BYD has debuted a new generation of its electric SUV, sold in Australia as the BYD Atto 3, in China. The new Yuan Plus features a more chiselled design, improved battery technology, and enhanced performance. It offers a choice of two rear-wheel drive versions: a 200kW motor with a 57.6kWh battery and 540km driving range, or a 240kW version with a 68.8kWh battery and 630km range. Both use BYD's second-generation blade battery technology and ultra-fast 'flash charging' system, allowing a 10-97% recharge in nine minutes. The new model is larger than its predecessor, with a 4665mm overall length and 2770mm wheelbase. Markets outside China, including Australia, will initially receive a revised version of the current Atto 3, known as the Atto 3 Evo, before potentially receiving the new model.
