New Vehicle Warranty Terms

The standard vehicle guarantee applies to all variants of the BYD ATTO 3, including the Essential, Dynamic, and Premium models. The six-year manufacturer warranty terms and conditions for the BYD ATTO 3 dictate a coverage period of six years or 150,000 km, whichever occurs first. This period begins on the date of first registration, although for owners in Western Australia, the commencement date is the date of delivery.

This coverage guarantees the vehicle against defects in factory materials or workmanship. For any repairs or claims under this guarantee, owners should consult an authorised BYD dealer. The national retail partner for BYD vehicles is Eagers Automotive Limited, and the dealership network covers all Australian states and territories. The official contact centre operates Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm AEST.

Traction Battery and Electric Drive Unit

Built on the BYD e-Platform 3.0 and e-Platform 3.0 Evo, the BYD ATTO 3 is powered exclusively by a BYD Blade Battery and a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The eight-year traction battery warranty coverage extends for eight years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. This applies to the 49.92 kWh battery found in the Essential variant and the larger capacities like the 60.48 kWh and 74.88 kWh batteries.

Crucially, this guarantee includes a 70% battery capacity retention baseline. If owners have concerns about the lifespan and degradation of the BYD ATTO 3 Blade battery, an official state of health (SOH) battery check can determine if the capacity has fallen below this threshold. If a valid claim is made, BYD may repair or replace the battery with a new, reconditioned, or remanufactured part at its sole discretion.

The electric drive unit, which comprises the drive motor and the drive motor controller, is covered by the identical eight-year or 160,000 km term. When investigating high-voltage systems, it is strictly required that any diagnosis or repair must be done by an authorised BYD dealer or qualified technician. High-voltage orange cables must not be touched or opened by owners. Any technical procedures are strictly subject to manufacturer specifications.

Specific Component Coverages

Beyond the primary vehicle and powertrain coverage, several specific components carry independent warranty periods. Genuine spare parts imported by BYD Australia, purchased by owners, and installed by an authorised BYD Retailer receive 12 months of coverage from the date of purchase. Ensure all receipts and warranty books are kept safe to validate these claims.

Paint application defects, such as overspray, low gloss, colour mismatch, or runs, are covered for one year. The lead-acid 12V auxiliary starting battery is guaranteed for 12 months or 20,000 km, whichever occurs first. Additionally, the emergency charging and discharging device, which includes the AC charging connection device and the discharge connection device, carries a 12-month guarantee.

Wear and tear items have distinct limitations. Items for which a charge may be made include servicing fluids, wheel alignment and balancing, brake linings, wiper blades, transmitter batteries, gas struts, and body rattles or squeaks reported after 12 months or 20,000 km. Tyres are explicitly excluded from the manufacturer guarantee, as individual tyre manufacturer warranties apply. To confirm the exact status of any specific component, refer to the official owner’s manual.

Conditions That May Void Coverage

Maintaining the warranty requires strict adherence to operating parameters. Coverage does not extend to normal wear and tear or regular maintenance items. Work performed by anyone other than an authorised BYD Service Centre may compromise the guarantee.

Damage resulting from accident, flood, or water ingress from deep-water wading is excluded. The vehicle must not be used for racing or similar competitive events. Loading or towing beyond specifications will void coverage; the unbraked towing capacity is 750 kg across all variants, while the maximum braked towing capacity is up to 1,500 kg depending on the model.

Unauthorised modifications or third-party conversions are expressly prohibited. This includes software alterations, additions to the vehicle’s electrical architecture, or ECU tuning. Furthermore, BYD vehicles run exclusively on electric powertrains; any theoretical aftermarket LPG or autogas conversion is void of manufacturer warranty, and there is no support for such alterations. Any damage resulting from the use of non-BYD genuine or non-recommended parts is also excluded. For complex inquiries regarding vehicle modifications, confirm with BYD Automotive Australia.

Owner Responsibilities and Servicing

To keep the guarantee intact, the logbook servicing must be completed strictly per the manufacturer’s recommendations. For the BYD ATTO 3, scheduled maintenance is required every 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Items recorded in the service logbook include the replacement of brake fluid and the e-motor controller coolant. Severe operating conditions may require shortened intervals. Always keep the logbook up to date and retain all service receipts.

Battery care is a vital owner responsibility. If the vehicle is unused for more than seven days, the power battery should be kept at a 40% to 60% state of charge. If left unused for more than three months, it must be fully charged and then discharged back to the 40% to 60% range every three months. Allowing the state of charge to drop to 0% without promptly recharging can cause damage that is not covered by the guarantee.

A full charge from below 10% via AC charging every three to six months aids range estimation. Furthermore, failure to follow correct charging procedures can void coverage, whether utilising a standard home wallbox or accessing DC fast charging via the CCS 2 connector, which offers speeds of 88 kW on the ATTO 3 Premium, or up to 220 kW on the ATTO 3 EVO Premium. For full details on warning lights or specific fluids, refer to the official owner’s manual.
