BYD Reveals Larger Next‑Gen Atto 3 With Nine‑Minute 10%–97% ‘Flash’ Charge

The redesign promises longer range plus a nine‑minute 10%–97% charge using second‑generation blade batteries.

Overview

  • BYD unveiled the next‑generation Atto 3 at Auto China in Beijing, where it carries the Yuan Plus name for the Chinese market.
  • The SUV uses second‑generation blade LFP batteries, and BYD claims a 10% to 97% recharge in as little as nine minutes on its planned 1,500 kW flash chargers.
  • Two battery options are listed for China, a 57.6 kWh pack with a quoted 540 km CLTC range and a 68.8 kWh pack with a quoted 630 km CLTC range.
  • Powertrain choices include rear‑wheel‑drive single‑motor versions rated at 200 kW and 240 kW, with a dual‑motor configuration also shown at about 322 hp.
  • The new model grows to 4,665 mm in length with a 2,770 mm wheelbase and adds a 750‑liter boot, a 180‑liter front trunk, and a more conventional cabin with features like a small fridge, while international rollout remains uncertain as some markets such as Australia are set to get an interim Atto 3 Evo first.
