“This celebration marks a milestone in Malaysia’s electric vehicle (EV) market, setting a precedent that reflects the increasing popularity and acceptance of EV in the country. We are pleased to sustain the momentum of our BYD ATTO 3 deliveries to customers and today’s occasion is a celebration for all the new car owners. We look forward to continue driving EV demand across our market segments,” said Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Retail and Distribution of Sime Darby Motors Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau.
The BYD ATTO 3 is available in 2 variants i.e. Standard Range (priced at RM149,800) and Extended Range (RM167,800) and with a choice of 5 exterior colours i.e. Surf Blue, Parkour Red, Boulder Grey, Forest Green and Ski White. The ATTO 3 Standard Range has a 49.92 kWh BYD Blade battery while the Extended Range uses a 60.48 kWh unit, to give a driving range of up to 410 km and 480 km respectively. Both variants’ batteries have the VtoL (Vehicle-to-Load) mobile power supply function so you can use the ATTO 3 to power devices or household appliances.
Built on BYD’s advanced e-platform 3.0, its dimensions are 4,455 mm (length), 1,875 mm (width) and 1,615 mm (height), with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm and boot capacity of 440 litres.
Notable features include a panoramic sunroof, 12.8″ rotating touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, satellite navigation (3 years of free updates), 5″ digital instrument display, USB Type C and USB-A charging ports, and climate control with air filter. In addition, the key is a card rather than a fob, and the NFC sensor in the side mirror allows for keyless access.
Commenting on the momentous occasion, Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd and PT BYD Motor Indonesia said, “Today’s achievement of a record-breaking feat is testament to the strong partnership with Sime Darby Motors and we are optimistic on the growth prospects of EV in Malaysia. We hope the new BYD owners enjoyed their one-of-a-kind experience with us today and we look forward to continue bringing in even better new energy technology and products to Malaysia in the future. This will offer Malaysians the opportunity to revel in the advantage and fun of EV.”
Further, BYD recently opened its latest showroom in Gurney Plaza, Penang as part of its network expansion plan. This state-of-the-art showroom offers a comfortable 1,500 sq ft space for customers to relax, interact with BYD’s professionally trained and knowledgeable staff, and learn more about the advanced technology offered by BYD. Customers can also take the opportunity to test drive the ATTO 3 when they visit the showroom.
Just 6 kilometers away from the Gurney showroom is the BYD aftersales service centre in Sungai Pinang. This service centre has a built-up area of 20,000 sq ft and provides vehicle maintenance, wear and tear repairs, as well as body and paint services, and other aftersales needs.
