KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia has become the first market in the Asia Pacific region to launch the new 2026 BYD ATTO 3, reinforcing the country’s growing importance in the electric vehicle landscape and further strengthening BYD’s position as the nation’s leading EV brand. The latest evolution of BYD’s best-selling electric SUV was officially unveiled by BYD Sime Motors Malaysia at the Sime Motors MotorExpo 2026.
The launch marks another significant milestone for BYD in Malaysia, with the brand surpassing 32,000 cumulative vehicle sales nationwide, making it the country’s No.1 EV brand of all time. Since entering the Malaysian market in late 2022, BYD has steadily expanded its portfolio to cater to a broad spectrum of customers, offering models ranging from the urban-friendly BYD DOLPHIN to the versatile BYD ATTO 3, premium BYD SEAL, family-focused BYD M6, dynamic BYD SEALION 7, compact BYD ATTO 2 and practical BYD SEAL 6.
According to Jacob Ma, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, the ATTO 3 remains a cornerstone of the brand’s success in Malaysia.
“The BYD ATTO 3 is the model that marked the beginning of BYD’s journey in Malaysia and continues to be an important part of our success here. Building on its global success of over 1.1 million units, the new BYD ATTO 3 takes a proven product and elevates it further, offering a more refined driving experience, improved range and enhanced everyday usability.”
Adeline Lew, Managing Director of BYD Sime Motors, highlighted the significance of the model in Malaysia’s EV journey.
“When we introduced BYD to Malaysia in December 2022, the BYD ATTO 3 was more than just a new SUV—it sparked a nationwide movement towards electric mobility. Today, it stands as the best-selling EV model in Malaysia of all time, with more than 12,000 units sold nationwide.”
