Berkshire Hathaway-backed BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles, has introduced a range of pure-electric vehicles to consumers in Spain.
Three models make up BYD’s collection debuting in Spain: the BYD ATTO 3 C-Segment SUV, the BYD TANG SUV, and the BYD HAN executive sedan. All feature BYD’s innovative technology that is inspiring the EV market on a global scale, bringing exciting new 100% electric eco-friendly vehicle choices with high levels of standard equipment to consumers in Spain.
BYD customers in Spain will have local sales and aftersales support from three of the country’s most established automotive distribution groups: Astara, Quadis, and Caetano Retail Spain. There will be two BYD Pioneer Stores opening soon, one in Barcelona (Avenida Aragó 29) and the other in Madrid, on 20 Concha Espina Street, giving customers the opportunity to view and experience the future ways of mobility.
Customers in Spain now have access to electric vehicles such as the expressive BYD ATTO 3, a C-Segment SUV with modern European design, creating a dynamic silhouette. The BYD ATTO 3 offers exceptional intelligence and efficiency derived from pioneering EV technology. It is the first SUV to be built on BYD’s latest e-Platform 3.0. With a 60.5 kWh battery, the BYD ATTO 3 has a WLTP city range of 565 km and 420 km (WLTP combined) with an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 7.3s.
