Great news for all BYD fans! Sime Darby Motors has just confirmed that the highly anticipated BYD M6 electric MPV will be officially launched in Malaysia on 15 October 2024. This exciting electric MPV will soon join BYD’s expanding lineup in Malaysia, which includes popular models like the Atto 3, Dolphin, and Seal. But before you take the plunge, here are some key things to know.
Configurations: Choosing Between 6-Seater and 7-Seater
When considering the BYD M6 for your family, one of the first things you’ll want to decide is the seating configuration. The M6 offers a choice between a 6-seater (2+2+2) or a 7-seater (2+3+2) setup, making it perfect for families or group travelers. If you often travel with extended family or friends, the 7-seater may offer more flexibility. But for those who prioritize more space and comfort for fewer passengers, the 6-seater is an excellent option.

Charging Capabilities: Speed and Convenience
One of the great things about the BYD M6 is its fast and versatile charging options. Both variants support DC fast charging—115kW for the higher-spec model and 89kW for the lower-spec version. This means less waiting around at charging stations when you’re on the road.
For at-home charging, the M6 is equipped with a 7kW single-phase onboard charger, making it ideal for overnight charging. Before purchasing, consider whether your home setup is ready for EV charging, or talk to RExharge about getting an efficient home charging station installed.
Size and Space: Perfect for Families
The BYD M6 has been designed with families in mind. It’s 4710mm long, 1810mm wide, and 1690mm tall, which makes it slightly bigger than the new Perodua Alza providing space. The 2800mm wheelbase ensures that passengers have plenty of legroom, even on long drives.
Inside, the M6 is packed with family-friendly features, including a 12.8″ rotating touchscreen with Apple CarPlay for seamless connectivity. Safety is a priority too, with a full suite of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and door open warnings to keep your loved ones safe.
Extra Features: Making Every Drive Enjoyable
Before you buy, consider all the extra features the BYD M6 has to offer. From a wireless phone charger to ventilated front seats and a panoramic glass roof, the M6 is built for comfort and convenience. Plus, if you enjoy outdoor adventures, the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature is a game-changer. It allows you to use the car’s battery to power gadgets and appliances while camping or off the grid.
