD got a winner with the Seal 6. It’s a good value proposition; C segment interior space, comfort and performance at B segment price. The 410 km WLTP range is enough for most owners to daily drive for days before needing recharge.
better save few thousand ringit and buy a honda city RS for rM98k because we all know that japs cars have better resale value, do u agree peppa ?
byd the best
come december honda will come out with the ultimate check mate move to kill off this chinese car, buy one civic free one city
LMAO you wish… and even if they give those out for free, do YOU want a City now with these superior vehicles coming on?
so that you can drive your city when your civic is parked at the SC waiting to replace its steering rack?

whats wrong or misleading ? did u even read article “first batch of custoemrs got their keys”. why first batch launch cars or dealer test drive cars cannot count into tally ? if one year later in 2026 the article headline says “10k ten thousand cars sold by BYD Sime darby” are you also going to call them liars?
