Maju Motors Sdn Bhd, the authorised distributor of BYD, launched the BYD Sealion 6 yesterday. Some 131 units of this plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) have already been sold in the local market.
The launch event, held at the Maju Motors showroom, was attended by over 300 guests, including new BYD Sealion 6 owners and representatives from financial institutions.
Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Brunei Darussalam Shi Rongke along with Maju Motors Managing Director Chan Key Hong and Executive Director Stanley Lim attended the event.
The BYD Sealion 6 offers a compelling solution for cost-effective, long-distance travel. With a battery capacity of 18.3kWh, it can travel up to 100 kilometres on electric power alone.
Its 60-litre fuel tank, coupled with the efficient Super DM-i technology, extends the total range to over 1,100 kilometres. This technology allows the electric motor to power the vehicle, with the engine acting as a range extender to recharge the battery as needed.
BYD Sealion 6 represents the next generation of sustainable transportation, combining innovation, performance and environmental responsibility. This PHEV offers unparalleled efficiency, advanced safety features and a smooth driving experience.
Managing Director Chan expressed his excitement about the launch of the BYD Sealion 6 and the introduction of DM-i technology to Brunei. He highlighted the company’s commitment to providing economical and sustainable transportation solutions. Maju Motors is also planning to introduce additional BYD PHEV models in the coming years, including the BYD Shark, BYD Sealion 05 and BYD Seal 06.
During the launch event, one owner of a BYD Sealion 6, Wardah Serkat, won a lifetime free servicing. She expressed her excitement at winning the prize and shared she chose the car for its fuel efficiency and long-distance capabilities. – James Kon
