BYD SIME MOTORS SECURES 1,000 BOOKINGS FOR 2026 ATTO 3 IN JUST 10 DAYS

BYD Sime Motors has once again demonstrated the growing strength of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Malaysia after securing more than 1,000 bookings for the 2026 BYD ATTO 3 within just 10 days of its official launch. The achievement mirrors the model’s remarkable debut in 2022, when the BYD ATTO 3 first entered the Malaysian market and reached the same milestone within an identical timeframe, highlighting the enduring popularity of one of the country’s most successful EV models.

The strong market response follows the unveiling of the 2026 BYD ATTO 3 at the Sime Motors MotorExpo 2026, with Malaysia becoming the first country in the Asia Pacific region to introduce the latest version of the popular electric SUV. Carrying the tagline “Faster, Further, Smarter,” the refreshed model has attracted significant interest from consumers thanks to its enhanced performance, longer driving range, faster charging capabilities and advanced intelligent features.

Among the key highlights of the 2026 BYD ATTO 3 is the introduction of a premium Rear-Wheel Drive variant capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds. The vehicle also supports ultra-fast charging of up to 220 kW and offers a driving range of up to 600 kilometres, making it an attractive option for motorists seeking both performance and practicality in their daily commute.

The milestone further reinforces the BYD ATTO 3’s position as Malaysia’s all-time best-selling EV. Since its introduction, more than 12,000 units have been delivered nationwide, cementing its reputation as one of the most trusted and sought-after electric vehicles in the country. The latest booking achievement also reflects growing confidence among Malaysians in EV technology as consumers increasingly seek vehicles that combine innovation, efficiency and value.

To commemorate the achievement, BYD Sime Motors celebrated its 1,000th customer at a special ceremony held at BYD Bandar Utama in the Klang Valley. The event served as a symbolic reminder of the model’s original success in 2022 while showcasing the continued enthusiasm surrounding the BYD brand several years later.

Jacob Ma, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, described the strong response as a reflection of changing consumer expectations. He noted that Malaysian drivers today are looking for vehicles that seamlessly integrate technology, convenience and everyday usability, qualities that the 2026 BYD ATTO 3 has been designed to deliver. According to him, the achievement reaffirms the model’s status as one of the most preferred EVs in the country.

Meanwhile, Vi Thim Juan, Managing Director of Malaysia Retail & Distribution, Sime Motors, expressed confidence that the positive momentum will continue as more consumers experience the vehicle firsthand. He also encouraged Malaysians to visit authorised BYD showrooms nationwide to explore the latest model and join the rapidly expanding BYD community.

Supporting this growth is BYD Sime Motors’ extensive nationwide network, which currently consists of 44 sales and marketing outlets, 25 aftersales facilities and 12 body and paint centres. Backed by certified technicians, strong aftersales support and a 95 percent parts fill rate, the company remains committed to delivering a premium ownership experience while contributing to Malaysia’s transition towards a more sustainable electric mobility future.

With the 2026 BYD ATTO 3 repeating history and achieving 1,000 bookings in just 10 days, BYD Sime Motors continues to strengthen its leadership position in Malaysia’s EV market while demonstrating the increasing acceptance of electric vehicles among local consumers.
