Mega Motor Company (MMC), in partnership with BYD, the world’s no.1 New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, announced the launch of BYD Sealion 7 and BYD Atto 2 in Pakistan, marking another milestone in the country’s transition towards clean and sustainable mobility. Launched at a dealership event in Lahore, the two models strengthen BYD-MMC’s growing NEV portfolio in Pakistan by addressing both premium and urban lifestyle segments, with bookings now open nationwide.

The BYD Sealion 7 is a premium SUV with luxury-first cabin engineered to compete with the world’s leading premium EVs on ride quality, technology, and safety. One of BYD’s highest-selling models in the Asia-Pacific region, the Sealion 7 delivers uncompromising performance with 380 Nm of torque and 308 hp (230 kW) delivering 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 6.7 seconds and a braking distance of 37m from 100-0 km/h. Combined with an ultra-long range of up to 567 km on a single charge, the Sealion 7 stands apart as a compelling choice for bold, confident drivers seeking a truly performance-led electric SUV.

The BYD Atto 2 is a smart, all-electric SUV designed for Pakistani drivers, bringing BYD’s signature design and intelligent technology for everyday use. The Atto 2 offers advanced features including keyless start with NFC card access, a 50W wireless charging pad, ergonomic electric and ventilated seats, and an intuitive cabin layout. On performance, the Atto 2 is the fastest car in its category, delivering a 0–100 km/h acceleration in 7.9 seconds. With up to 75% lower running and maintenance costs compared to ICE vehicles at a comparable driving range of 380 km, the Atto 2 makes the transition to electric mobility both practical and cost-effective.

Both models are built on BYD’s proprietary technologies, including the Blade Battery, engineered for exceptional safety, durability, and thermal stability. They are further supported by BYD’s e-Platform 3.0, which enhances range, charging efficiency, and overall performance, and the industry-first 8-in-1 electric powertrain, integrating key components to reduce weight, improve efficiency, and deliver a smoother, more reliable driving experience.

Speaking at the launch, Lei Jian, Country Head of BYD Pakistan, said, “We are delighted to introduce two of our highest-selling models to Pakistan. These launches reinforce our commitment to transforming the country’s automotive landscape by bringing BYD’s globally proven technology and innovation to local customers.

From an all-electric smart SUV designed for urban mobility to a premium, performance-led SUV, these two launches introduce possibilities that have not existed in their segments before. The Atto 2 offers a smart, value-driven entry into electric mobility, while the Sealion 7 stands in a league of its own, setting new benchmarks for premium electric SUVs in Pakistan.

The YANGWANG U9 Xtreme is already the fastest car on the planet – and now the performance flagship of BYD’s luxury sub-brand has set another benchmark. Just one month after posting a world-record high speed of 496.22km/h at ATP Papenburg, YANGWANG is proud to announce that the U9 Xtreme has achieved a new lap record for Electric Super Sports Cars around the Nürburgring, the ‘Green Hell’ of motorsport.

YANGWANG’s engineering team has been conducting long-term testing at the 20.832km Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit since July 2024 – and the extensive on-track data gleaned from this process had been fed into the development of the U9 Xtreme. YANGWANG can now confirm that on 22 August 2025, the U9X lapped the Nürburgring in 6m59.157sec – slicing more than five seconds off the previous record time in the Electric Super Sports Cars class and becoming the first such vehicle to dip under the seven-minute barrier.

BYD Executive Vice President Stella Li said: “We are dedicated to pushing the limits of what can be achieved through technology, and the Nürburgring is such a legendary challenge for cars and drivers that it is only natural for our engineers to pursue their dreams there. I congratulate the entire team on this phenomenal achievement. The limited-edition U9 Xtreme has proven that it is not only the world’s fastest car in a straight line, but also a vehicle with the performance and dynamic qualities necessary to break lap records on a circuit with a wide variety of corners.”

The driver for the record lap was Moritz Kranz, an experienced German racer who has notched up almost 10,000 laps of the ultra-challenging Nordschleife circuit during a career in GT competition. He said: “The Nürburgring Nordschleife is the most demanding track, and our lap time is a testament to the development skills of BYD and YANGWANG. Without their intense work to balance a high-powered EV platform with the difficult demands of the chassis set-up, this great lap time would not have been possible.”

The U9 Xtreme is built on the world’s first mass-produced all-domain 1200V ultra-high-voltage platform and equipped with four high-performance motors, each capable of 30,000rpm. The car delivers a total output of over 3,000PS, delivering a power-to-weight ratio of 1,217PS per tonne that sets new global benchmarks for performance.

Based on the same e⁴ Platform and DiSus-X intelligent body-control system as the current YANGWANG U9, the U9 Xtreme innovatively brings “body-attitude control” technology to track applications – balancing both top-speed and lap-time performance in a single vehicle.

To conquer the Nürburgring’s classic 20.832km circuit – known for its steep elevation changes and demanding corners – the U9 Xtreme features a completely redesigned cooling system, a new titanium-alloy carbon-ceramic braking system, and GitiSport e·GTR² PRO semi-slick tires, jointly developed with Giti. These upgrades enable the car to excel in not only the 496.22km/h top-speed challenge but also the Nürburgring’s “Green Hell” lap-time record attempt.

The U9 Xtreme is now being made available to customers, with a limited series production run of no more than 30 units. Its name is derived from the English word ‘Extreme’, meaning ‘limit’ and ‘ultimate’, with added emphasis on the ‘X’, which represents the unknown. These qualities fit perfectly with YANGWANG’s ethos of taking joy and delight from the act of exploration and the innovations that come through that process.
