Summary

The BYD ATTO 3 Evo RWD Design (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £38,990. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds, quicker than 63% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 252 miles (405 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 47% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 125th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.4 mi/kWh (185 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 74.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 130 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 283 miles (455 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £155 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
