BYD Malaysia teases ‘new take’ on Atto 3 for 2025

BYD Malaysia teases ‘new take’ on Atto 3 for 2025

BYD Cars Malaysia has posted this teaser on Facebook, captioned “An electrifying new take is on the way for our best seller SUV. Stay tuned.” Atto 3, then – but those are not the facelift‘s tail lamps you’re seeing above; they’re the current model‘s. Plus, the facelift’s official photos only came out globally last week. They’re fast, but not that fast.

What could this be then? Some sort of special-edition Atto 3, or one with some updates? Currently, the sole RM149,800 Extended Range (pre-facelift) model in Malaysia carries a 204 PS/310 Nm single front motor and a 60.48 kWh Blade LFP battery for a 420 km WLTP range. Previously, there was a 49.92 kWh battery choice that yielded a 345 km WLTP range.

    They want to cut the price, but can’t simply do that. So they release “different” version with lower price to fight with emas7

  • It’s great to see these EVs being updated at breakneck speeds compared to H and T that are stuck in an antiquated slow facelift-based cycle. More value to buyers!

    If they can just remove all those silly guitar strings and muscle tendons in the interior, then we might have something

      Maybe you got no taste and live a poor life all your life. Most people especially in Europe and in Australia loves the guitar string.

  • If BYD still do not remove the stupid guitar string door and the stupid aircond shape, their interior design on Atto 3 still fail.. just use Sealion 7 interior as standard for all model la..

      Agree. The exterior is gorgeous – simple-looking SUV, but not overboard. Just nice enough.

      But once you enter the car… hancur

      It’s a shame really
