New BYD Atto 3 Evo – family SUV transforms into a hot hatch

The BYD Atto 3 Evo doesn't much look like a car with a 0-62mph time of 3.9 seconds - (BYD)

BYD has revealed a comprehensively updated version of the first car it launched in the UK, the Atto 3. The electric family SUV only arrived three years ago, but the new model features far more updates than the minor exterior changes suggest.

The new Atto 3 Evo gets more power, a longer range, faster charging and greater practicality than the previous car. These changes are designed to make it more upmarket and stretch BYD’s crowded lineup – while strengthening the model’s position in the increasingly competitive electric C-segment SUV class. The model lineup has been simplified and equipment levels boosted, too.
