BYD Seal Performance Day held in Malaysia to show off versatility and capabilities of top-selling EV sedan

To showcase the versatility and capabilities of the BYD Seal, BYD Sime Motors recently hosted members of the media to experience the top-spec Performance variant of the brand’s fully electric model, which was also the best-selling electric sedan in 2024.

The BYD Seal Performance Day kicked off with a convoy drive from Bamboo Hills in Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya before proceeding towards the Petronas Sepang International Circuit (SIC). Along the way, multiple driver changes were done so everyone could experience the Seal Performance’s efficient dual-motor powertrain on highways.

Arriving at Sepang, members of the media were treated to a drifting demonstration where the Seal Performance’s 530 PS (523 hp and 390 kW) and 670 Nm of torque were put to good use sliding around the dynamic area of the SIC Driving Experience Centre. There was even a Seal acting as a mobile power bank for a mobile cafe by supplying power through its vehicle-to-load (V2L) system.

A challenging gymkhana course was also set up for attendees to try out the Seal’s dynamic abilities first-hand. Continental Tyres Malaysia (CTM) supported the event by providing its EcoContact 6Q tyres, which are specifically designed with electric vehicles (EVs) in mind. Incorporating the brand’s Green Chilli 2.0 compound, it offers reduced rolling resistance, extended range as well as exceptional performance in both wet and dry conditions.

“The event highlighted the BYD Seal’s position as a game changer in the EV market, combining cutting-edge technology with thrilling performance. Participants experienced first-hand how the BYD Seal’s engineering excellence caters to both performance enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers,” the company wrote in its official release.
