BYD Seal Malaysia estimated pricing
According to the chatters within the industry, the price of BYD Seal in Malaysia will be around the region of RM200,000. This means the new EV will compete directly against the Tesla Model 3.

The Seal has previously been sold in several right-hand-drive (RHD) markets such as Singapore, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand. Based on those markets, we expect that SDM will be offering the new EV in three different variants including the base BYD Seal Dynamic as well as BYD Seal Premium and BYD Seal Performance.

BYD Seal Malaysia specs

Let’s start with the base BYD Seal Dynamic model which is equipped with a single 150kW (201hp) electric motor that also produces 310Nm of torque. This rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant can go from 0 to 100km/h in 7.5 seconds.

Then BYD Seal Premium variant takes things up a notch by having a more powerful 230kW (309hp) electric motor with 360Nm of torque. The extra firepower helps reduce this variant’s sprint timing to just 5.9 seconds.

Last but not least, there is also the BYD Seal Performance which is the only all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant in the family. This model has a total output of 390kW (523hp) as well as 670Nm of torque and can go from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds.


When it comes to battery, BYD has chosen to fit the base Seal Dynamic with a 61.44kWh battery pack. On the other hand, both Seal Premium and Seal Performance are equipped with a much larger 82.56kWh battery pack.

Hence, it is not surprising to see that Seal Dynamic has a much shorter WLTP-rated range of 460km than its higher-end siblings. As a comparison, the Seal Performance model has a range of 520km according to the WLTP standards while the Seal Premium offers a WLTP-rated range of 570km.


Another factor that separates these three Seal variants apart is their charging capabilities. While all three of them come with a 7kW onboard AC charger, the DC charging support for the base Dynamic model maxes out at 110kW – much lower than its Performance and Premium counterparts which can go up to 150kW.

Seal should catch Penguins, not worm.

semua EV kau ni cakap BBBBBB

padahal

the early bird catches the lemon

Wait for BYD Orca to tapau seal.

Mulut cakap BBBBB EVVV
Tapi bebird gosok ICEEEE

macha infamous for blow water

Changan now #1 in China, byd collect skin jor. coming in to malaysia this year.

i know coz i sell stickers.

BYK cantik

Then Seal is better buy because Seal is sport car

just seal the deal

jaga diri sendiri.

Kesian pay so much still using wired charging instead of wireless charging

very powderful translation

i not dare to use 150kW wireless charging (atleast now)

cant imagine the electromagnetic wave

RM200k ? The brand tell all. -> BeiYanDiu

if at this price i buy Tesla instead

Never thought of the meaning of BYD

But yeah lel

200k for a good for 5 years car....

everybody says this,,. but at 200k tesla has no posh interior, u don't get that quality luxury feel

tunggu je a few month 20k discount like atto 3...if same price with tesla model 3 i dont see why malaysian will but it...even the spec n everything is better than tesla

I highly recommend you guys watch this vid. You can see the BYD Seal is the clear winner here (EDIT: IMHO; Mat Watson says the Tesla is better)

the early bird catches fire

Tesla more atas

proton s70 also clear winner vs vious n city...but ppl still willing to topup sikit belit T&H

Seal is:

- Faster than Model 3 0–100
- More premium interior fittings than Model 3
- 360 camera instead of rear + LaneWatch-style side cameras
- Actual gear lever easier to do parallel/side parking where you need to go between R and D frequently (some instances of people swiping the screen thinking they went into R but still in D and hitting cars on highland Model 3)
- Actual signal/indicator stalks and not on the steering wheel

169k for base model
179k mid tier
189k top tier

For that car I only will pay RM150k because that's already RM40k more than China's starting price of RMB 166,800.

Yea unfortunately some people are brand snobs. I think there'll come a day where the Chinese OEMs are well-regarded in the automotive world. In the past, western countries also looked down at Japanese carmakers when they first entered the scene, and look at where they're at today.

BUY your dream!

Mat said he liked the Tesla even more than the BYD.

Topkek dunno what propaganda failed. Matt clearly says he likes the Tesla more than BYD and the Tesla wins the test.

am i right that you only can install 7kw AC at home to charge Seal and it will take more than 10 hours to fully charge?,

Correct. BYD only has single phase AC charger

https://soyacincau.com/2023/10/28/why-byd-d...charging-guide/

This isn't /k so please keep your snark out of it. The takeaway I got from watching the vid is my own, not Mat Watson's. When he looked at the build quality and how the seats were, the Seal is more comfortable even though the Model 3's seems to be a bit more roomy. Acceleration performance the Seal was a lot quicker off the line but the Model 3 catches on at the end of the quarter mile. For city driving the Seal likely feels a lot snappier despite weighing 200kg or so more.

