The new, 2026 BYD Atto 3 that was unveiled last month has been shown as the Yuan Plus at Auto China 2026 in Beijing, and the latest model is physically larger than the model it succeeds. This measures 4,665 mm long, 1,895 mm wide and 1,675 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,770 mm, making its 210 mm longer, 20 mm wider and 60 mm taller than the current Atto 3; kerb weight is claimed to be 1,690 kg. Two wheel designs are offered for the 2026 Atto 3, and these measure 18 to 19 inches in diameter. The enlarged exterior dimensions bring more luggage space; according to Drive, luggage capacity for the Yuan Plus/Atto 3 is 750 litres, with an additional 180 litres of space in the frunk. The 2026 Atto 3 takes after the Atto 3 Evo for Europe in terms of powertrain layout, in making the switch to a rear-wheel-drive configuration. In China, the 2026 Atto 3 gets a rear-mounted motor that outputs 200 kW (272 PS) or 240 kW (326 PS). The 272 PS powertrain draws from a 57.54 kWh LFP battery that offers up to 540 km of range on the CLTC cycle (443 km WLTP) while the 326 PS powertrain is powered by a 68.55 kWh battery with up to 630 km of CLTC range (517 km WLTP). Both powertrain variants draw from the BYD Blade 2.0 battery. The new-generation battery pack gets flash charging technology that enables a claimed 10-70% recharge in five minutes, or 10-97% in nine minutes. For comparison, the Atto 3 Evo for Europe gets a 74.8 kWh battery pack yielding 510 km of range (WLTP) for the 313 PS/380 Nm RWD variant, and 470 km (WLTP) for the 449 PS/560 Nm dual-motor AWD variant.
