BYD Atto 3 Updated With Enhanced Features And Exclusive Offers
BYD has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering exceptional ownership in Malaysia, and one of its initiatives is to give one of its most popular models, the Atto 3, an update. While still looking largely similar to the existing Atto 3, this latest iteration comes with several enhancements. Most notable is a larger 60.48 kWh battery (increased from 49.92 kWh), which now extends the driving range to up to 480 km, from the previous 410 km (based on NEDC cycle). The updated model also boasts improved acceleration, going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds (compared to the previous 7.9 seconds). Catering to the larger battery pack is the vehicle’s ability to support DC charging of up to 88 kW. This has also been increased from the previous 70 kW so it now charges a little faster via direct current chargers.
On the exterior, the Atto 3’s look is enhanced with larger 18″ wheels (increased from 17″). Access to boot space is also enhanced with a one-touch open/close tailgate. Meanwhile, the interior environment is improved with an additional pair of speakers, making it a total of 8 Diract HD Sound speakers now. There is also PM2.5 air filtration to keep the cabin clear of pollutants. Additionally, the ambient lighting on the door handles have also been upgraded from a single colour gradient to multi-colour, and with music rhythm.
All these upgrades put the BYD Atto 3 at a price of RM149,800. Incidentally, this is the price of the base Atto 3 Standard variant when it was launched in December 2022. In essence, this is an Atto 3 Standard with specs of the pricier Extended variant.
Other features remain unchanged, such as the permanent magnet synchronous motor which produces 150 kW (203 hp) and 310 Nm of torque, panoramic sunroof, 12.8″ rotating touchscreen display, 5″ digital instrument display, voice assistant, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. 
For those eager to get their hands on this upgraded model, the first 300 bookings will come with a Wallbox Home Charger, a 3-year Service Package, and 4 years of complimentary Road Tax.
BYD also affirms its commitment to customer service in Malaysia with its network of 25 showrooms and service centres. This network is set to expand to over 30 outlets by the end of 2024. Beyond physical locations, BYD continues to prioritize customer satisfaction with innovative digital solutions, including the BYD app. This user-friendly app allows customers to easily locate service centres and even unlock their cars with just a tap.
For those interested in experiencing the new BYD Atto 3 or the BYD Seal Dynamic RWD up close, BYD is hosting a special event at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Carpark B this weekend (6 – 8 September). Visitors to the event can take advantage of exclusive promotions, including an RM800 charging credit for BYD Seal and BYD Dolphin bookings made during the event. Additionally, those who make bookings during the event will have a chance to win a BMW CE 02 Motorrad (subject to terms and conditions).
