You can now get a pre-owned BYD Certified EV here in Malaysia

BYD recently launched their BYD Certified platform for their pre-owned and refurbished BYD EVs here in Malaysia. According to BYD, each pre-owned EV has been inspected by a professional over 170-points and only genuine BYD parts are used to refurbish the EVs.  BYD are currently offering test drives for these EVs with a 5-day buy back assurance if major damage or mileage tampering is found. 

What’s available? 

Since it’s only recently been launched, there aren’t many BYD Certified EVs available but the lowest priced EV is a 2023 BYD Dolphin Standard going for RM62000 and there’s also Atto 2, Atto 3 and Seal EV models as well. We expect this number to increase but we have to say that it’s not that far off from buying a brand new Proton e.Mas 5. However, the BYD Dolphin would certainly be more premium and have more features. The BYD Certified platform is backed by SIME motors.

Older EVs have shown to still work quite well even after 10 years with proper care, so we wouldn’t be too concerned about the quality of a BYD Certified EV which is just 2 or 3 years old. But what do you think? Would you consider getting a BYD Certified EV over a brand new EV? Share your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech updates.
