Is the Ford Ranger V6 about to enter Malaysia?

[PCauto] Sime Darby Auto Connexion (SDAC) Ford, the official importer and distributor of Ford vehicles in Malaysia, has recently released a mysterious teaser. Based on the teaser image and available information, the market speculates that the new model could be an all-new variant of the Ford Ranger V6.

In other words, the new Ranger Wildtrak powered by a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine will make its official debut in the Malaysian market on August 23. Marketed under the slogan “Power Redefined,” this high-performance pickup is set to fill a gap in the local market for powerful diesel pickups.

Powertrain Performance as the Ford Ranger V6’s Key Highlight

The model is equipped with a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel engine producing 250 PS (246 HP) and 600 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system.

This powertrain has already been proven in the Thai market, with its low-end, high-torque characteristics—delivering peak torque from as low as 1,750 rpm—making it particularly well-suited for the diverse and often challenging road conditions in Southeast Asia. For reference, the model is priced at THB 1,519,000 in Thailand (approximately RM197,118).

From a features standpoint, the Ranger Wildtrak V6 will be positioned as the flagship variant. Exterior highlights include adaptive matrix LED headlights, 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels (fitted with 255/65 tyres), and a prominent “V6” badge on the vehicle’s sides.

In terms of practicality, it retains useful features such as a 12V/230V power outlet in the cargo bed and an assisted tailgate. Inside, the 12.4-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, synthetic leather-wrapped eight-way power-adjustable seats, and independent air-conditioning for both front and rear rows further underscore its premium positioning.

It is worth noting that the current Ranger lineup in Malaysia is limited to the 2.0L EcoBlue four-cylinder diesel engine—available in single-turbo (170 PS/405 Nm) and bi-turbo (210 PS/500 Nm) configurations—and the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 petrol engine in the Ranger Raptor. The introduction of the Wildtrak V6 not only broadens the product range but also delivers a performance edge over its rival, the Toyota Hilux GR-S.

Although diesel vehicle sales in Malaysia have recently declined due to adjustments in the fuel subsidy policy, the Ranger Wildtrak V6—thanks to its unique performance positioning—still has the potential to attract professional users and performance enthusiasts.

Compared with the current Wildtrak 2.0 Bi-Turbo diesel variant priced at RM171,888, the V6 version is expected to be priced close to the RM200,000 mark.

As the launch date approaches, more details on localized specifications and final pricing will be gradually revealed. The arrival of this V6-powered beast is set to reshape the competitive landscape of Malaysia’s high-performance pickup market, while offering consumers a broader range of choices. For pickup enthusiasts in pursuit of extreme performance, the official debut on August 23 is certainly an event worth anticipating.

DENZA D9 Promotion Launched as BYD Hits 20,000 Sales in Malaysia

RobertAug 12, 2025, 04:38 PM

【PCauto】Chinese automaker BYD and its premium sub-brand DENZA have surpassed a combined sales milestone of 20,000 units in Malaysia. This achievement cements BYD Group’s position as the best-selling electric vehicle brand in Malaysia for three consecutive years.

In the first half of this year, BYD’s total sales reached 6,015 units

According to sales data from January to June 2025, the BYD brand sold 6,015 vehicles, with the Sealion 7 leading at 1,960 units, followed closely by the popular Atto 3 with 1,701 units sold. Meanwhile, the premium brand DENZA contributed 615 units to the total.

BYD’s Best-Selling Model in Malaysia

As BYD’s top-selling model in Malaysia, the Sealion 7 primarily competes with the Tesla Model Y. Measuring 4,830 mm in length, 1,925 mm in width, 1,620 mm in height, and with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm, the Sealion 7 offers advantages over the Tesla Model Y in all these dimensions.

The interior design and features of the BYD Sealion 7 are more comprehensive compared to the Model Y. The Sealion 7 is equipped with a 15.6-inch intelligent rotating touchscreen and 12 DYNAUDIO-branded speakers, delivering an outstanding entertainment experience.

Regarding seating, the BYD Sealion 7 offers 8-way power adjustment for the driver’s seat, while the front passenger and rear seats support 6-way power adjustment, ensuring comfort during long drives. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with convenient features such as automatic climate control, a power sunroof, and automatic windshield wipers, enhancing the overall driving experience.

Currently, the BYD Sealion 7 is available in two versions: Premium and Performance. The Premium version is priced at RM 183,800, while the Performance version retails for RM 199,800.

The Premium model features a single rear-mounted electric motor, delivering 313 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 6.7 seconds.

The Performance variant is equipped with dual motors at the front and rear, producing a combined output of 530 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque, achieving 0–100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.

To celebrate the milestone, BYD is offering special promotions

In August, DENZA is launching a limited-time campaign for the D9 model.

Customers who purchase the D9 during this period will receive an exclusive gift package worth 5,000 MYR, including premium interior upgrades and other luxury features.

As DENZA’s flagship model, the D9 excels in product features. It comes equipped with second-row business-class seats that support a 10-point massage function and feature individual touchscreens. Additionally, the vehicle includes an onboard refrigerator and a 15.6-inch central touchscreen.

The powertrain features a 103.6 kWh blade battery pack, with the front-wheel-drive version offering an NEDC range of up to 600 kilometers. The all-wheel-drive variant delivers a maximum output of 374 horsepower. Currently, the model is priced starting from 259,000 MYR in the Malaysian market.

BYD Plans to Further Boost Brand Sales

In April 2025, DENZA ranked third in Malaysia’s electric vehicle market with sales of 157 units, surpassing competitors such as the Xpeng X9 and Zeekr 009.

To support ongoing sales growth, BYD’s dealer network in Malaysia plans to expand its service outlets to 60 locations by 2026, enhancing after-sales support capabilities.

From August 20 to 24, DENZA will hold roadshow events at showrooms in four major Malaysian cities, including IOI City Mall, allowing more consumers to experience the D9 model up close.

BYD Group’s success in the Malaysian market can be attributed not only to its comprehensive product lineup but also to its localized marketing strategies. With the continuous improvement of electric vehicle infrastructure, Malaysia is poised to become a key electric vehicle market in Southeast Asia.
