  • BYD Accelerates Nationwide Expansion with New EV Showrooms and Service Hubs

    BYD Accelerates Nationwide Expansion with New EV Showrooms and Service Hubs

    PETALING JAYA, 6 March 2026 – BYD Sime Motors continues to solidify its leadership in Malaysia’s electric vehicle market through rapid infrastructure expansion and strong sales momentum. The company has established over 40 showrooms nationwide and is on track to operate 34 aftersales touchpoints by 2026, reflecting a strategic push to strengthen both retail and service capabilities.

    This growth comes on the back of impressive performance figures, with 14,407 vehicles delivered in 2025, marking a 68% year-on-year increase. The brand’s customer base has grown rapidly, achieving its first 10,000 customers in 20 months and doubling that figure in just 13 months. BYD has also climbed the rankings to become Malaysia’s sixth best-selling car brand and the fourth among non-national marques.

    With continued investments in facilities, talent development through the BYD Academy, and a centralised parts distribution system, the company is addressing key barriers to EV adoption such as maintenance concerns and service accessibility. As competition intensifies, BYD’s integrated ecosystem positions it strongly to lead the next phase of Malaysia’s EV transition.

  • BYD Sime Motors Marks Major Achievement, Exceeding 25,000 BYD Customers in Three Years as Malaysia’s Top EV Brand

    BYD Sime Motors Marks Major Achievement, Exceeding 25,000 BYD Customers in Three Years as Malaysia’s Top EV Brand

    BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia, proudly marks its third anniversary as the nation’s leading EV brand, celebrating over 25,000 BYD vehicles on Malaysian roads. These cars not only provide mobility but also represent more than 25,000 Malaysian families actively contributing to a greener, more sustainable society. Collectively, BYD owners help reduce over 62,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to planting nearly 2.5 million trees each year, enough to circle Malaysia’s coastline more than six times. This remarkable achievement highlights the significant environmental impact of BYD’s electric vehicles nationwide.

    Boasting the largest fully electric portfolio in Malaysia, BYD Sime Motors has launched seven models to date, led by the popular BYD ATTO 3, the volume leader in the C-segment SUV category. In 2025, the lineup expanded further with the introduction of BYD ATTO 2 and BYD SEAL 6, alongside a refreshed BYD SEAL. From entry-level sedans to premium SUVs and MPVs, BYD continues to meet the evolving demands of Malaysian drivers, offering vehicles that blend advanced technology, safety, and affordability.

    Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, commented, “This milestone is a true reflection of the rapid growth of the EV movement in Malaysia. Having over 25,000 Malaysians in the BYD family demonstrates the trust and enthusiasm for sustainable mobility. We remain committed to delivering a greener, smarter, and safer driving experience for all.” Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Southeast Asia, Sime Motors, added, “BYD has become a cornerstone of Sime Motors’ portfolio in just three years. Our extensive sales and aftersales network ensures an exemplary ownership experience, making EVs accessible and practical for Malaysian drivers.”

    Supporting this growth is BYD Sime Motors’ nationwide infrastructure, which includes 39 sales outlets, 24 aftersales centres, 12 authorised body and paint centres, and a centralised parts warehouse maintaining a 94% fill rate. More than 1,000 employees are trained at BYD’s dedicated Training Centre, upholding high technical and service standards. Looking ahead, BYD Sime Motors plans to expand its network, integrate advanced technologies, and establish local CKD assembly operations in 2026 to create sustainable value and employment opportunities.

    With the year-end deadline for full tax exemptions on fully imported EVs approaching, BYD Sime Motors is inviting customers to take advantage of exclusive promotions, offering up to RM20,000 in savings on selected models. This makes now the perfect opportunity for Malaysians to switch to electric and join the country’s leading EV brand.
