500,000th production milestone
The BYD Atto 3 crossover showcases some of the most advanced EV technologies available in the world today. Available worldwide, the BYD Atto 3 recently achieved its 500,000th production milestone last September 15. This crossover is named after the Attosecond—the smallest timescale used in physics. This represents the remarkable speed at which BYD’s battery and EV technology evolves. As such, the BYD Atto 3 is equipped with all the latest revolutionary EV technologies hatched in BYD’s research facilities.
The BYD Atto 3 is equipped with BYD’s proprietary lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Blade Battery which is known for its safety, durability, overall lifespan, resistance to degradation from charge/discharge cycles, driving range, and performance. The Atto 3, apart from its impressive 480km range, delivers maximum 204ps of power and 310 Nm of torque, capable of 0 to 100 kph in just 7.3 seconds. The Atto 3 can also provide power during emergencies, thanks to its V2L function. Adding to its arsenal of EV tech features is regenerative braking.
Inside, the centerpiece of the Atto 3 is the first-in-class 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen infotainment display. It’s here where drivers can see the 360-degree camera feed, manage connectivity with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and control other vital vehicle functions. The interior also features a panoramic sunroof and leather trim.
Advanced safety is also a hallmark of every BYD vehicle. The Atto 3 comes standard with traction control and electronic stability control; LED headlamps, taillamps, daytime running lights; and front and side curtain airbags. Completing this suite of safety features is the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) package with stop and go full speed adaptive cruise control (ACC-S&G); automatic emergency braking system (AEB); blind spot detection (BSD); lane departure warning (LDW); and emergency lane keeping assist (ELKA).
Mobility Access Philippines Ventures Inc (Mapvi) of the Ayala Group of Companies is the official distributor of BYD in the Philippines. The BYD Atto 3 is also supported by the existing Ayala Land EV ecosystem that will enhance the user experience and help realize the full potential of the BYD lineup. Twenty Ayala Land charging hubs throughout Luzon ensure EV users always have a charging station nearby, with more in the pipeline.
AC Motors, the automotive arm of the Ayala Group of Companies, has also committed to expanding the BYD dealership network to 12 in 12 months. Soon, there will be more BYD dealerships in the country to serve its loyal customers. In the meantime, the Atto 3 can be seen, experienced, and purchased from BYD Makati and BYD Quezon Avenue.
BYD topped global new-energy vehicle (NEV) sales in 2022, taking the number one position with combined battery EV (BEV) and plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) sales. Now, BYD’s innovation-oriented vehicles will be brought closer to Filipinos through Mapvi, and the launch of the Atto 3 signals a bright new chapter for the BYD brand alongside the Ayala Group of Companies.
