BYD kicks off its journey in Vietnam with the “BYD Week – Technology Green Future” test drive event.

The highlight of the event will be the strategic trio of BYD vehicles that are taking the global electric vehicle market by storm. Let’s take a look at the “warriors” BYD is bringing to Vietnam:

BYD ATTO 3 – Versatile SUV for Young Families

Dubbed BYD’s “ace card” for entering international markets, the BYD ATTO 3 is a urban SUV that impresses with its versatility, making it ideal for both city driving and family adventures.

BYD ATTO 3 stands out with its versatility, long-range capability, and modern design.

The BYD ATTO 3 boasts a modern design crafted by European designers. Its attention to detail is evident in its exterior and interior styling, as well as its meticulous craftsmanship and emotionally engaging materials.

Under the hood, the BYD ATTO 3 packs a punch with a maximum electric motor output of 150 kW (201 horsepower) and a peak torque of 310 Nm. The Premium version is equipped with a 60.48 kWh battery that delivers an impressive maximum range of 480 km on a single charge. To achieve these impressive figures, BYD has equipped the ATTO 3 with its top-of-the-line technologies, including the safe and high-performance Blade Battery, the exclusive e-Platform 3.0 chassis, and the 8-in-1 drive system that optimizes space and energy efficiency.

In Thailand, the BYD ATTO 3 has been a huge hit, with long queues forming when it was first released in November 2023. It won the “Best EV SUV” award and was recognized as the best-selling electric vehicle in the country for 2023.

BYD SEAL – Luxurious and Elegant Electric Sedan

Inspired by the deep blue sea, the BYD SEAL embodies elegance and impressive performance. This is evident in its iF Design Award, a prestigious recognition of its design excellence. The dual-lamp lighting system not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides superior illumination. The matrix-style taillights run across the width of the body, adding a sense of grandeur to this sleek sedan. Inside, the BYD SEAL impresses with a 15.6-inch central touchscreen that can be rotated, a panoramic sunroof, a modern W-HUD display, and a premium HIFI Dynaudio Premium entertainment system with 12 speakers.

BYD SEAL is the most anticipated model among the three BYD vehicles introduced in Vietnam.

The BYD SEAL promises an exhilarating driving experience with its 390 kW (522 horsepower) electric motor and 670 Nm of torque. The all-wheel-drive version can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Charging and traveling are made easy with an 82.56 kWh battery that delivers a maximum range of up to 520 km on a single charge.

It is also the first BYD model to feature Cell-to-body (CTB) technology, with the battery integrated into the floor of the vehicle. This “sandwich” structure gives the car an impressive 40,000 Nm of torsional rigidity, comparable to luxury cars. With CTB technology, the Blade Battery in the BYD SEAL not only serves as an energy source but also becomes a load-bearing structure, especially when combined with the e-Platform 3.0 chassis.

In addition to its design award, the BYD SEAL also won big at the prestigious Portuguese Car Awards (Troféu Volante de Cristal), taking home the top prize in the “Car of the Year” category.

With its advanced technologies, the BYD DOLPHIN is a flexible and cost-effective mobility solution for city dwellers. Its compact size makes it highly maneuverable in tight urban spaces, even in narrow alleys. Additionally, the fast DC charging solution increases the battery capacity from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes, and its long-range capability means you can drive for a whole week on a single charge.
