BYD Atto 3 delivered to first Victorian buyer during public presentation

The highly anticipated BYD Atto 3 has made local landfall, with the first vehicle in Melbourne delivered just yesterday to Victoria’s first buyer at a public event, held in the heart of Melbourne's inner-city suburb of Docklands.

This marked the first opportunity for the Victorian public to lay eyes on one of Australia’s newest EV SUV challengers, with the presentation taking place on the corner of LaTrobe Street and Harbour Esplanade, Docklands, at 12 noon on Wednesday September 7.

BYD MD Luke Todd was on-hand to personally deliver Victoria's first BYD Atto 3, ahead of an impending national rollout, with over 4500 Atto 3s said to have already been sold, with the first three container ships already docked and unloading.

There are two variants available to buyers, with the entry-level 50kWh Atto 3 asking $44,381 (before on-roads and without applicable state incentives), and the larger 60kWh vehicle, asking $47,381.

Luke Todd said: “We are so excited to be a part of such a significant milestone in Australia, where we can ring in the start of a new era in motoring - bringing affordable EV’s to Australians and changing the landscape to greener, more affordable transport in the country”.

The Victorian unveiling follows the first national display of the BYD Atto 3, revealed last month by Socceroos star, and part owner of BYD Distributors EVDirect, Tim Cahill at AutoMall West in Brisbane.

The BYD order books are currently open, with customer deliveries commencing before the end of the year.
