BYD launches ATTO 3 EVO with 800V charging

BYD has unveiled the ATTO 3 EVO, an updated version of its electric compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) featuring a larger battery, 800-volt electrical architecture, and DC fast charging at up to 220kW. The automaker said the model is available to order now, with first deliveries expected in spring 2026.

The ATTO 3 EVO is equipped with a 74.8kW/h Blade Battery and can charge from 10–80% in 25 minutes using DC fast charging. WLTP combined range reaches 317 miles for the rear-wheel-drive Design variant and 292 miles for the all-wheel-drive Excellence.

The Design variant produces 313PS and accelerates from 0–62mph in 5.5 seconds, while the Excellence delivers 449PS and completes the sprint in 3.9 seconds. Both versions offer 1,500kg braked towing capacity and vehicle-to-load technology rated at 3.3kW.

External dimensions remain unchanged from the previous ATTO 3, but boot capacity has increased to 490 litres, expanding to 1,360 litres with the rear seats folded. A 101-litre front trunk provides additional storage.

Interior updates include an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and 15.6-inch central touchscreen with integrated Google services. The model comes with a six-year vehicle warranty and eight-year battery warranty guaranteeing 70% state of health.

Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD, said: “The ATTO 3 EVO proves how big a step we can make as a brand in less than three years.”
