First BYD ATTO 3 on Kerry roads – what is hot and what is not in the Kingdom so far this year  

First BYD ATTO 3 on Kerry roads – what is hot and what is not in the Kingdom so far this year  

Chinese car giant BYD entered the Irish car market in February this year.

The brand is imported into Ireland by Motor Distributors Ltd, the same firm behind Mercedes Benz in this country.

BYD is the world’s biggest manufacturer of electric cars – bigger than Tesla since last year.

At the time of the launch, MDL said it would have cars on Irish roads by the summer and so it has come to pass that a BYD ATTO 3 has been registered in Kerry in July.

The car is built on the company’s new generation platform, and the front-wheel drive EV claims a range of 420km on a full charge of its Blade Battery 60.5kWh power unit.

BYD stands for Build Your Dreams!