The only thing I hope is Seal is cheaper than Model 3, but BYD doesn't have the AP-free advantage Tesla has, so they'll likely be priced neck-to-neck here.

Snark? You are the one trying to misrepresent the video. Matt clearly says his conclusion here that Tesla wins, and yet you posted his video and said clearly BYD wins without even having the courtesy to say that's your own personal opinion.

then tesla m3 will be better for 11kw home charging.

didn't watch the video but was he comparing seal performance and m3 extended range? it will be a fair comparison for acceleration if tesla plan to intro model 3 performance

You’re right. I should’ve prefaced by saying the “clearly Seal wins” part was my own opinion

This guy kinda looks like Bear Grylls.

The Tesla parking bit is kinda funny; I can't imagine myself swiping up and down during parking to switch gear

Yeah, I really hope Tesla backpedals this decision. It seems “okay” on paper but would just be a huge pain in the ass to do parallel parking IRL.

all good bro, now back to discussion about car.

Brand is still brand like it or not. Tesla is way more prestigious than BYD. Proton has the same issues since Wira and Waja, 60k can buy full spec Waja/Persona so why spend 80k to buy kosong Vios? T and H brand ma. Like it or not is a very big factor in car buying in Malaysia, otherwise everyone will be happily driving Perodua Axia, Axia already have all the features everyone needs.

Yeah, Chinese brands need a bit more time and some positive track record to improve public perception. Japanese manufacturers used to be looked down upon by American and European carmakers during post-WWII era, but look at where they're at today.

I do think the Chinese brands stand a bit of a chance because unlike ICE where engine and gearbox combination play a huge role (what the Germans are great at), for EVs driving feel more or less feel quite similar, so it's more a matter of suspension and chassis tuning.

A lot of it is patent though, they can't really sell in places like Australia or EU because they violate patents.
Take my X70 as example and the 1.8t engine in it. The engine is carbon copy of VW EA888 engine. It is exactly the same that I can use VW/Audi oil filter for my car. They can sell here and in China no problem because our IP protection is weak and in China the courts will side with China company no matter how bad the violation is (like the Muji case where Muji lost).


In the case of chassis tuning, they are not very good at it. Proton beg them for years to let them tune those X-series cars but they refused. Now only they let Proton tune, otherwise X50 will be lambasted because the original ride was very bad.

SEA LION > Seal....

Unless suddenly comes whale. LOL

We need to boycott agenda pre-book.

Gauge market response to set final selling price / early bird promo.

Can confirm it is a stupid PITA and simply not ergonomic to use.

Esp trying to do a three point turn. It is not better, it’s simply cost cutting.

Tesla taking a cue from Apple; this is innovation

U dont need signal stalk or gear selectors

how is the handling of this BYD seal?
planning to get the G20 330i for my wife...
i know speed wise definitely seal faster.. tested tesla m3 i think bmw handling better... but dunno about this seal.

Yes Seal can prebook already. Interested can PM me yah

If interested in other models also can see HERE

seal or 07 ?

Did anyone book the car after the price was announced yesterday? the price is surely competitive enough. very tempting.

I booked the car 2 weeks ago, paid 5k. Till now not yet decided to go for long range or performance. Also not decided black or white. When paying deposit, I put as long range white but can change anytime.

Now looking to sell off my 2022 Civic E!

wow nice, u are the brave one who booked prior official price announced. congrats. when will you get the car? i heard they have ready stock for premium, but for performance need to wait 2 months. i plan to get the premium as well, just wanna test drive first before pull the trigger. color still thinking, as all colors are so handsome!

Come come PM me, i can arrange test drive for you

I can get the car as early as end of this month as soon as I make up my mind. Funny you should mention 2 month wait for performance. Last night I was at the pre-launch function and almost every BYD salesperson mentioned the performance may be jerky for daily drive and too throttle-happy and may not be comfortable in traffic jams. They all recommended the premium for overall best satisfaction. I thought nothing of it but my brother felt they were bashing the Performance and promoting the Premium - he even guessed that they may have short ordered the Premium and cannot meet demand so they are trying to convert customers to Premium. I was also told privately that they brought in a bunch of Dynamics which they last minute decided not to launch locally because it may kill off Atto3. The price would be 150k plus. In the next few months they will be offering this variant quietly to get rid of ordered stocks of Dynamic.

