BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD vehicles in Malaysia, has unveiled the new 2026 BYD ATTO 3 at the Sime Motors MotorExpo 2026, introducing the latest evolution of one of Malaysia’s most popular electric vehicles. The launch marks another important step in the country’s growing shift towards electric mobility and highlights BYD’s continued momentum in the local EV market.
The occasion also celebrates a major achievement for the brand. BYD is now Malaysia’s No. 1 EV brand of all time, with more than 32,000 vehicles delivered nationwide. This milestone reflects the increasing confidence Malaysians have in electric vehicles and reinforces BYD’s position as a leader in the EV segment.
Today, BYD offers one of the most comprehensive EV line-ups in Malaysia, covering a wide range of lifestyles and driving needs. From the compact BYD DOLPHIN and city-friendly BYD ATTO 2 to the versatile BYD ATTO 3, stylish BYD SEAL, family-focused BYD M6, dynamic BYD SEALION 7 and practical BYD SEAL 6, the brand continues to provide customers with more choices than ever before. Equipped with advanced safety features, intelligent connectivity and modern driving technologies, BYD remains focused on delivering vehicles that suit different lifestyles and preferences.
Jacob Ma, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, said the BYD ATTO 3 holds a special place in the brand’s journey in Malaysia as it was the first BYD model introduced to local customers and has since become the country’s best-selling EV SUV.
“The BYD ATTO 3 played an important role in establishing our presence in Malaysia and continues to be one of the key contributors to our success. Our partnership with Sime Motors has helped us better understand local customer needs while continuously improving the ownership experience through reliable aftersales support and customer service,” he said.
He added that with more than 1.1 million units sold globally, the BYD ATTO 3 has already proven itself as a successful model worldwide. The latest version builds on that success by offering a more refined driving experience, improved range and greater practicality for everyday use.
Adeline Lew, Managing Director of BYD Sime Motors, said the arrival of the BYD ATTO 3 in December 2022 helped spark wider interest in electric mobility among Malaysians.
“When we first introduced the BYD ATTO 3, it was more than just another SUV. It became a catalyst for EV adoption across the country. Today, it stands as Malaysia’s best-selling EV model of all time, with more than 12,000 units delivered nationwide,” she said.
She added that the 2026 BYD ATTO 3 has been updated with features and enhancements that directly address the needs of Malaysian drivers, combining stronger performance, smarter technology and everyday practicality in a package that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
The 2026 BYD ATTO 3 is available in two variants, namely the Ultra and Premium. Both versions continue to deliver the practicality and technology that have made the model popular among Malaysian consumers, while introducing improvements in performance, range and charging capabilities.
