Remember the entry-level BYD Seal that got pulled on the last minute? Well, distributor Sime Darby Beyond Auto is finally introducing that model – the Dynamic Standard Range – on September 6, lowering the starting price of what’s already Malaysia’s best-selling electric vehicle.
As befits its role as the bottom variant, the Dynamic may have the least power and torque within the Seal lineup, in addition to the shortest range. That’s to not say that it’s a poor relation – utilising the identical motor because the Atto 3 Prolonged Range and Dolphin Premium Prolonged Range (albeit mounted on the rear), it still puts out 204 PS (150 kW) and 310 Nm of torque, enabling it to speed up from zero to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds.
Meanwhile, its smaller 61.4 kWh Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery provides a WLTP-rated range of 460 km, versus 570 km for the 313 PS/360 Nm Premium and 520 km for the 530 PS/670 Nm Performance AWD with the 82.5 kWh pack. As per the opposite models, the Dynamic supports as much as 7 kW of AC charging – delivering a full charge in 8.6 hours – but only 110 kW of DC fast charging as a substitute of 150 kW.
Except for the lower outputs and smaller battery, the teaser also confirms the Dynamic will get the smaller of the 2 available wheels, measuring 18 inches in diameter. Expect the remaining of the equipment list to be pared back to lower the starting price still further, although judging by the proven fact that the Premium and Performance offer the exact same specs, the Dynamic should still be fairly well-equipped.
Speaking of the worth, there’s no information on that front as yet. Nonetheless, provided that there’s a RM20,000 gap between the RM179,800 Premium and the RM199,800 Performance (each figures are nett, not on-the-road), we should always expect the identical between the Dynamic and Premium, meaning that this automobile could retail at under the RM150,000 mark.