Dude I know this ain't K or finance section but you risk losing alot of money changing cars like changing hand phone. Why not wait a little and gauge the future of EV?

Unfortunately I didn't get to test the 3.8s model , however I find the RWD a bit underpowered to my liking. Maybe its the way the accelerator is being tuned, perhaps it isn't a linear pedal response.

If the Dynamic has some stocks here, that one is really a good deal IMO!

Does anyone know top speed of byd seal for peeformance spec?

180 km/h

Thats rather low for such a car. Thanks anyway. Agent told.me it was 230kmh. was skeptical awhile.

got built-in dash cam ?

Electronically limited to 180 km/h, not sure why perhaps actual top speed is 230km/h.

lel, too many /k come here to rant this car, actually is cannot afford it.

OK went to test drive both the Performance and Premium. The Performance was fun but I think soon the novelty of 3.8s will wear off so I went for the Premium in white. Will collect the car day after tomorrow, Saturday afternoon.

First 2 weeks, you would probably go crazy on the acceleration , after that is chasing for efficiency numbers Experience from my first EV too .

Hence why i only tested the Performance version... Premium version acceleration will be just like my current ICE.

3.8s is for when you want it to perform, regular drive just drive normally lah..

I was late by 5 minutes... one uncle test drive the performance... but I came back to showroom faster LOL, overtook the performance.. and even at traffic light side by side the uncle don't dare tekan lah.

He go for joyride baik test the Premium instead of Performance.

Mind to share if got additional free gift or rebate other than the early bird package? Heard some branch offer rebate on installation cost for wall charger

I only got the early bird package, nothing else. Salesperson lose out a bit because I take my own insurance and no loan.

Me think the same question can be asked here in Malaysia

Will you make the switch?

Already did, collected the car yesterday.

Congratulations

Have u joined the seal malaysia owners whatsapp group yet? If not yet feel free to pm me

how is it so far? happy with the purchase? did u put ppf on it? is it really worth to put ppf? and for the sunroof, is it hot? need to put extra tinted there?

you've also bought the seal?

No I busybody in seal group only. Provide charging support there since many first time ev owners so abit of chaos still..

nice. first hand info on any issues to the car.

i'm still contemplating on whether to get an EV.
i don't do short distance drive much. but the seal pricing is really hard to look away.

A seal owner in the group just did KL to Kota Bharu. Left 25% upon reaching KB..

Distance travelled 439km

Millennium Cheras 99

i'm gonna pass.
i'll take my pickup truck for any long distance drive.

doing 2000km+ in an EV is a hassle. which i frequently do.

did you not read boy96 detailed review of his atto3. he did a very nice job.

Just go to BYD showroom lots of unsold EV waiting for new owners

I just drove from the showroom to IrisPro and then went home. Had to go to PD....the Seal would have been perfect but had to carry bulky stuff so had to take my 4x4! Just came back today. Probably tomorrow onwards I will get to drive and report back here.

I only installed IrisPro's cheapest tint below rm600 and put on a mirror look tint for the sunroof for additional 200. Not hot at all even without the tint but I did it anyway. I don't believe in ppf and going to extra lengths to take care of the car as I believe the car is supposed to be at your service. Not the other way around.

thanks will let you know if I want to join the group.

Not yet.
Please point me in the right direction.

Easy to search his topics under his profile. Anyway here you go:

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5387323&hl=

ok bro enjoy your Seal. i will getting my seal next week. SA said the car will be ready soon. lets hope for the best and make the best memories with our hard-earned money purchase.

thanks. no wonder can't find it.
it's in the 2nd page of this topics.

which version you get?
performance?

haha no lah bro, i get premium only. i prefer the longer range than the acceleration. of coz it would be nice to have both, but since range in premium is further, so i settle for that.

It's only about 50km (-10%) less range. But with 200 more bhp (+150%)

The seal U doesn't come with performance variant else that would a perfect high performance SUV for people in rural area.

Honestly, I’m still debating between the Seal and the M3. I’ve test driven the Seal and will test drive the M3 next week.

What are other people’s thoughts between the 2?

Can i remove the speed limiter on byd seal?
