Philippine-market Specs

According to BYD Philippines, the ATTO 3 will come with 17-inch wheels for the Standard variant and 18-inch alloys for the extended-range Premium. LED headlights, heated and retracting side mirrors, roof rails, and a panoramic sunroof are included in the Premium variant.

Synthetic leather seats, an electric tailgate, MacPherson front, and Multi-link rear suspension components are standard for both trims. The rear boot space is 440 Liters with the rear seats up and expands to 1,340 Liters with the rear seats folded down. 

Inside, the ATTO 3 has a different take on interior design. Featuring more organic and sinewy shapes and surfaces as well as an organic-feeling choice of materials that hark on fitness culture, the ATTO 3 is a visual fest of unconventional creativity that fits perfectly with its EV origins. 

A 12.8-inch tablet-like touchscreen display centralizes the essential functions of the ATTO 3, from air conditioning to infotainment and car settings. The display rotates vertically to provide a different orientation according to the driver's or passengers' preference. Over-the-air updates can install future software and connectivity options such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Premium variant has the Dirac HD sound system with eight speakers.

The BYD ATTO 3 has a host of safety features that are trim-dependent. The Premium variant gets six airbags, two front and four rear radars, stop and go full speed adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure assist, lane keep assist, and a 360-degree view monitor. A digital video recorder also comes standard in the Premium trim.
