BYD Seal EV launched in Malaysia – two variants, up to 523 hp/670 Nm, 570 km range; from RM179,800

First shown here at the end of 2022, and then teased again late last year, the BYD Seal is now officially on sale in Malaysia, with Sime Darby Beyond Auto launching the electric vehicle earlier today at the TRX Exchange.

Despite earlier speculation that there would be three variants for Malaysia, the Seal makes its debut here in just two guises, as an extended range Premium and a range-topping Performance. Initially, it was intimated that the local range would follow that seen in Singapore, Thailand and Australia, but the base Dynamic has been omitted.

Let’s get to what everyone has been keenly waiting for, which is the pricing. The two Seal variants available here at the following recommended retail prices:

  • Seal Premium (Extended Range) – RM179,800; RM180,430 on-the-road without insurance
  • Seal Performance AWD – RM199,800; RM200,430 on-the-road without insurance

Designed as a premium segment competitor to the likes of the BMW i4 and the Tesla Model 3, the four-door coupe-styled sedan features a sloping roof-line and short rear deck, with a neat mix of curves and swoops giving it a sleek – if sometimes generic – profile.

It measures in at 4,800 mm long, 1,875 mm wide and 1,460 mm tall, with a 2,920 mm-long wheelbase, and sits on the automaker’s e-platform 3.0, which also underpins the Atto 3 and Dolphin EVs. Unlike its siblings, however, the Seal uses an 800V electrical architecture platform similar to higher-end EVs such as the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.

Other relevant numbers are a kerb weight of 1,922 kg for the Dynamic, 2,055 kg for the Premium and 2,185 kg for the Performance as well as 400 litres of boot space, with 50 litres available at the front.

External elements include LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED tail lights as well as retractable door handles and a panoramic roof. Both Seal variants ride on 19-inch wheels wrapped with 235/45 profile Continental EcoContact 6 Q rubbers.

The Premium features a single-motor, rear-wheel drive configuration, with 308 hp (313 PS or 230 kW) and 360 Nm on tap. It comes with a 82.5 kWh LFP Blade battery, which provides the car with up to 570 km of WLTP-rated range (650 km on NEDC).

The range-topping variant is the Performance, the only all-wheel drive variant. Its dual-motor powertrain combines a 215 hp/310 Nm front motor to a 308 hp/360 Nm rear unit to offer a total output of 523 hp (530 PS or 390 kW) and 670 Nm.

It has the same 82.5 kWh battery seen on the Premium ER, although the bump in performance means that its effective range is lower, with a quoted 520 km of WLTP-rated travel on a single charge (580 km, NEDC). Maximum speed isn’t quoted, but the single-motor Premium manages the 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.9 seconds, while the dual-motor Performance does it in 3.8 seconds.

In terms of charging, both the Premium ER and Performance AWD feature 7 kw AC Type 2 charging, and the charging time needed to get the unit from 0-100% state of charge (SoC) takes a somewhat lengthy 15.2 hours. With DC charging at a maximum rate of 150 kW, it takes 37 minutes needed to get the battery from a 10 to 80% SoC.

Inside, while there is less visual flourish on show compared to the Atto 3, the cabin presentation certainly isn’t coy-looking from a design perspective, although the Thaumas Black interior for the local car offers a more formal take. As per the general specification of the car, the upholstery on both variants is full leather, a step up from the faux leather on the omitted base variant.

Highlights include a 15.6-inch central touchscreen unit – with the usual switchable landscape/portrait orientation – and a 10.25 digital instrument panel that make up the display screens, as well as a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system.

Elsewhere, you’ll find ventilated/heated driver/passenger powered seats, dual-zone air-conditioning, a PM2.5 air filtration system, keyless entry/start, an NFC key card, head-up display, two wireless mobile device chargers and wired Apple CarPlay/wireless Android Auto connectivity, among other things.

Safety and driver assistance kit includes nine airbags (front, front and rear side, side curtain and far-side driver) as well as a comprehensive ADAS suite that includes adaptive cruise control, AEB, lane departure warning and prevention, lane keeping assist, front/rear cross-traffic alert and brake as well as high beam assist and a high-resolution 360-degree camera, among other things.

