On May 28, BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, released plug-in hybrid technology - the fifth-generation DM-i dual-mode hybrid system. This system can achieve a thermal efficiency of 46.06% for the engine and the world's lowest fuel consumption of 2.9L for every 100 kilometers, with a combined range of 2100 kilometers. This is equivalent to driving back and forth from Perlis, the northernmost city in Malaysia, to Kukup, the southernmost city, without charging.
The performance of the Chinese hybrid vehicle market is impressive. With sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles in the Chinese market reaching 2.804 million in 2023, an increase of 84.7% year-on-year, it significantly surpassing the sales of pure electric vehicle models. Meanwhile, BYD occupies a certain market share in China. For every 2 plug-in hybrids sold in China, 1 is from BYD, with sales exceeding the sum of the second to tenth places. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, said that China's automotive industry is leading the world in plug-in hybrid technology.
BYD launched Qin L DM-i and SEAL 06 DM-i at the press conference, both models are equipped with the latest developed fifth-generation DM-i hybrid technology, achieving product release with mass production. The first owner's delivery ceremony was also held at the press conference. And it is worth mentioning that these two models are priced at the same price, with a price range of RMB 99,800 - 139,800.

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.

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.
