Buckle up, the next electrifying drive has arrived! BYD Sime Motors, the official distributor of BYD cars in Malaysia, today unveiled the BYD ATTO 2— an all-new electric compact SUV designed as the go-to thrilling ride for a new generation of drivers. Bringing premium electric vehicle (EV) technology within reach, the BYD ATTO 2 is tailored for first-time drivers, trendsetters and go-getters eager to embrace electric mobility.
Andrew Basham, Managing Director of Sime Motors, said, “The BYD ATTO 2 is more than just a vehicle — it’s a lifestyle model built on innovation, designed to connect with a new generation of Malaysians. Innovation doesn’t end with the car. We’re rethinking how Malaysians can own and enjoy an EV by making it more accessible, flexible and convenient. We are removing major barriers for easy EV ownership with flexible payment plans and a partnership with Power Up — the first in the industry to offer mobile EV charging delivered right to your doorstep. This will be especially helpful for those living in high-rise residences. At the same time, we are expanding our nationwide network to 60 BYD outlets by 2026, strengthening the EV ecosystem with local partners to ensure every Malaysian can access the support they need, wherever they are.”
Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia, commented, “With the BYD ATTO 2, we’ve created an EV that speaks to the needs of young drivers and first-time EV users in the country, coupling BYD’s innovative edge with today’s trend-setting lifestyle features. It embodies the spirit of versatility, practicality and style synonymous with our brand. As BYD’s pioneering youth-oriented model with all-new features and innovations, the ATTO 2 sets a new benchmark in its class.”
The BYD ATTO 2 was officially launched today at Heritage Valley, Kuala Lumpur, in a ceremony attended by Eagle Zhao, Managing Director of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd; Chen Han Sern, Senior Manager Sales Division of BYD Malaysia Sdn Bhd; Andrew Basham, Managing Director of Sime Motors; Jeffrey Gan, Managing Director of Sime Motors, Southeast Asia; Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz, Managing Director, Inokom & Distribution Malaysia, Sime Motors and Adeline Lew, Managing Director of BYD Sime Motors.
Adding a playful touch to the launch was Carpy, BYD’s cheerful capybara mascot who embodies the relaxed fun and social lifestyle that many young Malaysians seek. Naturally, his favourite companion is the all-new BYD ATTO 2. Together, Carpy and his ride represent the evolving electric mobility experience designed for the next generation of drivers. Whether you’re cruising through the city, heading to your next pickleball match or winding down after a packed week, this duo is here to drive the lifestyle of tomorrow.
