Overview
The 2026 BYD Atto 3 Mk1 Facelift is a five-seat C-segment electric SUV for buyers who want a family-sized EV with either 420 km or 510 km of rated range. It starts from RM125,800, bringing the Evo facelift and a choice of two markedly different battery-and-motor packages.
Atto 3 in 2026 — what's new
The Atto 3 enters 2026 as a facelifted Mk1 model with the full Evo update rather than a light cosmetic refresh. The range now splits into FWD and RWD versions, with up to 313 PS, 510 km WLTP range and 220 kW DC charging. The RM139k RWD version also uses 800V architecture. Ultra and Premium are the two Malaysian variants, and the Premium has proved the more popular of the pair.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the Premium at RM138,800. The RM13,000 gap buys a 74.88 kWh battery instead of 60.48 kWh, 510 km rather than 420 km of range, and 308 hp instead of 201 hp. That extra 90 km of range is useful beyond occasional long trips, while the stronger motor gives the facelift a distinctly different character. Choose the RM125,800 Ultra if keeping the entry price down matters more than maximum range and performance.

Verdict
The Atto 3 has serious local traction: more than 12,000 have been delivered since its 2022 debut, making it Malaysia's all-time best-selling EV, and the facelift drew 1,000 bookings in 10 days. This Evo update gives buyers a real choice rather than two near-identical trims. The Ultra sits RM829 below the MG ZS EV, while the Premium costs RM9,800 more than the Leapmotor C10. The Premium's range and power gains make that step easier to justify.
