The BYD Atto 3 (known as the Yuan Plus in China) is a 100% electric compact SUV based on the Chinese manufacturer's e-Platform 3.0. Spearheading BYD's European offensive, it stands out with its 'Blade' battery technology (LFP - Lithium Iron Phosphate) integrated into the chassis, renowned for its high safety and longevity. Featuring a highly original interior design (inspired by the worlds of music and fitness) and a plethora of standard equipment (heat pump, V2L, panoramic roof), it positions itself as a formidable alternative to European and Korean benchmarks. Although its fast charging power is modest (88 kW max), its efficiency and overall reliability make it a very rational choice. Overall rating: 8/10.
The BYD Atto 3 is an extremely relevant choice for buyers looking for a family-friendly, comfortable, and over-equipped electric SUV. Its mechanical and electrical reliability is excellent, driven by BYD's mastery in battery manufacturing (Blade LFP technology). The only real flaws are peripheral: original equipment tires that must be replaced for safety reasons in the rain, and driving aids that need to be deactivated or configured at each start-up. If the modest fast charging (88 kW) is not a hindrance for your occasional long trips, it is a highly recommended purchase.
