Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The BYD M6 is a seven-seat C-segment electric MPV for buyers who need more seats than a typical SUV without stepping into the far pricier electric-MPV bracket. Launched in 2024 in Mk2 facelift form, it starts from RM109,800 with a 55.4 kWh battery, 420 km range and a 161 hp electric motor.

M6 in 2026 — what's new

The Malaysian BYD M6 carries into 2026 unchanged from the 2024 Mk2 facelift, with Standard Range and Extended Range seven-seat electric variants. A 2026 Indonesian reveal introduces the M6 DM, a separate plug-in hybrid rather than an update to Malaysia’s electric M6. It uses a 99 PS 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine and has different exterior treatment, including a large grille and SUV styling.

Which variant to buy

Most private buyers should take the RM109,800 Standard Range. Its 420 km figure, 161 hp motor and seven seats cover the essentials while keeping RM14,000 in hand. Pay RM123,800 for the Extended Range only if its 530 km range is useful in your routine or you want the 201 hp motor. The larger 71.8 kWh battery is the substantive upgrade. Both use a single-ratio automatic and have seven seats.

Verdict

The M6 makes a very direct case: it supplies seven seats and up to 530 km of range at a price far below the Maxus MIFA 9, Xpeng X9 and Denza D9, all of which begin above RM269,000. Interest was immediate, with nearly 1,000 Malaysian orders in its first month and the model leading EV sales in November 2024. Choose battery capacity around real trips, because that is the key mechanical divide.
