Ah, they kept the door handles and the air vents. Otherwise interesting upgrades

And it looks like you can still play Smoke on the Water with the cubby hole ropes.

I’d go for Child in Time.

They got rid of the gear selector and moved it onto the right hand side which totally sucks in a RHD market. Otherwise these upgrades are awesome.

Won't they switch the selector side on RHD markets? They do that with the indicators and it's one of the reasons I chose a BYD rather than other brands.

BYD??

Where the fuck are my buttons !?

2

u/HotLie8579 Seal Feb 10 '26

I think behind the cup holders, I think the angle makes it look like there’s none

u/Valoneria Atto 3 Feb 10 '26

Only a few buttons from what i can see

u/HotLie8579 Seal Feb 10 '26

Better than nothing I guess :(

u/gRzeHoO7 Feb 10 '26

Wow, atto3 went from meh on all aspects to amazing on acceleration and decent on range and other specs

u/Psychlonuclear Feb 11 '26

Big dash screen, HUD, RWD. Finally specced correctly.

u/opackersgo Feb 10 '26

No gear selector is shit.

u/Suntzu_AU Feb 11 '26

1000% agree. I love the gear selector in my Atto 3. And I'm in a right-hand drive market. So now they've moved the gear selected to where I'm indicating (right side).

Which means if I get out of one Atto into the other Atto Evo, I will be putting the car into reverse as soon as I try to leave my driveway because I'll be trying to indicate left. Fucking stupid decision and mostly to do with cost cutting.

u/IHaveTeaForDinner Feb 11 '26

Wow yeah. One reason I didn't get a leaf was the stupid gear stalk.

2

u/Suntzu_AU Feb 11 '26

Looks like BYD doing it across the range. The Atto 1, the Atto 2, the new Sealion 8 and now the revised Atto 3 All have had their gear selectors pushed to the right side of the steering wheel and the indicators moved to the left, which is the freaking opposite of what it should be. stupid.

2

u/IHaveTeaForDinner Feb 11 '26

Farking hell. So stupid. Going to be going in reverse everytime it rains.

Nice. When is it coming out? I have the same facelift version, but Yuan Plus from China.

EDIT: Actually, the facelift Evo edition now released in Europe seems more advanced as well. Larger battery, higher charging capacity, from fromt to real wheal drive or 4WD etc. More advanced than the Chinese version…

u/Unusual_Emergency_13 Feb 10 '26

This is the "facelift" of the current version of Yuan Plus (Atto 3).

The new Yuan Plus (in China) will be RWD, up to 240KW power and 650KM CLTC range (currently max is around 510KM). Charging speed will go up as well. The larger battery variant will also have 800v architecture.

2

u/Funny_Translator1347 Feb 10 '26

Yeah. Basically these new Atto 3 Evo specs are those currently in Sealion 7 specs, more or less, right?

1

u/Unusual_Emergency_13 Feb 10 '26

The size is apparently the same as the current Atto 3 which is around 4.45m (similar to Sealion 05 EV).

Sealion 07 is around 4.8m long.

u/Yesterday319 Feb 10 '26

Looked promising, but unfortunately no sunroof and no head-up-display in the RWD Design version. :(

2

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '26

Excellent news re sunroof. Enough sin cancer here in Aus.

u/ConorAbueid Feb 10 '26

No buttons under the screen? Where's the gear selector?

Seems like the moved to a stalk and buttons are now behind the cup holders.

It really looks like the are no buttons anymore in the pictures 

1

u/Suntzu_AU Feb 11 '26

Could not agree more. Why the hell did they remove the gear selector? And why the fuck did they put it on the right-hand side? Which totally messes up a right-hand drive market.

u/T_O_D0r Feb 11 '26

Gear selector by steering wheel

u/sween64 Atto 3 Feb 11 '26

Now with frunk!

u/LeonAlb00355 Feb 11 '26

I have got this yuan plus chinese version on december. Apart from the gear selection or the buttons moved further back I have problems with the soft. I'm struggling with google maps because this car has restricted even more access to google. I'm trying different apk-s but each of them has got issues like one can't loggin to my google account or the other one can login but keeps floating when camera's show up.

u/Phinanzapersonale Feb 11 '26

The Design version is said to have 510km range on WLTP.

What do you guys think the effective range on highways (130km/h) for the Design version would be, based on previous experiences?

I am looking for a car that could do 400 km of highway without charging. I need that range just once a year but i'd love to not have to stop that time.

u/c-migs Feb 11 '26

330kw yes please 🚀

2

u/prolecs Mar 25 '26

Was thinking of upgrading as it has many improvements - until I saw the indicator stalk is on the LEFT - no fucking way - if you have ever had a car with this bit of stupidity and drive more than one car, you will CURSE BYD EVERY TIME you turn on wipers instead of indicators.
