BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD vehicles in Malaysia, has officially launched the BYD ATTO 2. This all-new electric compact SUV aims to redefine urban mobility, offering a blend of innovative technology, dynamic performance, and a fun-loving spirit tailored for the modern Malaysian driver.
Designed to appeal to first-time EV owners, trendsetters, and those seeking an exciting yet practical electric vehicle, the BYD ATTO 2 embodies the brand’s commitment to making EV ownership accessible and enjoyable.
A Lifestyle Statement On Wheels
Andrew Basham emphasised that the BYD ATTO 2 transcends mere transportation, stating, “The BYD ATTO 2 is more than just a vehicle – it’s a lifestyle model built on innovation, designed to connect with a new generation of Malaysians. Innovation doesn’t end with the car. We’re rethinking how Malaysians can own and enjoy an EV by making it more accessible, flexible and convenient. We are removing major barriers for easy EV ownership with flexible payment plans and a partnership with Power Up – the first in the industry to offer mobile EV charging delivered right to your doorstep. This will be especially helpful for those living in high-rise residences. At the same time, we are expanding our nationwide network to 60 BYD outlets by 2026, strengthening the EV ecosystem with local partners to ensure every Malaysian can access the support they need, wherever they are.”
Eagle Zhao echoed this sentiment, highlighting the ATTO 2’s appeal to a younger demographic. “With the BYD ATTO 2, we’ve created an EV that speaks to the needs of young drivers and first-time EV users in the country, coupling BYD’s innovative edge with today’s trend-setting lifestyle features. It embodies the spirit of versatility, practicality and style synonymous with our brand. As BYD’s pioneering youth-oriented model with all-new features and innovations, the ATTO 2 sets a new benchmark in its class.”
Performance And Design
The BYD ATTO 2’s design philosophy, “When Chill Meets Thrill,” perfectly encapsulates its dual nature. The “Chill” aspect represents a relaxed, stylish, and social lifestyle, while “Thrill” signifies the dynamic and exhilarating electric driving experience. Its compact and intuitive design makes it ideal for urban environments, featuring short overhangs, sculpted lines, and a confident road presence on 17″ alloy wheels.
The ATTO 2 is powered by a 130 kW (174 hp) electric motor delivering 290 Nm of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The vehicle boasts an NEDC-rated driving range of up to 410 km, making it suitable for both daily commutes and weekend getaways. The industry-leading 51.13 kWh BYD Blade Battery, renowned for its exceptional safety and durability, supports both AC (7 kW) and DC fast charging (up to 82 kW; 0% – 80% in < 30 minutes). It also has a V2L (vehicle-to-load) feature supporting up to 3.3 kW.
Inside, the cabin offers a refined and spacious environment with synthetic leather seats and a premium black interior. A prominent 12.8″ rotating touchscreen serves as the infotainment hub, supporting both wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. The front seats provide ventialtion while the rear seats fold down to offer up to 1,320 litres of cargo space.
