Verdict
For Malaysian buyers, the RM100,000 Atto 2 is the quicker, more compact choice: its 174 hp and 290 Nm motor delivers 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, and its 4,310-mm body is 410 mm shorter. The Seal 6 trades that punch for 410 km of range, a 56.64-kWh battery and 100-kW DC charging, against 345 km, 51.1 kWh and 82 kW. Its 460-litre boot also carries 80 litres more. Pick the SUV for performance and shorter dimensions; take the sedan for distance and luggage room.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if you want 174 hp, a 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time and a 4,310-mm five-door SUV body.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 if 410 km range, 100-kW DC charging, a 460-litre boot and rear air-con vents matter more than acceleration.
