Overall Rating
BYD Yuan Plus:
The BYD Atto 3, also marketed as BYD Yuan Plus in China and several Latin American countries, is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by BYD Auto. Part of the BYD Yuan series that is named after the Yuan dynasty, the Yuan Plus was released in mainland China in February 2022. For many overseas markets, the vehicle is BYD's first electric passenger car model.
According to BYD, the name "Atto" was inspired by the attosecond, the smallest time scale unit in physics, depicting that the vehicle is "speedy, energetic, and dynamic". Initial plans were to market the Dolphin hatchback as the Atto 2 and the Seal sedan as the Atto 4 in export markets, however these cars ended up retaining its original name. A smaller BYD SUV model, the BYD Yuan Up is marketed as the Atto 2 in global markets alongside the other BYD Atto models like the smaller-size BYD Seagull hatchback marketed as Atto 1 in Indonesia and Australia, and the bigger-size BYD Tang L mid-size SUV marketed as BYD Atto 8 since mid-to-late 2025....(Read more on Wikipedia)
