BYD Seal Open For Pre-orders
Sime Darby Beyond Auto (SDBA), the exclusive distributor of BYD in Malaysia, is now accepting pre-orders for the BYD Seal.
The BYD Seal is a 4-door electric coupe available in 3 variants i.e. Dynamic, Premium and Performance. The former 2 variants run a single motor rear-wheel-drive configuration with output of 150 kW (201 hp) and 310 Nm, and 230 kW (308 hp) and 360 Nm respectively. The Dynamic variant has a 61.4 kWh Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that provides up to 510 km of driving range while the Premium has a larger 82.5 kWh LFP battery with 650 km range.
Meanwhile, the Performance variant has a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration with a combined output of 390 kW (523 hp) and 670 Nm of torque. It has the ability to do a 0 – 100 km/h sprint in 3.8 seconds, but its 82.5 kWh LFP battery is limited to a driving range of 580 km. All driving range quoted are based on the NEDC cycle.
In terms of charging performance, the BYD Seal Dynamic supports AC charging up to 7 kW and takes approximately 8.6 hours to get from 0 to 100% SoC (state of charge). For DC charging, it supports up to 110 kW. The Seal Premium and Performance variants on the other hand takes about 15.2 hours to fully charge the larger battery pack via AC charging at 7 kW. However, its DC charging capability is higher at 150 kW. On DC, it needs only about 37 minutes to get from 10% to 80% SoC. The BYD Seal has a 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.

On another note, SDBA is celebrating a remarkable 2023, with BYD emerging as the market leader in Malaysia’s electric vehicle (EV) segment. It is expecting this trend to continue for 2024; its recent event at Bukit Jalil saw over 660 bookings made over the weekend for the BYD Atto 3 and BYD Dolphin. Riding on this wave of success, SDBA is looking to roll out a series of promotions, exclusive offers, including a 0% interest rate campaign. These initiatives are designed to sustain the momentum and provide value to Malaysian drivers seeking the transition to EV.
“Our achievement of the highest EV vehicle sales in 2023 reflects the strong support and trust by Malaysian consumers in BYD. Our comprehensive network of aftersales support nationwide is a key differentiator in our success. We are delighted to be able to provide exceptional services and specialised technical care to all proud BYD owners and growing,” said Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Sime Darby Motors.
“With the imminent arrival of the highly anticipated BYD SEAL, SDBA remains dedicated in fostering the adoption of EV in Malaysia and is confident that this will further solidify BYD’s position as a leader in the country’s evolving automotive landscape,” he added.
