BYD Sime Motors celebrates 3 years in Malaysia – over 25k cars OTR, Malaysia’s No.1 EV brand, CKD in 2026

BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia, is celebrating its third anniversary as Malaysia’s No.1 EV brand, with over 25,000 units sold to date. The company says that by choosing an EV, BYD owners have helped reduce over 62,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to planting nearly 2.5 million trees every year.

BYD’s journey here started with the Atto 3’s launch in December 2022, and since then, EVs of different shapes and sizes have followed. This year, the BYD range added the Atto 2, Seal 6 and a refreshed Seal. There’s also the M6 MPV and Sealion 7.

“This is another milestone we’re truly proud of. To now have more than 25,000 Malaysians as part of the BYD family is incredibly rewarding, and it shows how quickly the EV movement is growing in our country. Our commitment to a greener, smarter and safer driving experience has brought us here, and we’re deeply grateful for the trust Malaysians have placed in us. We’re excited to continue this journey together and to keep bringing the best products and technology to Malaysia,” said Eagle Zhao, MD of BYD Malaysia.

“In just three years, BYD has become a key pillar of Sime Motors’ automotive portfolio. We have a strong foundation to drive EV adoption through our robust sales and aftersales network, advanced facilities, and skilled EV talent. Our vehicles have transformed Malaysia’s roads, making electric mobility more accessible and practical for everyone. Thank you to all BYD owners in Malaysia for your trust and support. Exemplary ownership experience remains our top priority,” said Jeffrey Gan, MD of Southeast Asia, Sime Motors.

BYD Sime Motors’ nationwide network has 39 sales and marketing outlets and 24 aftersales service centres to date, complemented by 12 body and paint centres and a centralised parts warehouse with over 4,600 line items – the latter maintains a 94% fill rate for industry-leading repair turnaround, the company says.

Looking ahead, BYD and Sime Motors’ 2026 roadmap will focus on the establishment of CKD local assembly operations. Announced in August this year, a 600,000 sqm factory will be built in KLK TechPark, Tanjong Malim, with production set to start in the second half of 2026 – full story here.

  • byd adopts toyota strategy, always give you just enough and ride on their reputation to sell volume, only update their offerings when competitors appear, and their cars drive like a floating cloud.
