BYD Unveils Next-Generation Atto 3 With Bigger Body, New Blade Batteries and ‘Flash Charging’ Claim

Export pricing and deliveries outside China remain unconfirmed.

Overview

  • The compact electric SUV, revealed April 25 at the Beijing Auto Show, grows to 4,665 mm in length with a 2,770 mm wheelbase and a claimed 750 liters of cargo space.
  • Two second‑generation Blade Battery packs are listed for China, a 57.54 kWh unit with about 540 km CLTC range and a 68.54 kWh pack with about 630 km.
  • BYD promotes a Flash Charging system that it says can refill from roughly 10% to 97% in about nine minutes on compatible high‑power chargers.
  • The China specification includes a single rear motor rated at about 272 hp or 327 hp by variant, plus a panoramic glass roof, a 16‑speaker audio system, 256‑color ambient lighting and a LiDAR‑assisted driver‑assist suite.
  • Launch details focus on the Chinese market for now, with reporting indicating pricing is still to come and exports to markets like Australia, India and the UK are likely not before next year.
