BYD Atto 3

The Yuan Plus was initially launched in February 2022 and currently has a starting price range of RMB 115,800 ($16,110) to RMB 145,800 in China.

BYD has delivered its 1,000th Atto 3 in South Korea, just one and a half months after deliveries of the model began on April 14.

BYD will start delivering the Atto 3 in South Korea in February and plans to launch the Seal electric sedan and Sealion 7 electric SUV in the country in the second half of this year.

The updated Yuan Plus has a starting price of RMB 119,800, or about $16,650. The model is available in several overseas markets under the Atto 3 name.

BYD entered into a partnership with Rwandan distributor CFAO Mobility in 2023, and the local launch of the Atto 3 marks its official entry into the East African market.

The Atto 3 -- BYD's first global model -- continues to sell well in regions including Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, and Brazil, the company previously said.

In addition to the Atto 3, Dolphin and Seal, BYD said it will launch a number of competitive NEV models in global markets.

BYD has entered 19 European countries since announcing its entry into the European passenger car market at the Paris auto show in 2022.

Indian officials raised security concerns about Chinese investment in India during deliberations, according to a report in the local Economic Times.

The Dolphin is BYD's fifth model to be launched in Brazil, and the Atto 3 is its first model to be offered in South Africa.
