BYD has reached a new milestone after the 500,000th Atto 3 rolled off the assembly line at its Hefei factory. This comes 19 months after the fully electric crossover made its launch debut in China last February, which would work out to around 26,000 units produced monthly.
The Atto 3 is the brand’s first model for the global market and the new energy vehicle (NEV) has been well received in multiple countries. According to BYD, the Atto 3 is the best-selling NEV (a term used to designate cars that are fully or predominantly powered by electric energy) in Singapore, New Zealand, Thailand and Sweden.
Built on the Chinese carmaker’s e-Platform 3.0, the Atto 3 was launched in Malaysia in December 2023 and is available in two variants. The Standard Range offers 410 km of range (NEDC, 345 km WLTP) and is priced at RM150,430 on-the-road without insurance, while the top-spec Extended Range provides 480 km (NEDC, 420 km WLTP) and goes for RM168,430. The Atto 3 was joined by the Dolphin a few months ago in July.
In 2022, BYD ceased production of pure internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to focus on battery electric (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). Last year also saw the company more than triple its sales to 1.86 million units of NEVs.

Meanwhile some fools are still fearful of China and they managed to get the rakyat vote them into Gomen. *Facepalm*
With such high production volume, I guess their high EV fire cases in China is acceptable then. My mistake.
plenty of hybrid and ev in malaysia, why none catch fire?
China numba one. Malaysia numba last
Fully in line with chingchong policy of quantity, not quality. Wait till the first EV fire happen in Malaysia and let’s see how’s the RV.. but then again EVs have no RV to begin with and unlike an ICE car, it’s not one that you’ll keep long term as a faithful workhorse with peace of mind.
teslas work mileage >300k km more than 10 years old still running. in the road
Scamland figures highly questionable
tens of thousands of EVs and hybrids already on malayia Road, yet you don’t hear any EV catch fire on malaysia? you think our weather not hot?
