BYD Seal 6 EV Malaysia: Electric sedan with up to 215hp, over 400km range, starts at RM100k

BYD Seal 6 EV is now officially available in Malaysia. This is the first time that the electric sedan is released outside of China.

As per what we have reported numerous times before, the Seal 6 EV for the Malaysia and other international markets is not the same version that was released in China. Instead, ours was actually known as Qin L EV over there – a different model but shared so many similarities with the Chinese Domestic Market’s (CDM) variant of Seal 6 EV.

So, don’t be shocked if you Google for Seal 6 EV and saw the CDM version which features the same front design as per the Seal that is available in Malaysia. The front design of the Seal 6 EV for the international market is closer to the design that was also used on Atto 2 (Yuan Up) and Atto 3 (Yuan Plus) – something almost all BYD Dynasty series models, just like the Qin L EV, have in common.
