Verdict
It should come as little surprise that the BYD Atto 3 is the top viewed model in 2024, just as it was in 2023. The buzz around it has not ceased; if anything, it has only increased. So much so that it is the best-selling single model in Singapore in 2024.
That’s certainly helped by the introduction of a Cat A model – offering buyers a more affordable alternative without losing out much in terms of the car’s feature set. A light facelift in 2024 brings a larger infotainment screen and better tyres, adding even more to the car’s compelling package.
And it is precisely the car’s extensive feature set that has made it so appealing to buyers. It is packed full of technology and features, and the mechanical package is also tested and proven. It may not be the quickest in a straight line, but it offers a light and comfortable drive, while the 60.5kWh battery will deliver close to 400km on a full charge.
With numerous new players in the market, on top of established brands now offering more electric models, the competition is stiffer than before. But BYD’s first-mover advantage is clear – the brand has managed to capture significantly more market share in 2024, bolstered by this model.
And the value-for-money proposition is also impossible to ignore – aggressively priced against the competition, the Atto 3 makes an immediately compelling case to potential buyers, many of whom have clearly been convinced.
As the market continues to embrace electric mobility (and especially electric SUVs), the BYD Atto 3 should continue to remain front of mind for many shoppers. And it is easily Sgcarmart’s Top Viewed Model of 2024.
