Range rises from 470km to 620km on the rear-wheel-drive model. Prices are 4.37 million yen and 4,873,000 yen, with a 150,000 yen CEV subsidy for both.","whyItMatters":"The revision arrives as BYD's Japan passenger sales fell 32% to 1,427 units on CEV subsidy cuts, so the new platform and longer range are the product argument the company is making while it waits on the subsidy amount from April next year.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe revision is built on BYD\u0026#39;s latest e-Platform and CTB (Cell to Body) technology, in which the battery is made part of the body structure rather than sitting in a separate pack. BYD says interior space and body rigidity both improved as a result.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutput rises from 150kW to 230kW on the rear-wheel-drive model, and the all-wheel-drive version adds a 100kW front motor for 330kW system output. Quick-charging intake improves from 85kW to 110kW, and a pre-heating function warms the battery in advance. The all-wheel-drive model gets a heating and cooling box in the front-seat center console, and a 95-liter front trunk is provided.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"BYD Atto 3 EX battery grows from 58.56kWh to 74.88kWh while the 150,000 yen CEV subsidy applies to both trims.
