【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.

Tesla Model Y L Launched in China, to Be Exported to Australia and Other Markets Next Year

JohnAug 19, 2025, 04:39 PM

[PCauto] On August 19, 2025, Tesla officially launched the all-new Model Y L in the Chinese market, with a starting price of 339,000 CNY (approximately 1,534,000 THB / 200,000 MYR). Designed specifically for the Chinese market as a flagship SUV, the Model Y L is positioned between the Model Y and Model X, featuring a three-row, six-seat layout.

The vehicle is expected to begin deliveries in September 2025 and is likely to be exported to international markets such as Australia in the future. This launch comes at a critical time when Tesla aims to address declining sales in China during the first half of the year. The Model Y L is intended to attract families by offering enhanced space and upgraded range capabilities.

Model Y L is the extended version of the Model Y

In terms of exterior design, the Model Y L retains Tesla’s family design language but has significantly increased dimensions. The vehicle’s dimensions are as follows:

Length: 4976mm

Width: 1920mm

Height: 1668mm

Wheelbase: 3040mm

Compared to the current Model Y, the body is 179mm longer, and the wheelbase is extended by 150mm.

The front features a continuous light strip with split headlights, while the B-pillar to C-pillar side windows are elongated. The waistline subtly rises in the rear half, maintaining the fastback design.

At the rear, the “Y” badge is accompanied by two shadow lines, indicating its extended version identity.

The roofline has been optimized, with a drag coefficient as low as 0.216, and the newly designed spoiler enhances the sporty feel. These modifications not only improve visual fullness but also provide more interior space.

Model Y L offers a 3-row 6-seat layout

The interior and space are the core highlights of the Model Y L. The new car adopts a “2+2+2” six-seat layout, with the second row featuring independent electric seats that support multi-directional adjustment, heating, and ventilation functions. The third-row seats can be electrically folded.

In terms of space performance, the third-row headroom is approximately 95cm, and legroom clearance is about 20cm, suitable for children or emergency use. The trunk volume is 353L with all three rows in use, expanding to 2158L when the third row is folded down, capable of accommodating two 24-inch and one 20-inch suitcases

Tesla officially emphasized that the optimized roof structure and a 20mm lateral space expansion allow passengers as tall as 187cm to sit comfortably. The total storage space is 2539L, and the trunk cover design is unique, supporting space transformation, with a magnetic feature for vertical storage.

In terms of intelligent technology, the Model Y L comes standard with the HW4.0 chip, supporting the storm vision mode and FSD functions, covering highway navigation and automatic parking, though city NOA is not yet available. The in-car system is upgraded to a 15.4-inch central control screen and a rear 8-inch entertainment screen, powered by AMD chips.

Other upgrades include a 16-inch central touch screen (30% resolution improvement), a wireless charging pad for the front seats (supports 50W+30W fast charging with air-cooled heat dissipation), and a brand-new sound system that adds a central armrest speaker and dual speakers on top.

Powertrain continues Tesla’s high-performance standards

The Model Y L is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, with a maximum power of 340kW (462 horsepower), achieving 0-100km/h acceleration in just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 201km/h. Paired with an 82kWh ternary lithium battery, it can achieve a maximum range of 751km.

The chassis is equipped with CDC continuously variable damping shock absorbers, significantly improving vibration filtering performance, and offering stronger high-speed driving support.

China market is one of Tesla’s few opportunities

Tesla’s sales have declined in most global regions. However, the decline in China is the smallest. In the first half of 2025, Tesla’s total sales in the Chinese market reached 263,400 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of about 5.4% compared to 278,300 vehicles in the same period the previous year. This is much better than the declines in Europe (down 33%) and the North American market (down 9%).

Tesla understands very well that the Chinese market is one of its few opportunities. Even though the Chinese market has strong competitors like Li Auto, AITO, and Xpeng, the Model Y L needs to establish competitiveness in China first before it can help Tesla recover sales in other countries and regions.
