Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia, has made a significant stride in advancing the country’s electric mobility ecosystem with the opening of new BYD 3S Centres and showrooms in East Malaysia. These new facilities are a key part of Sime Motors’ broader vision to bring electric vehicles closer to the people of Sabah and Sarawak, while enhancing customer experience and accelerating the adoption of low-carbon solutions.
The spotlight is on the newly launched BYD 3S Centre in Kota Kinabalu, marking the first-ever BYD 3S Centre in East Malaysia. This flagship facility, which spans over 1,288 square meters, offers a comprehensive suite of services, including sales consultations, vehicle test drives, and top-tier aftersales support. With a focus on providing customers with an easy and seamless experience, the 3S Centre is set to become a central hub for electric vehicle enthusiasts and potential buyers in the region.
Strategically located at the Sedco Industrial Estate, the new centre is not only a sales and service facility but also a place where customers can discover BYD’s cutting-edge technology and sustainable electric vehicle offerings. Additionally, the centre boasts two high-speed DC Super Charger units with four charging guns, capable of delivering up to 180kW of power, making it one of the most advanced charging stations in East Malaysia.
In line with Sime Motors’ commitment to expanding BYD’s footprint across East Malaysia, the company has also opened a new BYD showroom in Sibu, Sarawak, complementing the existing showroom in Kuching. These three showrooms are now fully operational, bringing the total number of BYD showrooms in East Malaysia to three.
In addition to showrooms, Sime Motors and Regas EV Sabah have also set up authorized Body & Paint Centres in both Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. These after-sales facilities provide high-quality vehicle repairs and maintenance services, ensuring that BYD owners in East Malaysia receive comprehensive support throughout their EV ownership journey.
The expansion of BYD’s presence in East Malaysia is not just about providing high-quality electric vehicles—it also supports Malaysia’s transition towards a more sustainable, low-carbon future. As part of the broader initiative, BYD and Sime Motors are committed to providing affordable and accessible EV options to Malaysians, particularly in regions like Sabah and Sarawak, where electric mobility solutions are still in their early stages.
Datuk Matthew Tan, Managing Director of Regas EV Sabah, said, “The opening of the BYD 3S Centre in Kota Kinabalu, along with the new showrooms in Sibu and Kuching, reflects BYD’s commitment to the future of electric mobility in East Malaysia. We are excited to bring BYD’s world-class EVs and cutting-edge charging infrastructure closer to the people of Sabah and Sarawak, as well as provide enhanced after-sales services to ensure a smooth and reliable ownership experience.”
The opening of the BYD 3S Centre in Kota Kinabalu is only the beginning. Sime Motors has ambitious plans to expand BYD’s footprint across Malaysia with further showrooms, service centres, and charging stations planned for the near future. BYD Malaysia is rapidly becoming a key player in the electric vehicle sector, and with plans to exceed 30 showrooms by the end of 2024, the company is positioning itself to meet the rising demand for electric vehicles across the country.
To celebrate BYD’s second anniversary in Malaysia on 8 December 2024, Sime Motors will be offering exclusive promotions and discounts to 1,208 customers. This limited-time package, worth up to RM35,000, is designed to mark the brand’s successful two years in the Malaysian market and to encourage even more consumers to make the shift towards electric mobility.
