    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.
