Revisions by BYD include paring the price of its Seagull hatchback to 55,800 yuan (US$7,780 or RM32,609), a 20% reduction to a model that was already the carmaker’s cheapest and one that had garnered global attention for its sub-US$10,000 price tag. The Seal dual-motor hybrid sedan saw the biggest price cut at 34%, or by 53,000 yuan to 102,800 yuan.

Expensive lor

Seagull can only drive 200km

Axia can drive 500km with cheap rm2.05 petrol,.

Seagull can only top speed 120kmh, axia can fly 180kmh

Axia got RV can sakit in car, seagull got what?

as an owner, patently false and a vast exaggeration

For that pricing almost can buy and throwaway already.

actually majority in /k only wants to know your experience with the last statement, true or not?

Kek. seal cheaper than produa Emo.

throw price wanna kill the market and they can do so

Then on LPT i was doing 160 suddenly ahsia overtake me like nothing got what hidden mod inside

Instant torque la. Got Byd ownwr said BYD acceleration macam Porche Taycan. But 10 times cheaper lol.

Slipstream and downhill

Wow, my byd seal coming. 👌

Axia owner will play high speed at lpt or plus highway

china no anti competition law ke? this is within china domestic market

.
Must also consider shipping costs and conversion costs (from LHD to RHD) when bringing it from CCP China to Malaysia, and Malaysian excise duties/taxes (no more EV tax exemption in 2026).

So, on 1 Jan 2026, the BYD Seagull from CCP China should cost about RM70k (= CKD price), compared to Perodua Axia 1.0GL Automatic at RM39k.

adrenaline and balls of steel

the car itself can't handle such speed

For one, if our government doesn't want to subsidise petrol, they should not "tax"/prevent foreign players from coming in.

will probably burn down your house before you can throw it away.

should have? but now the price war still going since like a year ago or more..every car maker out to kill each other so nobody is safe not even giant toyota

maybe ccp plan all along, give money everyone also all in make cars to filter out the capable and the useless one

but in chainah buy car mampos..price keep dropping and new tech keep coming or some even bankrupt

Skill issue

CCP dumping EV in Malaysia.

Malaysia should impose a 100% tariff on China EV 🤬
