From Electrifying.
Join Nicola for the first drive of the updated 2026 BYD Atto 3 Evo, the car that originally launched BYD in the UK back in 2023 — but now returns with a long list of upgrades under the skin.
At first glance it might look familiar, but BYD says this isn’t just a refresh. There’s a bigger battery, new 800-volt architecture, faster charging, more power, revised suspension and updated tech aimed at making the Atto 3 more competitive than ever in the electric SUV market.
Inside, you’ll find a smarter infotainment system with Google integration, improved materials, extra storage and even a bigger boot and frunk. But does it actually feel new to drive? And have the changes made it better — or just… different?
In this video Nicola gets behind the wheel in Madrid to find out what’s changed, how it drives, whether the new performance makes sense for a family SUV, and if the Atto 3 Evo deserves another look in a very crowded EV segment.
