Sime Motors has introduced the new Gemilang Blue colourway for the BYD Atto 3 2026, just in time for the Merdeka weekend. Offerred exclusively for the Premium variant, it’s the 5th colour option for the electric SUV after Atlantis Grey, Cosmos Black, Harbour Grey, and Ski White, which were already available since it was launched in June.
From what we can tell, the new Gemilang Blue colourway appears to be identical, if not closely resembling the Iris Blue for the Atto 3 Evo in other markets. The Atto 3 Evo is what our Atto 3 2026 Premium is being called in certain markets.
Meanwhile, the previously announced RM14,000 Merdeka discount for the Atto 3 2026 also applies for the new colourway. This mean that you can obtain the Atto 3 Premium 2026 in Gemilang Blue for RM124,800 instead of its original RM138,800 price tag.
BYD Atto 3 2026 Malaysia Quick Specs
The 2026 Atto 3 Premium has been fitted with a 230kW (308hp) motor, which also produces 380Nm of torque. As a comparison, the 2026 Atto 3 Ultra has a front-mounted 150kW (201hp) motor with 310Nm of torque – similar to the previous Atto 3 Ultra.
The new motor allows the Atto 3 Premium to deliver a 0 to 100km/h timing of 5.5 seconds. BYD also said that the front suspension setup for this model is dual ball joint MacPherson, similar to the Seal 6, while the SUV also has a 5-link multilink rear suspension.
At the same time, the Atto 3 Premium also comes with a 74.88kWh battery. The larger capacity battery allows the Atto 3 Premium to deliver an NEDC-rated range of 600km or an estimated WLTP range of 510km.
The charging capability of the Atto 3 Premium has been improved as well. The electric SUV is said to be able to support a DC charging speed of up to 220kW, together with 11kW AC charging.
The Atto 3 Premium also comes with a 101L frunk, dual-zone climate control, and additional controls for the front passenger seat. There are also additional ADAS features, including Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA), Front Cross Traffic Brake (FCTB), and Intelligent Speed Limit Control (ISLC), as well as 7 airbags, which is one more than its Ultra counterpart.
On the other hand, the 2026 Atto 3 Ultra carries plenty of features from its predecessor, including a front-wheel drive (FWD) setup alongside the 150kW motor, 60.48kWh BYD Blade LFP battery, and 7kW AC charging. However, its DC charging speed has improved from 88kW to 110kW.
