FOLLOWING its success in delivering 100 units of BYD ATTO 3 within the first 10 days of its launch in Malaysia, Sime Darby Motors has set another record-breaking feat with its delivery of 1,000 cars in 100 days. 

The historic moment was celebrated together with the first 1,000 Atto 3 owners in Malaysia at the one-of-a-kind mass delivery event at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium carpark. 

Sime Darby Motors Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau MD of retail and distribution Jeffrey Gan said the celebration marks a milestone in the country’s electric-vehicle (EV) market, setting a precedent that reflects the increasing popularity and acceptance of EVs in the country. 

“We are pleased to sustain the momentum of our ATTO 3 deliveries to customers and (this) occasion is a celebration for all the new car owners. We look forward to continue driving EV demand across our market segments.” 

In tandem with the delivery of the new vehicles, BYD recently opened its latest showroom at Gurney Plaza, Penang. Customers can take the opportunity to test drive the ATTO 3 at the strategically-located state-of-the-art showroom, which offers a comfortable and inviting 1,500 sq ft space for customers

For a seamless and convenient facility to cater to customers’ needs, the BYD after-sales service centre in Sungai Pinang is located just 6km from the showroom. The service centre, which has a built-up area of 20,000 sq ft, provides vehicle maintenance, wear and tear repairs, as well as body and paint services.
