Japanese auto media closely watch the launch of BYD's new technology models

According to a report by AUTO CAR JAPAN on April 29, BYD unveiled its next-generation electric crossover, the "Atto 3," at the Beijing Auto Show, with a detailed introduction.

The article states: The new "Atto 3" features a sharp design, extended driving range, and a fast-charging technology called "Flash." This model will be sold in the Chinese market under the name "Yuan Plus."

From a design perspective, it is clearly an evolution of the "Atto 3 Evo," the current version available in the market, which adopts a rounded body and a "dragon"-inspired front fascia.

The latest model has increased the wheelbase by 50 millimeters to enhance interior space, and features LED light bars at the rear. The interior is refined, with digital displays embedded within the instrument panel (unlike the current model, where they appear "floating" in front of the dashboard). However, the large central touchscreen is retained.

Passenger capacity remains at five, but trunk capacity has increased from 490 liters to 750 liters. Storage space under the hood has also grown from 101 liters to 180 liters. The hood itself has been upgraded from manual to electric.

The new "Atto 3" will be offered in two versions in China, both rear-wheel drive: one with a maximum output power of 272 horsepower and a cruising range of 540 kilometers, and another with 325 horsepower and a range of 630 kilometers. These figures are based on China's CLTC test cycle, which is more lenient than the WLTP standard used in Europe.

The current "Atto 3 Evo" is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, so it is expected that the new model will introduce additional variants as well.

When connected to BYD’s 1,500 kW fast charger, the battery can charge from 10% to 97% in just 9 minutes.

High-power charging will soon be launched in the UK market, coinciding with the release of BYD’s luxury brand flagship model, the "Denza Z9 GT."

The "Atto 3 Evo" has just debuted in Europe and the UK markets, and the new "Atto 3" is expected to take at least another year before entering the European market.
