The ALL-NEW Premium 7-seater Super Hybrid Family SUV

The ATTO 8 DM is BYD's largest plug-in hybrid SUV and the option to consider if you need seven seats alongside the efficiency benefits of a PHEV drivetrain. It is built for South African families who do school runs, weekend trips, and longer road journeys and want to reduce fuel costs without giving up the flexibility of a petrol engine on board.

Overview.

Powertrain The ATTO 8 uses BYD's Dual Mode hybrid system, which combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and Blade Battery. The system is designed to run on electricity for everyday short trips and switch to the petrol engine for longer distances. The Dual Mode platform gives you the efficiency of an EV for typical daily use and the unlimited range of a petrol vehicle when you need it.

Exterior.

Who it is for Families of five or more, or buyers who regularly carry passengers and need a third row without compromising on technology or fuel efficiency. The ATTO 8 DM suits those upgrading from a larger petrol SUV who want to reduce running costs while retaining the practicality of a full-size family vehicle.

Interior.

Interior and space The ATTO 8 DM offers three rows of seating with seven places in total. The third row is more suited to children or occasional adult use on shorter trips, as is typical of this SUV category. The first and second rows offer generous space and premium finishes. A large rotating touchscreen infotainment display is standard, along with BYD's digital instrument cluster and connected vehicle features. Driver assistance systems are included as part of the standard specification.
