BYD Delivers Its First 100 Malaysian Cars

With 500 more units on the way.

Chinese new-energy vehicle brand BYD, distributed and represented in Malaysia by Sime Darby Motors, has delivered the first 100 units of its Atto 3 electric crossover to customers at a special event to mark the occasion. This marks a major milestone for the brand, which was launched in our market just last month. 

“With the delivery of the first BYD Atto 3 vehicles to our market, we look forard to maintaining our momentum with more units slated to reach Malaysia soon. [Sime Darby Motors] strives to cater to the growing demand for environmentally-friendly options among Malaysians, fuelling aspirations towards low-carbon mobility.”

Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director (Retail & Distribution), Sime Darby Motors

Having collected some 1,000 bookings in just 10-days following the launch, BYD’s Malaysian customers were convinced by the marque’s performance in its home market of China as well as across the globe. 

Offering competitive levels of safety and convenience technology coupled with a battery range that goes as far as 450km in real-world conditions on a single charge (for the Extended Range models; 400km is to be expected from the Standard Range variant), the BYD Atto 3 is available from just RM149,800 for the Standard, and topping out at RM167,800 for the Extended.