As for exterior colours, four are available for Malaysia, these being Cosmos Black, Aurora White, Atlantis Grey and Arctic Blue, the last exclusive to the Performance. The Seal comes with a six-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty, an eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty and an eight-year/150,000 km drive unit warranty. It was also announced at the launch that the first 800 buyers will enjoy a complimentary wallbox charger (supplied by EV charging subsidiary, KINETA) and free Gentari or ChargEV charging credits worth RM800.

Customers can also choose from Standard and Plus service packages, the former available priced between RM2,688 to RM8,488 depending on variant and the number of years (three, six or eight). The Plus service package is available in terms of six or eight years, with pricing from RM11,488 to RM17,688 – more items are covered compared to the Standard service package.

          Highest IQ can also be malas. You are talking cock There is no such Yahoo article and you should be sharing source of your non-existent check. Why sound so bitter and jealous of other success ? Jealous extremist puak like you claimed pro-Palestine but probably has no issue wish Pattani terrorrist killing teacher and children in Southern Thailand

      Lol, right up to late this morning, everyone thought there was going to be three variants, including the Dynamic, and so the story was prepped with details of that included. Last minute editing removed most, if not all mention and referencing earlier. The story has now been edited to reflect that.

      I think it can. Model 3 will most likely sell more, but I do think the Seal does put a fight. Tesla advantage is brand recognition and driving dynamics, but the Seal offers better overall package.

    with the removal of electricity subisidy, charging an EV at home will be costly. Hence, the reception of EV will not be very favourable. Charging outside is even more expensive. EV is not going to take off well in Malaysia. Buyers will still go back to ICE.

      Invest in roof solar power, i have on my roof. It reduce the electricity bill up to 80%. Solar panel last 25 yrs, and invertor comes with 10 yrs warranty. And the whole system pay itself back in 4 or 5 yrs times, mean next 5 years is complete free energy generation….and you be charging for free.

        Because 11kW doesn’t require a complicated DC setup to generate. AC is sufficient.

        Those commenting as such don’t know that many older houses are still running a single phase system which almost prevents an 11kW charger tapping on to the grid as it draws almost 50amps, which means you need to turn off everything else in order to charge your 11kW car, or alternatively apply for TNB permission to have a substation built for you and then have 3 phase power, costing almost 10% of the car. Worth it? Your take.

    The base spec with the asking price is quite competitive compared to model 3..maybe the adas is not up to par,7kw charging a bit of a bummer but u got quite sizable increase in battery size..u win some u lose some.20k off during sales later would make it more value for money

    Shame they stuck with slow 7kW AC charging even for the top variant when 11kW is offered in other markets. Tesla Malaysia also offers 11kW for the top variant Model 3. 11kW would almost cut AC charging time in half over 7kW.

    Super conservative black on black on black interior also cheapens the interior imo. The Atto 3 bright interior is clearly accepted by consumers, and the upcoming Chery Omoda EV also has a bright interior.

    Either way, still a lot of car and performance for the money.

    7kW AC? That is ridikulus. With 800V architecture, it should be 22kW. I dont care for those who have single phase at home. I have 3-phase. It can (I’ve checked) support for 22kW.

    800V benefits faster DC charging rather than AC. The Smart #1 is on 400V and already supports 22kW.

    That being said, it’s still embarrassing to see BYD quote 800V architecture but only accept 150kW. Meanwhile, Hyundai (350kW), Porsche (270kW), and even Tesla’s 400V (250kW) are all significantly quicker.

    But as usual with BYD, they resort to different reporting standard to make themselves look better. Most brands measure their charging speed from 10-80% and BYD uses 30-80% because…the number wouldn’t look very impressive if it was 10-80% compared to other 800V cars.

    If a brand needs to resort to different reporting standards vs their competition just to look better, you just can’t help but wonder what else is subpar that’s below the skin and not immediately noticeable to buyers.

      All the other 800v cars uses NMC battery, non using LFP. Perhaps its just LFP limitation

    If only the interior is not like a toy car… Cherry do right with the interior..Interior is not just about big screens.. the steering wheel design and middle gearbox design is important to give the feel of what kind of car your are into and pay for.. Luckily BYD get rid of the guitar string at the door though..
