"The 2026 BYD Atto 3 Evo is an updated version of the BYD Atto 3. For 2026, the Atto 3 Evo is now RWD or AWD, while power jumps to 443 horsepower (AWD), more than double the old car. It also gains a frunk for 2026. Chinese car brands dominate much of the news cycle these days, for good reason. The country quickly went from a laughingstock, producing bad knockoffs for people who didn't have much money to choose otherwise, to pumping out world-class cars."
"Now, I didn't mind the old Atto 3. I drove one back in 2022, in France. Its compact body, roughly 60 kWh battery, felt more than adequate for what it was. The Atto 3's 8-second 0-60 time, 204 horsepower output, and 88 kW maximum charging speed were fine for a 2022-era car. Yet time marches onward, and the standards of the class have continued to increase."
"The car shifts from a front-wheel-drive design to a rear-motor, RWD design in standard form. In top trim form, the Atto 3 Evo now gains AWD, adding a second motor up front. Also, the revised design now sees the Atto 3 Evo gain a frunk. The rear-wheel drive Atto 3 Evo's is now gets 308 horsepower, able to push the car from 0-62 mph in a swift 5.5 seconds."
BYD renamed and updated the compact Atto 3 for 2026 as the Atto 3 Evo for European markets. The standard layout shifts from front-wheel drive to a rear-motor RWD configuration, while a dual-motor AWD option adds front drive. The RWD Evo delivers 308 horsepower and a 0–62 mph time of about 5.5 seconds, and the AWD variant produces 443 horsepower. The update also adds a front trunk (frunk) and represents a substantial power and packaging upgrade compared with the earlier roughly 60 kWh, 204-hp Atto 3 and its 88 kW charging capability.
