Chinese car maker, Build Your Dream (BYD) announces its EV squad is coming to Malaysia after signing a deal with Sime Darby Motors which is responsible for handling the whole distribution of BYD vehicles across the nation.

To embark its journey, the company introduced two of its top-notch models, namely BYD Atto 3 SUV and e6 5-seater MPV, to the Malaysian market.

Curated with simple yet sophisticated elements, the BYD Atto 3 rides on 18-inch wheels which sports a sleek and modern LED lighting setup on top of a unique C-pillar to add to the SUV's premium feel.
