BYD Atto 8 global debut
The BYD Atto 8 (Tang L) was revealed at the Tashkent International Auto Show in Uzbekistan. Previously, two crossovers represented the Atto series: the Atto 3 (Yuan Plus) and the Atto 2 (Yuan Up). The “8” digit in this vehicle’s name hints it will become a temporary flagship of this line, leaving space for the potential Atto 9 SUV.
Back to the BYD Atto 8, it debuted at the Tashkent International Auto Show with a DM-p plug-in hybrid system on board. It comprises a 1.5-liter turbocharged ICE for 115 kW (154 hp) and two electric motors with a combined power output of 400 kW (536 hp). This SUV accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. The top speed reaches 200 km/h.
Thanks to a 35.62 kWh LFP battery, the Atto 8 DM-p can run up to 150 km in electric mode under WLTC conditions. A 60-liter fuel tank allows this car to travel 1,017 km with a fuel consumption rate of 6.3 liters per 100 km. The Atto 8 DM-p could be charged with 71 kW DC. Those are decent numbers for a 7-seat family SUV with dimensions of 5040/1996/1760 mm and a wheelbase of 2,950 mm.
The all-electric variant of the Atto 8 is likely to enter the market alongside the PHEV version. The Atto 8 BEV offers both single and dual-motor configurations. Its RWD variant has a 580 kW (777 hp) electric motor. The 4WD Atto 8 EV has up to 810 kW (1,086 hp). Its zero-to-hundred acceleration is 3.9 seconds. It has a 100.5 kWh LFP battery for 560 – 670 km of range.
