Verdict
The BYD Seal 6 costs RM6,800 less at RM100,000, yet brings a 56.64-kWh battery, 410 km claimed range and 100-kW DC charging. Its 2,820-mm wheelbase is 100 mm longer than the Jetour Dashing’s, although the SUV has a 26-litre larger boot and five doors. The Seal 6 is the stronger equipment-led choice, adding autonomous braking, six airbags, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. Pick the Dashing if a petrol SUV body, 57-litre tank, 486-litre boot and locally assembled CKD status matter more than EV running hardware and driver assistance.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 if you want 410 km of EV range, 100-kW DC charging and substantially more active-safety equipment for RM6,800 less.
Pick the Jetour Dashing if you need a five-door petrol SUV with a 486-litre boot, 57-litre fuel tank and 18-inch wheels.
