After the successful debut of the BYD Seal earlier this year, with over 2,200 units registered by the end of August 2024, Sime Darby Motors, the official distributor of BYD in Malaysia, has introduced the new BYD Seal Dynamic RWD variant. This addition completes the lineup alongside the existing Premium and Performance models, offering more options for Malaysian consumers seeking electric sedans with a blend of style, technology, and performance.
BYD Seal Dynamic RWD: Features and Pricing
The BYD Seal Dynamic RWD is available in two sleek colour options: Cosmos Black and Aurora White. While pricing starts from a competitive RM163,800, the first 100 bookings come with a complimentary Wall Box Home Charger, adding extra value for early customers.
The new Dynamic RWD variant is backed by an extensive warranty package, including a 6-year or 150,000 km vehicle warranty, an 8-year or 160,000 km high-voltage battery warranty, and an 8-year or 150,000 km drive unit warranty, offering customers peace of mind.
For those seeking an affordable yet advanced electric sedan, the BYD Seal Dynamic RWD provides cutting-edge technology with a stylish design. The Seal lineup also includes the RWD Premium variant, starting at RM179,800, offering a balance between performance and range, and the AWD Performance variant, tailored for driving enthusiasts, starting at RM199,800.
Design and Technology Highlights
The BYD Seal Dynamic RWD showcases an aerodynamic coupe-like silhouette that’s both eye-catching and efficient. Its Ocean Aesthetics design has won accolades, including the iF Design Award, and it was named a Top 3 finalist in the 2024 World Car of the Year Awards. Additionally, it has been recognised locally, winning Electric Performance Sedan of the Year at the VOTY 2024 awards.
While the entire Seal range shares a similar design language, the Dynamic RWD variant stands out with a new rim design. Inside, the car boasts a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen that integrates the BYD App and voice command features. A premium 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system and an advanced PM2.5 filtration system further enhance the cabin experience.
The BYD Seal Dynamic RWD prioritizes safety with a five-star ANCAP safety rating, the innovative Blade Battery technology, and nine airbags. All variants come equipped with BYD’s ADAS suite and a 360-degree camera system, ensuring optimal safety and driver confidence.
