Sime Darby Motors, the official distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia, today unveiled the highly anticipated BYD M6, the all-electric 7-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) set to transform family travel. The launch marks another milestone in Malaysia’s journey towards sustainable mobility, offering families a spacious, comfortable, safe and eco-friendly alternative in the increasingly popular electric vehicle (EV) segment.

Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Sime Darby Motors, Southeast Asia, said, “Leveraging our deep understanding of the local market and Malaysian family needs, the introduction of the BYD M6 serves to bridge the gap between eco-conscious driving and the practical needs of larger families. With the BYD M6, we are not only offering a sustainable transport solution, but also redefining what families can expect from an electric vehicle in terms of space, versatility and advanced features.”

Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia added, “BYD is committed to bringing new products to Malaysia, meeting the diverse needs of customers. The BYD M6 is our latest offering, designed specifically for family-oriented customers. It stands out as an electric MPV, delivering a unique driving experience and comfort that sets it apart from other MPVs. This model comes equipped with advanced safety features, which are essential for a family vehicle, ensuring peace of mind during every journey.”

Unrivalled Space and Versatility for Modern Families

The BYD M6 stands out with its 7-seater configuration, offering ample legroom and headroom across all rows. The innovative design allows for flexible seating arrangements, with foldable second and third-row seats that create a completely flat load area, expanding the 580-litre boot space. This versatility makes the BYD M6 ideal for everything from daily school runs to extended family vacations.

Advanced Entertainment, Comfort For All

The BYD M6’s exterior reflects BYD’s dedication to sophisticated design, featuring the aerodynamic Dragon Face styling that optimizes airflow while offering a sleek, modern look. Inside, the vehicle is equipped with a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen powered by the BYD Di-Link System, seamlessly integrating Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto for a fully connected driving experience. Rear passengers are also well-accommodated with multiple charging ports, ensuring devices stay powered throughout longer journeys. For those who enjoy singing on the go, the BYD M6 supports a Karaoke microphone feature, offering an entertaining experience with full access to lyrics when the vehicle is stationary—perfect for family trips or breaks during long drives. This feature is available as an optional accessory for purchase.

 

Additionally, the BYD M6 comes equipped with Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capabilities, which function as a mobile power station. This feature is perfect for local outings like family picnics or for owners who wish to power their mobile business without the need for a power generator, be it in the food or service industry. Each socket includes overload protection, ensuring safe use in various situations, from outdoor adventures to everyday needs.

Advanced Technology & Performance with Extended Range

The BYD M6 rides on 17-inch alloy wheels paired with 225/55 R17 tyres. Under the hood, the BYD M6 is powered by an electric motor producing 310 Nm of torque, delivering NEDC-rated range of up to 530 km on a single charge for the Extended variant and 420 km for the Standard variant. Its battery not only supports long-distance travel but also features DC fast-charging capability, significantly reducing downtime at charging stations. Home charging with an AC power source fulfils customers’ needs for everyday use, while the fast-charging feature is a key advantage for frequent travellers.

The BYD M6 supports the NFC Digital Key function, allowing users to easily and securely lock, unlock and start their car with a compatible* smartphone or wearable device. Even if their smartphone is out of network or has a low battery, users can still access their car with a simple tap, ensuring a seamless and convenient driving experience. Terms and conditions apply.*

Uncompromising Safety for Every Journey

Safety is paramount in the BYD M6, with both variants equipped with a comprehensive suite of features, including a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), ISOFIX child restraint anchorage points, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electric Parking Brake (EPB), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Traction Control System (TCS). These systems are all designed to enhance stability and control, ensuring a secure drive. Additionally, the 360° view monitor, rear radars, auto hold, and cruise control offer enhanced visibility and ease during every journey.

The extended variant elevates safety further with additional features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), Front and Rear Collision Warning (FCW, RCW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Lane Departure Assist (LDA). Both variants come equipped with 6 airbags, offering comprehensive protection for all occupants.

A standout safety feature of the BYD M6 is its ultra-safe Blade Battery, known for its resilience, durability, and high safety standards. This proprietary battery system is designed to withstand high impacts, providing added protection during collisions and making it one of the safest battery systems available on the market.

The Blade Battery has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. During the nail penetration test, a blade cell was punctured, yet it neither smoked nor caught fire, with the temperature remaining between 30 to 60 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the Blade Battery cells have withstood extreme conditions such as compression, bending, heating up to 300 degrees in a furnace, and overcharging by 260% without causing a fire or explosion. These features make the Blade Battery a key component in ensuring the safety of every journey in the BYD M6. [Watch the nail penetration test video here.]

BYD’s Commitment to Exceptional Customer Service

BYD has established itself as the No.1 Electric Vehicle Brand in Malaysia, and this success is largely attributed to its strong focus on network development and customer experience. The introduction of the BYD M6 follows the recent launches of BYD’s two latest showrooms in Kayu Ara and Skudai, bringing BYD’s extensive network of showrooms and service centres across Malaysia to 26 outlets to date. With plans to expand to over 30 outlets by the end of 2024, customers can be rest assured that support is always within reach. BYD also offers industry-leading service packages and innovative digital solutions, including the user-friendly BYD app, enabling customers to easily locate service centres and even unlock their cars. This comprehensive approach to customer care ensures that families can embark on their journeys with confidence, knowing that BYD’s support is just a touch away.

The BYD M6 launch event, held at Dataran Karnival Shah Alam, was graced by Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Sime Darby Motors, Southeast Asia, Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz, Managing Director of Vantage Malaysia, Sime Darby Motors and Adeline Lew, General Manager of Sime Darby Beyond Auto.

The BYD M6 is available in four stylish colourways: Crystal White, Ink Stone Blue, Cosmos Black and Harbour Grey. For the Standard variant, the price is RM109,800, while for the Extended variant, the price is RM123,800. Additionally, the BYD M6 comes with an extensive warranty package for added peace of mind. This includes 6 years or 150,000 kilometers for the vehicle, 8 years or 160,000 kilometers with a State of Health (SOH) above 70% for the battery warranty and 8 years or 150,000 kilometers for the drive unit.

The launch of the BYD M6 comes with exclusive early-bird offers for the first 300 bookings of extended variant nationwide to receive a complimentary Home Charger. Additionally, the first 100 customers who book any variant of BYD M6 at the event-exclusive launch at Dataran Karnival Shah Alam will receive a RM800 charging credit, making this a perfect opportunity to enjoy added convenience and savings.

Besides these launch-specific benefits, BYD is offering a Year-End Sales Campaign for other models. Customers can take advantage of interest rates as low as 0.88%, a 3-year standard service package, free road tax, a home charger, and a special rebate if they register their vehicle before the end of the month.
