Last month, BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia sent immediate compact EV rivals into late night meetings to figure out how to re-work the pricing on their soon to launch electric cars (we are talking about the EV’s below RM90k) when BYD Sime Motors unveiled the RM86,500 BYD Atto 2 (after the special offers).
Then yesterday morning in 1 Utama, BYD unveiled the BYD SEAL 6 EV sedan priced from a magical RM100,000 (RM3k rebate right now which brings the price to just RM97k) sending shock waves in the Malaysian social media as this large C Segment car is larger than the petrol powered very popular Honda Civic and even BYD’s very own electric SEAL sports sedan which is priced from RM171,800.
So, near future electric car buyers please take note.
- The recently launched SEAL sports sedan (RM171k) delivers up to 650km NEDC range.
- The recently launched Atto 2 hatchback (RM86k) delivers 410km NEDC range.
- The just launched SEAL 6 EV sedan delivers (RM97k with launch RM3k rebate) 485km NEDC range.
Therefore, looking at the above information, it is clear that BYD has 3 electric vehicles, with pricing to challenge all the legacy Japanese brands that are selling petrol powered vehicles in Malaysia. This includes the Toyota Corolla Altis, Toyota Yaris and even the Mazda3.
Its their way of offering something for almost everyone in the middle class segment and tickling the interest to switch to emission free motoring (full electric vehicle).
Meanwhile, the soon to be launched new compact electric cars many Malaysians have been looking forward will have a tough time taking a ‘lions share’ of the sales numbers with this new SEAL 6 EV and also the Atto 2 EV sitting below the ‘magical’ RM99k price point.
