The Atto 3 is BYD's compact electric SUV and one of its best-selling export models. It is sold as the Yuan Plus in China. Here is what it costs in the main markets, what drives the price and what to check before buying a used one.

Indicative starting prices, September 2026. Prices change often — confirm with an official BYD dealer.
What you get for the money
The Atto 3 uses BYD's Blade (LFP) battery, with a standard and an extended-range version in most markets. It is roomy for its size, well equipped as standard and comes with BYD's long warranty, which is a large part of its value case.
Atto 3 vs Tesla Model Y
The Atto 3 is smaller and cheaper than the Model Y. If you want the lowest price for a practical electric SUV, the Atto 3 wins; if you want a like-for-like Model Y rival, compare BYD's larger Sealion 7. See our BYD vs Tesla guide for the full comparison.
Buying a used Atto 3
The Atto 3 has been on sale in Australia and the UK since 2022, so used ones are common. Check the VIN to confirm the battery size and build year, look for open recalls and software updates, and ask for the service history and a battery health report.
BYD Atto 3 warranty (UK and Australia)
A new Atto 3 comes with BYD's standard cover in both markets: 6 years on the car and 8 years on the Blade battery and drive unit, with the battery guaranteed to keep at least 70% state of health. Only the distance limits differ. A used Atto 3 keeps whatever is left of that cover, counted from its original delivery date — confirm the start date with a BYD dealer using the VIN. In Australia the current terms were backdated to the first Atto 3s delivered in August 2022, so early cars may have more cover left than sellers expect. A privately imported Atto 3 is usually not covered by the local distributor.
| Cover | United Kingdom | Australia |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | 6 years / 93,750 miles | 6 years / 150,000 km |
| Battery (min. 70% SOH) | 8 years / 155,000 miles (250,000 km) | 8 years / 160,000 km |
| Drive unit | 8 years / 93,750 miles | 8 years / 160,000 km |
New cars bought through the official BYD network, October 2026. A used car keeps the balance from its original delivery date.
