BYD Philippines confirmed a few months back that it will expand its EV lineup with the Atto 3 later in the year. Now, the all-new electric vehicle has officially landed in the Philippines.
The Atto 3 is an electric crossover about the size of a Toyota Corolla Cross, measuring 4,455mm long, 1,875mm wide, and 1,615mm tall. It has a 2,720mm wheelbase and 150mm of ground clearance.
The design isn’t too over the top, as it looks like a typical subcompact crossover. It does have those swanky-looking wheels with the wide spokes, as well as that signature BYD trim at the tip of the hood.

The inside of the Atto 3 feels more futuristic than its exterior. A plethora of white leather with black trim and subtle red accents adorn the interior. A large 12.8-inch infotainment system—which rotates, by the way—is mounted on the dash. The head unit features Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto connectivity and is mated to a six-speaker setup. There’s also a five-inch fully digital instrument cluster for the driver.
But enough about the interior. We’re sure you guys have more questions about the electric setup under the hood. The Atto 3 is powered by a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum output of 201hp and 310Nm of torque.
This motor can be had with two different batteries: a 49.92kWh or a 60.48kWh option. The former promises 0-100kph acceleration in 7.9sec and a maximum range of 410km on a single charge. The latter, meanwhile, only does 0-100kph in 7.3sec but has a longer estimated range at 480km.
As for its pricing, the Atto 3 starts at P1.598 million. Check out the variants and prices below:
