    At this 2-day event, the company also offered the chance to view, test drive, and book the all-electric SUV to interested customers. 

    BYD looks forward to delivering more EVs in the near future as 500 units of the SUV are en route to Malaysia via the sea, confirmed BYD Asia Pacific. The Atto 3 seems to be well received by Malaysians as its bookings crossed the 1,000-unit mark in just 10 days of launch.

    The EV is on offer in two variants here - Standard Range and Extended Range, priced at ts RM149,800, and RM 167,800, respectively. Both trims are powered by the same 201 hp/310 Nm e-motor, enabling the EV to run from zero to 100 kmph in 7.3 seconds. However, when it comes to range, the two Atto 3 variants are not the same as the base-spec model uses a 49.92-kWh battery pack offering a range of 345 km (on the WLTP cycle) while the top-spec gets a bigger 60.48-kWh pack with a range of 420 km.
