Compact Crossover SUV · from $39,695
The BYD Atto 3, known as the Yuan Plus in its home market of China and various Latin American countries, represents a significant leap forward for BYD Auto in the realm of electric mobility. This compact crossover SUV, belonging to the C-segment category (or A-class in China), is a part of the Yuan series, which draws its name from the Yuan dynasty, symbolizing strength and innovation. Launched in mainland China in February 2022, the Atto 3/Yuan Plus heralds BYD's foray into electric passenger vehicles for many international markets. The vehicle's name, "Atto," is derived from the attosecond, showcasing the model's quick, energetic, and dynamic nature. Unlike its predecessors in the Yuan lineup, the Yuan Plus exclusively features a battery electric vehicle (BEV) model and is based on BYD's advanced all-electric e-Platform 3.0, setting a new standard for the brand's commitment to electric propulsion. The Atto 3 stands out with its sporty and innovative interior design, inspired by fitness culture, incorporating elements reminiscent of gym and sports equipment. This creative approach aims to evoke a sense of energy and vitality within the cabin, making every drive a refreshing experience. The vehicle comes equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. At the heart of the Atto 3's tech offerings is a 12.8-inch infotainment system, expandable to an optional 15.6 inches, based on Android and capable of rotating between portrait and landscape modes, a feature that adds a layer of versatility and convenience for the driver and passengers alike. With a boot space of 440 liters, expandable to 1,338 liters with the rear seats folded, the Atto 3 combines practicality with the sleek design and dynamic performance expected of a modern electric SUV.
