2025 BYD Atto 3/Yuan Plus Facelift: What’s New?
China’s booming electric vehicle segment pushes automakers to stay on their toes—and BYD is no exception. As the competition heats up, BYD has unveiled a sharper, smarter, and more value-packed Atto 3 (Yuan Plus in China) for 2025, hoping to reclaim its place in the compact crossover segment. The Atto 3 experienced a sales dip last year, but this refresh aims to change that narrative.
Key Design Insights
The design team has clearly worked on smoothing aerodynamic surfaces, notably reshaping the bumper and wheels to cut drag and possibly enhance range. The once "floating roof" D-pillar styling is gone, giving way to a more grounded aesthetic. The tail now sports criss-cross LED patterns similar to BYD's Dolphin model.
Subtle yet meaningful changes—such as the repositioned front cameras and added sensors—hint at the inclusion of BYD’s cutting-edge God’s Eye ADAS suite.
Inside, Tech and Comfort Blend
Beyond visual tweaks, the cabin now offers a cooler, more tech-laden experience—literally. The inclusion of a refrigerator is an unexpected but welcome touch. The 12-inch head-up display and driver-monitoring camera on the A-pillar elevate the safety and convenience quotient.
Powertrain Stays Familiar
No surprises under the hood—BYD continues with its proven 150 kW (201 hp) motor and two battery options (offering 430 km or 510 km range under CLTC).
Why It Matters
As BYD eyes international markets, this updated Atto 3 might well be the 2026 version for export markets. While the fundamentals remain steady, these design, tech, and convenience upgrades should help BYD stay competitive in the saturated EV crossover landscape.

A Quick Look Back
First introduced in China in early 2022 as the BYD Yuan Plus, the Atto 3 was designed for both domestic and global markets. As BYD’s first compact crossover based on its e-Platform 3.0, the Atto 3 quickly became one of the brand’s most exported models, helping BYD establish its EV footprint in regions like Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
