2026 BYD Atto 1 EV launched in Singapore – 88 PS, 322 km WLTP range, Level 2 ADAS; RM555k with Cat A COE
by Gerard Lye · Paul Tan's Automotive NewsSingapore joins Thailand and Indonesia in welcoming the BYD Atto 1 (also known as the Seagull, Dolphin Mini and Dolphin Surf), which goes on sale in the island country as the brand’s smallest offering. The sole official distributor of BYD vehicles in Singapore is Vantage Automotive, a subsidiary of Sime Motors.
Priced at SGD172,888 (about RM555k) with guaranteed COE (certificate of entitlement), the Atto 1 is offered in a sole Dynamic variant with a 43.2-kWh Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that is good for a WTLP-rated driving range of 322 km.
The Blade battery powers front electric motor rated at 88 PS (87 hp or 65 kW) and 175 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 12.1 seconds and top speed of 150 km/h. With a power output below 110 kW, the Atto 1 qualifies for a Category A COE.
Meanwhile its Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES) A banding provides buyers with a rebate offset directly against the vehicle’s additional registration fee (ARF), with further savings being in the form of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Early Adoption Incentive (EEAI). In total, BYD Singapore says buyers can secure as much SGD30,000 (RM96k) in rebates.
