BYD Atto 3

The BYD Atto 3, also marketed as BYD Yuan Plus in China and several Latin American countries, is a battery electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured by BYD Auto. Part of the BYD Yuan series that is named after the Yuan dynasty,[9] the Yuan Plus was released in mainland China in February 2022. For many overseas markets, the vehicle is BYD's first electric passenger car model.

Naming

According to BYD, the name "Atto" was inspired by the attosecond, the smallest time scale unit in physics, depicting that the vehicle is "speedy, energetic, and dynamic".[10] Initial plans were to market the Dolphin hatchback as the Atto 2 and the Seal sedan as the Atto 4 in export markets,[11][12] however these cars ended up retaining its original name. A smaller BYD SUV model, the BYD Yuan Up is marketed as the Atto 2 in global markets alongside the other BYD Atto models like the smaller-size BYD Seagull hatchback marketed as Atto 1 in Indonesia and Australia, and the bigger-size BYD Tang L mid-size SUV marketed as BYD Atto 8 since mid-to-late 2025.

History

The Atto 3, marketed as the Yuan Plus in China, was first showcased in August 2021 at the Chengdu Auto Show, and was officially released in February 2022.[10] As part of BYD's 'Dynasty series', the Yuan Plus is marketed through Dynasty Network dealerships. As opposed the previous Yuan, the Yuan Plus is exclusively available as a battery electric vehicle, and occupies the C-segment compact crossover space (A-class in China).

During its introduction, BYD also announced its export market name, the Atto 3, and promised to dedicate a production line solely for the right hand drive markets.[13]

On 15 September 2023, BYD produced the 500,000th Yuan Plus / Atto 3 at its Hefei plant, 19 months after its introduction. 22 percent of the produced vehicles were exported.[14][15] In June 2025, BYD announced one million had been produced.[16]

Design

The Atto 3 / Yuan Plus is based on BYD's all-electric e-Platform 3.0, unlike the older models in the Dynasty Series that are modified from internal combustion and plug-in hybrid platforms. It features MacPherson strut front suspension, and multi-link independent rear suspension.[17]

The interior design of the Atto 3 / Yuan Plus was inspired by fitness culture and features aesthetics resembling gym and sports equipment such as treadmills, boxing rings, dumbbells and muscle fibres.[18][19] The centre 12.8-inch (with an optional larger 15.6-inch) infotainment system is based on Android,[17] and the screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape orientations.[20] The boot space is measured at 440 L, or 1338 L with the rear seats folded.[21]

Other changes include new front BYD logo, and black C-pillar decoration replacing silver. Black exterior paint option and blue-black interior colour option also became available.[22]

2025

In January 2025, BYD rolled out the 2025 model year Atto 3 for global markets.

2026

Atto 3 Evo

In early 2026, BYD introduced an updated version of the model for the European market, designated as the Atto 3 Evo. The Atto 3 Evo features new styling adopted from the 2025 facelift BYD Yuan Plus, such as redesigned front and rear bumpers, revised side skirts and rear spoiler, and new 18-inch alloy wheels.

The vehicle is based on a revised 800-volt architecture of the e-Platform 3.0. Instead of using a front-wheel-drive layout, the Atto 3 Evo adopts either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations. Technical upgrades include a larger 74.8 kWh LFP battery, and DC fast charging up to 220 kW, allowing for a 10 to 80 percent charge in 25 minutes.

The rear-wheel-drive Design trim produces 230 kW and 380 Nm of torque, while the all-wheel-drive Excellence trim utilizes a dual-motor setup generating 330 kW and 560 N⋅m (413 lb⋅ft). The rear suspension was also upgraded from a four-link to a five-link independent system.

The interior underwent functional changes, most notably the relocation of the gear selector to the steering column. New equipment includes an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, a standard 15.6-inch rotating infotainment screen with an AI-enhanced voice assistant, and a head-up display for the Excellence trim. Cargo capacity was increased to 490 L in the boot, or 1360 L with the seats folded, supplemented by a new 101 L front trunk (frunk). The maximum unbraked towing capacity was increased to 1500 kg.[25]

Reception

In a review published in March 2023, the magazine Top Gear rated the car 7/10, noting that "broadly, we're impressed [...] it drives decently under most circumstances [...] depressing though it is to say, in this class[,] 'decent' is as good as it gets," while noting its soggy brakes and small boot space. The media also recorded a 0-62 mph acceleration time in 7.3 seconds.[75] British Auto Express commented that "BYD has done a good job with the brakes".[76] The magazine Car noted that the Atto 3 supports DC rapid charging, but only at speeds up to 88 kW, which means a 30–80% boost takes around 29 minutes. The media Drive awarded the Atto 3 the "2023 Drive Car of the Year Best EV under $70,000" award in March 2023, due to its exceptional price, comfort, roominess and performance. The publication noted its poor tyre performance, unintuitive 'P' park button, and an unrefined lane-keeping assistance system, rating it 7.1/10.[77] The publication Paul Tan commented that the Atto 3's seats are "among the most comfortable chairs we’ve ever sat in."[78] The Autocar India magazine stated that the vehicle feels roomy due to its long wheelbase and the presence of a sunroof, and features well-built cabin panels.[79]

Recall

On 30 September 2024, BYD recalled 96,714 Dolphin and Yuan Plus vehicles in China due to a fire risk. The affected vehicles were manufactured between November 2022 and December 2023. At the time, it was BYD's largest recall to date. The issue involves a defect in the production of the electric power steering column assembly (CEPS) controller. When the tool cover is closed, it may press against internal components, causing tiny cracks. Over time, these cracks may expand and lead to short circuits, overheating, or fires. BYD dealers would install insulation pads on the controllers to eliminate the safety risk.[80][81]

Safety

In a 2022 testing, the Atto 3 was rated 5 stars in Euro NCAP.[82]
