BYD Seal 6 EV Officially Debuts in Malaysia with Competitive Pricing

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — The much-awaited BYD Seal 6 EV has finally made its way to Malaysia, becoming the brand’s first stylish all-electric sedan to be sold outside its home market of China. Packed with sleek looks, impressive range, and strong performance, the Seal 6 EV is set to attract attention in the growing EV market with a starting price of just RM100,000 (around USD 21,200).

While the name may sound familiar, the Malaysian and international versions are slightly different from the Chinese model. In China, the same vehicle goes by the name Qin L EV. Despite this variation, both share a similar design DNA, particularly at the front, which draws heavy inspiration from BYD’s Dynasty lineup, including popular models like the Atto 2 (Yuan Up) and Atto 3 (Yuan Plus).

Pricing, Variants, and Colour Options

For Malaysia, the Seal 6 EV is available in two distinct trims, catering to buyers with different needs and budgets:

• BYD Seal 6 EV Dynamic: RM100,000 (~USD 21,200)

• BYD Seal 6 EV Premium: RM115,800 (~USD 24,550)

Customers can select from three elegant shades — Arctic White, Misty Blue, and Harbour Grey. The cabin comes in a Black and Grey dual-tone interior, adding a touch of premium sophistication to the overall feel.

Warranty and Ownership Benefits

Every Seal 6 EV purchased comes with a 6-year / 150,000km vehicle warranty, plus an additional 8-year / 160,000km warranty for the drive unit and high-voltage battery. This comprehensive coverage ensures long-term peace of mind for EV owners.

Exclusive Launch Package

To mark its launch, BYD Sime Motors has introduced a special Seal 6 EV Launch Package with exclusive rewards for early buyers. The offers vary depending on the variant and housing type:

• Premium owners with landed homes: RM3,000 (~USD 635) rebate

• Premium owners in high-rise residences: RM1,000 (~USD 212) rebate + 12-month Sime Platinum 4+ package

The Sime Platinum 4+ package includes:

• 4 mobile DC charging sessions delivered to your location

• 2 monthly car detailing services

• 2 complimentary EV rescue services annually

In addition, the first 800 customers — regardless of variant — will also receive a free wall charger.
