The Saudi automotive market is experiencing a major shift as Chinese brands gain ground, with BYD strengthening its presence through models designed for families who value advanced technology and fuel efficiency. With the launch of the all new BYD ATTO 8, a seven seater hybrid SUV, the brand targets Saudi drivers seeking a spacious, comfortable, and tech savvy vehicle that offers long range and economical operation, making it an ideal option for extended journeys and intercity travel.

BYD ATTO 8 introduces the brand’s first seven seat SUV in Saudi Arabia, redefining the local hybrid family car concept, as highlighted by the company during its official launch at the Riyadh Motor Show. This Super Hybrid SUV is powered by BYD’s advanced DM-i technology, blending an efficient gasoline engine with an innovative electric system for lively performance and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 4.9 seconds, according to official figures.

Key specifications include:

  • Fuel consumption rate close to 8.5 liters per 100 km

  • Starting price from 156,900 SAR for the Premium trim as listed on the official website

ATTO 8 targets families seeking a single vehicle that covers all needs, from daily commutes to weekend getaways, positioning itself as a direct competitor to higher priced models in its segment.

Spacious Cabin Designed for Family Comfort: How Does ATTO 8 Deliver a Premium Experience?


BYD ATTO 8 places a strong emphasis on passenger comfort through a roomy seven seat interior, ensuring each seat is fully usable. The third row folds and adjusts easily to provide flexibility for both passengers and luggage, making it ideal for large families and weekend getaways.

Key cabin features include:

  • Cloud Soft seats with massage and ventilation available in higher trims

ATTO 8 supports a smart family lifestyle, whether in busy city traffic or on highways between regions.

Super Hybrid DM-i System: What Sets It Apart from Other Hybrid SUVs?


ATTO 8 uses BYD’s DM-i Super Hybrid system, combining an efficient gasoline engine with the brand’s Blade battery, renowned for its high safety standards and exceptional durability against thermal runaway. This gives families added confidence when choosing a hybrid vehicle.

The system stands out with:

  • Intelligent switching between full electric drive, gasoline engine drive, or a blend of both, adapting to road conditions

  • Reduced fuel consumption in the city, with the benefit of a fuel tank for long distance trips

With its advanced hybrid technology and thoughtful engineering, BYD ATTO 8 offers a new solution in Saudi Arabia for families seeking a spacious, well equipped, and intelligent hybrid SUV ready for all daily and weekly needs, delivering the highest levels of comfort, safety, and smart convenience.
