On July 21, BYD launched the all-electric MPV named BYD M6 at the 31st GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). It is reported that the M6 model is the first MPV model BYD has launched in the Indonesian market, and also the first all-electric MPV in the local markets. BYD M6 offers three versions: standard 7-seats, premium 7-seats, and premium 6-seats. The price ranges from 379 million to 429 million Indonesian Rupiah (approximately 23,400 to 26,500 US dollars).
The BYD M6 comes standard with 55.4kWh and 71.8kWh BYD blade batteries, with NEDC ranges of 420km and 530km respectively. Under the quick charge of 115kW power, it can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in 40 minutes.
Zhao Ying, general manager of BYD Indonesia, said that the launch of M6 demonstrates BYD's focus on the Indonesian market, and it aims to meet the needs of Indonesian consumers for environmentally friendly mobility solutions. It is worth noting that BYD has not yet launched the M6 in the Chinese market, and the company launched the now-discontinued gas-powered M6 as its first MPV model in July 2010 in China.
BYD entered the Indonesian passenger car market in January this year. It was successively launched models such as Seal, Dolphin and Atto 3, and plans to invest 1.3 billion US dollars to build a factory with a capacity of 150,000 units. Local officials stated on March 20 that BYD will begin producing electric vehicles in Indonesia by 2026. At present, all cars sold by BYD in Indonesia are imported, and it delivered the first batch of 1,000 cars to Indonesia on July 2.
In addition to the BYD M6 model, BYD also launched two new configurations of BYD Dolphins and BYD ATTO 3 on the day of the auto show: BYD Dolphins Dynamic Edition and BYD ATTO 3 Premium Edition. These models are competitively priced and offer more features that provide a more diverse choice for Indonesian consumers.

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 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 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.
