RobertSep 26, 2024, 11:15 AM
On September 25, the 9-millionth new energy vehicle off-line ceremony of BYD, an electrification automaker from China, was held at the Shenshan factory in China. The offline model is the million-class RMB pure electric performance supercar YANGWANG U9. It is worth mentioning that BYD is the first automaker in the world to reach the 9 millionth electrification vehicle offline, and it is only a little more than 2 months after the 8 millionth electrification vehicle went offline, which shows the outstanding capacity speed and sales performance of the BYD factories.
YANGWANG U9 is the first mass-produced model in China to use carbon fiber body structure components, using the largest single-body shell carbon cabin in the world. The carbon fiber material used has a strength of 5 to 6 times that of steel. In terms of power, it will be equipped with a four-motor system, the maximum power of the four motors is all 240kW, and the combined power is 960kW, that is, 1306 horsepower, peak torque 1680N·m, 0-100km/h acceleration 2.36 seconds, 0-400 meters acceleration 9.78 seconds, and the top speed 309km/h.
As one of the important measures for Malaysia to achieve the zero carbon emission target by 2050, the government strongly encourages the development of the electrification automobile industry. From January 1, 2022, a series of tax concessions for imported and locally assembled pure electric vehicles will be introduced, specifically including: exempting import and domestic taxes on imported pure electric vehicles; exempting domestic taxes and sales taxes on locally assembled pure electric vehicles, and exempting import taxes on their parts. BYD officially entered the Malaysian passenger car market as early as December 2022, launching the BYD ATTO 3 electric vehicle model locally.
BYD currently sells six models in Malaysia, respectively BYD E6, BYD Bao 5, BYD TANG, BYD ATTO 3, BYD Dolphin and BYD Seal, with all local sales handled by Sime Darby Beyond Auto (SDBA).

Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
