BYD will begin UK sales of its electric Atto 3 model in the coming weeks, following the appointment of five dealer partners.
The Volkswagen ID 3 and MG4-rivalling compact SUV is powered by a 60kWh battery, giving a range of up to 261 miles. It uses a 204PS electric motor to power the front wheels and has a claimed 0-62mph acceleration time of 7.3 seconds.
Pricing and specification details are yet to be revealed, but the Atto 3 has been awarded a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
The first appointed UK dealer partners will start receiving cars, with sales commencing in the coming weeks.
Pendragon was the first UK dealer to partner with BYD, announcing the tie-up in September last year.
