BYD has launched their first product that is targeted at the private buyer and it is an upmarket SUV that has been christened as the ATTO 3. This new electric vehicle is built on the company’s e-Platform 3.0 which is designed for the next generation of pure electric vehicles that will feature the Blade Battery, an 8-in-1 electric powertrain, and highly integrated domain controllers. The platform features the world’s first 8-in-1 electric powertrain (with drive motor, motor controller, reducer, onboard charger, DC converter, high-voltage distribution box, vehicle controller, and Battery Management System (BMS) integrated), resulting in a 20 per cent overall size reduction and 15 per cent weight reduction and allowing the overall efficiency to exceed 89 per cent!
Design
BYDATTO 3 features sharp lines and a strong, sporty posture adding to the vigorous aesthetics of the Dragon Face that the car sports. It has a premium upmarket look and judging by the other EVs on the road that sit in this segment, the BYD ATTO 3 would definitely win the beauty contest! The cabin is nice and spacious and has a fresh layout that is bound to gel well with customers.
