BYD

BYD recently announced a recall of nearly 97,000 vehicles in China due to a manufacturing issue. According to a report from Reuters, the recall affects Dolphin and Yuan Plus models produced between November 2022 and December 2023. The fault, which involves a steering control unit, poses a potential fire risk. However, Sime Darby Motors, the official distributor for BYD in Malaysia, has reassured local customers that vehicles sold in Malaysia are not impacted by this recall. In a statement issued

Sime Darby Beyond Auto, the distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia, has started posting family-themed teasers hinting at its next new model launch. Its latest post on the company’s official Facebook page said, “Get ready for your next family adventure!” The sole photo posted showed a family of four in the background, with a drawing on the wheel-tracked beach sand that said, “Coming soon.” The ad is obviously alluding to the BYD M6, the three-row seat C-segment fully electric MPV that’s already on s

BYD will be adding a new model, the BYD M6, in Malaysia soon. This was confirmed by Liu Xueliang, General Manager of BYD Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division, at an event in China in August. The BYD M6 is a fully electric (BEV) MPV that is currently available in Thailand and Indonesia. No timeline for the Malaysian launch has been announced but historically, local distributor, Sime Darby Beyond Auto launches at least one new model every year. This year alone, BYD has launched 3 new models – the BYD

Rever Automotive, the distributor of BYD cars in Thailand, has launched the BYD M6 in Thailand with two variants: the BYD M6 Dynamic, priced at THB 829,900 (around RM 106,950), and the M6 Extended, priced at THB 929,900 (around RM 119,870).

Meanwhile, the Toyota Veloz is priced between THB 795,000 (around RM 102,450) and THB 875,000 (around RM 112,810). T

Alongside the new BYD Seal Dynamic, Sime Darby Beyond Auto also rolled out the 2024 BYD Atto 3 Extended Range, taking over the spot of the sole Standard Range variant, and all for the same RM149,800 price tag. So, what’s “enhanced” about this new Atto 3? Let’s break it down. First off, you’re getting a bump in range: 480 km NEDC compared to the previous 410 km, thanks to a larger 60.48 kWh battery (up from 49.92 kWh). You’ll still get that 7 kW single-phase AC charging, while DC charging is rate

The entry-variant BYD Seal, the Dynamic Standard Range, has been launched in Malaysia, priced at RM 163,800. Fully imported (CBU) from China, the new variant gives a more wallet-friendly option, but don’t go thinking “entry-level” means it skimps on the good stuff. Sure, it’s the least powerful of the bunch, but the Dynamic Standard Range still packs a decent punch. Under the bonnet – or rather, the rear axle – it’s got the same 204 PS motor you’ll find in the BYD Atto 3 Extended Range and Dolph
