Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the RM15,800 step from the RM100,000 Dynamic buys a 215-hp, 330-Nm rear motor rather than 129 hp and 220 Nm, cutting the 0-100 km/h time from 10.9 to 7.5 seconds. It also brings 18-inch wheels, a panoramic tilt-and-slide sunroof and ambient lighting. Yet both retain the same 56.64-kWh battery, 410-km range, 100-kW DC charging and full core safety kit. The Dynamic is the sensible pick if pace is not a priority; the Premium is the one to get if you will use its much stronger acceleration regularly.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 Dynamic if you want the same 410-km range, charging hardware and safety equipment for RM15,800 less.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 Premium if 7.5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, a panoramic sunroof and 18-inch wheels justify the extra outlay.
