Sime Motors recently announced the grand opening of East Malaysia’s first BYD 3S Centre in Kota Kinabalu. Operated by Regas EV Sabah, this milestone represents a significant step in bringing BYD’s innovative electric mobility and low-carbon solutions to Sabah, reinforcing the brand’s rapid growth across Malaysia and commitment to superior customer service in East Malaysia’s expanding electric vehicle (EV) market.
Strategically situated in Kota Kinabalu’s bustling hub, the cutting-edge facility spans 1,288 square meters and offers a comprehensive range of services, including sales consultations, vehicle test drives, and aftersales support. Regas EV Sabah has designed the centre to provide BYD customers with a seamless and tailored experience, ensuring they are supported at every stage of their EV journey.
One of the centre’s highlights is its advanced charging infrastructure. It is among Sabah’s first EV outlets to feature two DC Super Charger units with four charging guns, delivering up to 180kW of power for fast and efficient charging.
Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Retail and Distribution, Southeast Asia, Sime Motors, expressed pride in this collaboration, saying, “This new 3S Centre enhances our customer experience in East Malaysia and strengthens our position as the No.1 EV brand in Malaysia. We remain dedicated to exceeding customer expectations while meeting the community’s evolving needs in Sabah.”
Echoing this sentiment, Datuk Matthew Tan, Managing Director of Regas EV Sabah, added, “This 3S Centre is more than a facility—it embodies Sabah’s commitment to electric mobility and low-carbon solutions, powered by BYD’s world-class technology.”
In addition to the 3S Centre, Sime Motors and Regas EV have introduced specialised Body & Paint Centres in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, offering advanced vehicle repair and maintenance services. These facilities complement the brand’s mission to provide an exceptional ownership experience for BYD customers.
East Malaysia also welcomed a new BYD showroom in Sibu, Sarawak, adding to the existing outlets in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Nationwide, BYD now boasts 29 showrooms, with plans to exceed 30 by the end of 2024, underscoring the brand’s commitment to expanding accessibility and customer support.
