BEIJING: At Auto China 2026, BYD debuted the third generation of the Yuan Plus (Atto 3) with Flash Charging technology, God's Eye B and LiDAR-assisted automated driving systems, and an intelligent cabin.
With more than 1.1 million units sold in 116 markets around the world, the Yuan Plus (Atto 3) is one of BYD's most popular global models.
The new design incorporates a longer wheelbase than the second-generation model, complete with a 'golden ratio' between bodywork and glass area.
A character line, inspired by a city skyline, runs along with flanks, while the D-pillar creates a 'floating roof' effect.
There are semi-concealed door handles, and the tail-lights feature a new LED design that gives a three-dimensional effect.
The rear logo is also illuminated to resemble an energy emblem formed of converging starbursts.
A new two-spoke steering wheel design incorporates buttons with a concave profile, enhancing tactile quality and usability; it's now possible to select gears without taking your hands off the wheel.
The cabin is bathed in natural light, thanks to a huge panoramic glass roof.
There's a total of 39 storage areas throughout the vehicle, including a 750-litre trunk and a 180-litre powered front trunk that can be opened with a simple tap.
Features include a 16-speaker audio system, a special front passenger seat with extra reclining function for relaxing on longer journeys, an air-conditioner-powered refrigerator that can heat and cool items, 50W wireless phone charging, 60W USB Type-C charging and 256-colour ambient lighting.
