Ownership & Running Costs
Warranty	5 years note BYD SA states, listing the term model by model: "BYD ATTO 3 / BYD SEAL / BYD SEALION 6 DM-i / BYD SEALION 7 / BYD SHARK 6 DMO / BYD ATTO 8/ BYD SEALION 5 DM-i: 5 years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first". The same list gives DOLPHIN a different term, so this is model-level and not a brand-wide default. It is not derivative-level: the page names ATTO 3, not Extended Range. FIRST SOURCE FOR THIS RECORD - it previously had no _sources.ownership at all and sat at unverified on the note "5yr/100,000km vehicle warranty widely reported". Widely reported is not a source.
Warranty distance	100 000 km 20 000 km/year · derived Compare warranties across all SUVs → note See warranty_years.
Service interval (distance)	20 000 km note 20 000 km. BYD SA does not publish a service interval on the specification sheet or the model page; two current South African sources state the same figure — a franchised BYD dealer (eastvaal.co.za, BYD Atto 3 model page) and ChargePoint SA’s 2025 Atto 3 guide.
Service interval (time)	12 months note 12 months, from the same two current South African sources as service_interval_km. Not published by BYD SA.

Spare wheel & SA ownership
Spare wheel	Repair kit · unverified Compare spare wheels across all SUVs → note Only a third-party source states this (www.carexpert.com.au): "Below the boot floor you get a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel". No manufacturer document found, so confidence is unverified. AU review of the exact derivative; no BYD SA statement found.
Service network	~22 authorised service points, as at 18 August 2026 In 5 of the 9 provinces. Sales-and-aftersales flag in BYD's own locator: 22 of 63 SA pins. The other 41 are sales-only and are excluded. Compare service networks across all brands →

Electrification
Range (WLTP)	420 km
Electric-only range	N/A
Battery (usable)	60.5 kWh note Widely reported for the Extended Range variant.
Battery (gross)	60.48 kWh note Battery capacity is printed as the pair 49.92 / 60.48 kWh; 60.48 kWh is the Extended Range column. This is the nominal/gross figure the sheet publishes. BYD South Africa, ATTO 3 vehicle specification sheet linked from byd.com/za/electric-cars/atto3 (BYD ATTO 3 Vehicle Specifications.pdf), read 4 Sep 2026. The sheet prints Standard Range / Extended Range as a pair; this record is the Extended Range. The mapping is confirmed by the record’s existing official WLTP figure of 420 km, which is the second value of the sheet’s "345 / 420".
Max DC charging	Not specified
Max AC charging	7 kW note AC charging port: Type 2, 7 kW, matching the 7 kW wall charger named on BYD SA’s model page. Was unverified. BYD South Africa, ATTO 3 vehicle specification sheet linked from byd.com/za/electric-cars/atto3 (BYD ATTO 3 Vehicle Specifications.pdf), read 4 Sep 2026. The sheet prints Standard Range / Extended Range as a pair; this record is the Extended Range. The mapping is confirmed by the record’s existing official WLTP figure of 420 km, which is the second value of the sheet’s "345 / 420".
DC charge 10-80%	Not specified
Battery warranty	8 years note BYD SA states: "The warranty period of the Power Battery is 8 years or 200,000 km, whichever comes first." Source: https://www.byd.com/za/service-maintenance (checked 2026-08-27). CORRECTION: battery_warranty_km was 150000 on this record, at unverified, on the note "Widely reported 8yr/150,000km battery warranty." The manufacturer's own SA statement says 200 000. The confidence was honest; the figure was wrong by 50 000 km.
Battery warranty distance	200 000 km note See battery_warranty_years, including the 150 000 -> 200 000 correction.

What we can't tell you yet

These fields are not confirmed from an official South African source. Rather than guess, we've left them marked as unknown.

Boot (behind last row)
Boot (standard) (unverified) — BYD South Africa’s specification sheet prints luggage capacity without naming a measurement standard, so the standard is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be VDA or SAE. Matches how the Sportage and Tiguan records already hold this field.
