Here, we’ll discuss the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV in more detail, including its three variations, technical specifications, features, and the latest price in Nepal.
BYD Atto 3: Everything You Need to Know
BYD Atto 3 is the first global electric car from the China-based EV maker. In its local market, the care goes by the Yuan Plus moniker.
Design
BYD Atto 3 is easy to spot as it is among the few SUV-style electric vehicles on Nepali roads. The maker has incorporated a sloppy waistline that gives the Atto 3 a sporty look. Moreover, it adds to the car’s aerodynamics, making it more efficient.
Over on the front, the car has wide headlights that give the Atto 3 the reptilian look that BYD calls Dragon Face 3.0 look.
The rear has a distinct look thanks to the continuous tail light effect achieved using a horizontal LED bar.
Interior
BYD Atto 3 ships with a vegan leather-clad sports seat. The ones on the front are electrically heated and adjustable.
The central armrest is designed after a treadmill and features a wireless charging pad for smartphones.
Adding to the premium look is the sliding panoramic sunroof. The glass roof has a sunshade that you can adjust accordingly.
BYD e-Platform 3.0
The Atto 3 comes with the BYD e-Platform 3.0. This new system builds on the existing BYD electric platform, improving low-temperature driving range, safety, and other smart car experience.
This is deeply integrated into the Atto 3’s core components, like the electric powertrain, blade battery, and heat pump system.
8-in-1 Powertrain
The car comes with what BYD claims to be the world’s first mass-produced 8-in-1 electric powertrain. As you might have guessed, the powertrain consists of 8 key components — VCU, BMS, MCU, PDU, DC-DC controller, onboard charger, drive motor, and transmission.
Heat Pump System
The heat pump system on the BYD Atto 3 is designed to work on a wide range of temperatures. BYD claims improved thermal efficiency by up to 20%. It can work in temperatures ranging between -30° C and 60°C.
