KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 — BYD Qin L EV is coming soon to Malaysia. This is based on the new teaser that BYD Sime Mot...

BYD has brought the Seal 06 DM-i hybrid sedan to Europe, including its wagon variant, renamed as the Seal 6 DM-i and Seal 6 DM-i Touring respectively.

Chinese automaker BYD announced on Monday it sold 373,626 vehicles in August, of which 371,501 were passenger vehicles — up by 8.9% from a month before.

BYD has reduced the price of its Qin L EV by RMB 10,000 ($1,400) and introduced a new variant equipped with the DiSus-C body control system.

Overall, BYD's sales are driven by product. New product is taking over while older product falls back. While Black PR has likely had some temporary effect, strong product tends to overcome it in the long term. Last year, BYD had stronger PHEV product introductions and sales. This year, BEV has had stronger product introductions and sales. It is hard to be sure what next year will bring. More effort might go to product for outside markets, with growth shifting accordingly. But with over 120,000 R&D engineers and more EV intellectual property than anyone, I would bet that the long-term "peak" is a far down the road.

The upgrade targets BYD’s fifth-generation DM 5.0 platform, rolling out via OTA updates as the company looks to stem pressure from falling plug-in hybrid sales and an intensifying EV price war.

BYD has reduced fuel consumption of its fifth-generation DM hybrid tech to just 2.6 liters per 100 km when the battery is depleted.

BYD has continued to push the boundaries of competitive electrical and hybrid vehicle technology that is sold at an affordable and entry-level price.

BYD is offering rebates to its dealers in China of RMB 666 ($93) per vehicle, according to a local media report.

The Seal 06 EV is BYD's latest affordable electric sedan, with a range of up to 545 km.
