As far as electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia go, the BYD Atto 3 sticks out like a sore thumb – and not for bad reasons. With a price tag starting from RM 149,800, it sits squarely in the sights of combustion-engine rivals, making it quite the compelling option for those looking to jump headfirst into sustainable mobility yet not compromising on practicality. And it's not just a novel one-trick pony that only has its emissions-free powertrain to talk about. For the money, you'll be getting an EV

Launching on 10-March 2023 Pricing to be confirmed at launch Estimated to be cheaper than before Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has previewed the 2023 Nissan Leaf facelift EV, with an estimated price from RM 169k.

However, Honda Malaysia has assured that it will not be increasing prices for now. "Despite the current challenging situation, Honda Malaysia will maintain its car prices as of now. Our priority is to continue providing the highest quality products and deliver to customers in a timely manner," said a Honda spokesperson. S

The topic of electrification is dominated by battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and rightly so, but it is also important to note that as of April 2021, there are only 2,769 BEVs in Thailand – the region’s leading market for electrified vehicles.

Theoretically, the e:HEV powertrain should be like what's in our Honda City RS' i-MMD system. It's a dual-motor setup, with its electric motor driving the car most of the time.
