BYD ATTO 3

The BYD ATTO 3 is a battery-electric crossover from BYD, shown on the maker's global and European sites. This profile covers only what those pages state, so some figures buyers often look for are not included.

Drive and battery

The page gives a 150 kW motor and a 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.3 seconds. The car uses the company's Blade Battery, a lithium iron phosphate design that BYD rates for more than 5,000 charge and discharge cycles. The page also reports that the pack passed a nail penetration test without smoke or fire, with surface temperatures between 30 and 60 degrees Celsius. A battery capacity in kilowatt hours and a range figure are not given on the pages read.

Charging

DC fast charging reaches up to 88 kW, and the page puts the climb from 30 percent to 80 percent at about 29 minutes. For charging at home, an 11 kW wall box is offered as an option. The charge port type is not stated.

Assistance and connectivity

Listed driver assistance covers blind spot detection, lane keep assistance, intelligent cruise control below 60 km/h, and rear cross traffic alert with rear cross traffic braking. The page says the car supports over-the-air system upgrades. Connected services run through a BYD cloud service used from a phone app. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Spotify and HERE Maps are available in limited markets only.

Safety and ownership

The European page mentions a five-star overall rating, but the pages read do not link to the rating body, so it is not recorded as a verified safety result here. Warranty terms and prices are also not shown on the pages read.
