Furthermore, with the comprehensive BYD network coverage across all regions, ensuring excellent service for all customers, it underscores our customers' confidence in BYD's products in Malaysia. This reaffirms our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality vehicles and unparalleled customer service."

“Thanks to the strong demand for BYD SEAL, we are extending our early bird offer, allowing even more customers to take advantage of our exceptional value proposition. Together with BYD, SDM aims to continue setting the benchmark for excellence in the EV sector and industry at large, and further stimulate the EV appeal among Malaysians nationwide."

Mr. Calvin Poh, one of the customers who not only participated in the test drive but also proceeded to place a booking, shared his experience, “The BYD SEAL design was very appealing, compared to electric sedans of the same price range. The build quality and the interior were very impressive and premium. The driving experience during the test drive was so quiet and refined that I decided afterwards this is the EV that I want to buy.”
