If that’s not enough, BYD says there’s a total of 39 storage areas dotted around the cabin, including a tray in the dashboard and space underneath the floating centre console which also has dual wireless charging pads.
The new Atto 3 is powered by the second-generation of BYD’s famous Blade Battery design which is more energy dense and enables cars to reach the ridiculously high speeds the company’s new 1,500kW Flash Chargers can deliver.
We don’t know how fast the new Atto 3 can charge yet, but with this technology, the Denza Z9GT shooting brake estate – which has a battery about twice the size of this family SUV’s – needs just 9 minutes to get from 10 to 97 per cent charge. For comparison, the current Atto 3 needs at least 25 minutes to complete a 10 to 80 per cent top-up.
In China, the new Atto 3 will be available with two powertrains. The entry-level model gets a 57.5kWh battery, 268bhp e-motor and a 336-mile range, while higher-spec examples have a larger 68.5kWh battery, 322bhp on tap and a 392-mile range. Those figures are based on the Chinese CLTC test cycle, not the stricter WLTP standard used in Europe.
As we mentioned, the new BYD Atto 3 Evo has only just gone on sale in the UK, so it’s safe to assume we won’t be getting this latest evolution for a while. We expect it’ll come here either late next year or potentially early 2028.
