2025 BYD Atto 3: What’s new?

Refreshed exterior

The new Atto 3 boasts a sportier and more dynamic appearance thanks to several design enhancements, including 

• Sportier bumper and a larger trapezoidal air intake
• New slimmer side intakes for improved aerodynamics
• A new roof spoiler mated with dual brake lights for a sharper, more aggressive appeal
• Full-width LED tail lights featuring a distinctive “Chinese knot” wave pattern
• Dynamic turn signals adding a premium touch 
• New alloy wheel designs (17-inch and 18-inch options) 
• Partially blackened D-pillars giving a floating roof effect

Upgraded ADAS with ‘God’s Eye C’ system

One of the most significant changes that we can find on the 2025 Atto 3 is the new ADAS pack, called “God’s Eye.” The Chinese EV giant recently introduced this new DiPilot pack of advanced driver-assistance features. It is based on the company’s Xuanji AI architecture, which integrates DeepSeek AI, 5G, satellite networks, and multiple data chains, offering enhanced AI-assisted driving. Set to be deployed in all new BYD models for free, it comes in three tiers - 

• God’s Eye A (For the group’s luxury brand Yangwang)
• God’s Eye B (For Denza & BYD flagship models)
• God’s Eye A (For BYD)

The facelifted BYD Atto 3 gets the “God’s Eye C” technology comprising an array of 29 sensors. It includes - 

• 3-camera module under the windshield
• 4 surround-view cameras for a 360-degree perspective
• 5 long-range cameras to detect obstacles at a distance
• 5 mm-wave radars for accurate object detection
• 12 ultrasonic radars for close-range monitoring

With this upgraded tech, the EV now supports 6 intelligent parking modes and 10 high-speed navigation scenarios, which makes it one of the most advanced EVs in its class.

Slightly revised cabin

The cabin also received a few nips and tucks, including a floating rotatable screen and a small LCD instrument cluster. New for 2025 is a D-shaped steering wheel with a gear shifter and a revised centre tunnel with a wireless charging pad, physical buttons, and cup holders. 

No information is yet available on the 2025 BYD Atto 3's drivetrain upgrades; however, they are expected to remain unchanged. The Chinese-spec model is powered by a front-mounted electric motor generating a maximum power of 201 hp. Two available LFP battery options are 49.9 kWh and 60.5 kWh, offering CLTC-claimed ranges of 430 km and 510 km, respectively.

Closer to home, the pre-facelift Atto 3 comes in the sole Extended variant powered by the same 201-hp motor and a 49.92 kWh battery unit, which provides a driving range of up to 410 km. The price tag reads RM 149,800.
