What’s new with the BYD Atto 3 2024?
Being the Extended Range model, the “upgraded” Atto 3 2024 gets all the bells and whistles. It still gets the same single 150kW motor (201hp) driving the front wheels with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.3 seconds.
Being the high-spec model, it gets a larger 60.48kWh LFP battery with a WLTP-rated range of 420km on a single charge (NEDC: 480km). It can do DC charging up to 88kW, while AC charging is still a single-phase 7kW.
Compared to its previous BYD Atto 3 2024 (Standard Range), the upgraded model gets larger 18″ wheels, a total of 8 speakers and a built-in PM 2.5 Air filter. Other extras include multi-colour ambient lighting on the door handle with music rhythm mode.
Unlike the previous models, the BYD Atto 3 2024 now gets a simplified BYD logo on the boot (No more “Build Your Dreams”) and they ride on Continental EcoContact 6 Q tyres (No more “Atlas Batman” tyres).
