BYD Yuan Plus Champion Edition Officially Launched in China

BYD recently launched the Yuan Plus Champion Edition. The new vehicle is an upgraded version of the popular Yuan Plus electric SUV. For those who may be confused, the vehicle is called Yuan Plus in China. It is known as BYD Atto 3 in international markets. This means that the name of the vehicle may vary depending on your region.

The exterior of the Yuan Plus Champion Edition is largely unchanged from the standard model, but it does get two new exterior colors: Oxygen Blue and Rhythmic Purple. The vehicle also gets a new light luxury beige interior, which is available in two-tone. In terms of technology, the Yuan Plus Champion Edition gets a number of upgrades, including a new 15.6-inch central control screen, a new DiLink 4.0 (4G) intelligent network connection system, and a new 3D transparent panoramic image.

The vehicle also gets front seats with ventilation and heating, privacy glass (rear doors and rear doors), and intelligent power on and off. The Yuan Plus Champion Edition is powered by a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 310N·m. It takes 7.3 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h. In terms of battery life, the new vehicle offers two different battery capacity versions: 49.92kWh and 60.48kWh, with corresponding ranges of 430km and 510km.

The BYD Yuan Plus Champion Edition is priced starting at 135,800 yuan (about US$20,000). The vehicle is available in five versions: 430 Km Leading, 430 Km Exceeding, 510 Km Leading, 510 Km Exceeding, and 510 Km Premium. The launch of the Yuan Plus Champion Edition is a significant milestone for BYD.

The vehicle is the first in the company’s new Champion Edition series, which will be aimed at the high-end market. The Yuan Plus Champion Edition is also a strong contender in the compact electric SUV segment, and it is expected to be popular with consumers in China and other markets.

BYD, a popular Chinese automobiles manufacturer, has announced that the company will be showcasing its BYD Yuan Plus electric SUV car at the upcoming 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show on 19th November.

The BYD Yuan Plus is the first pure electric SUV based on the new BYD e-Platform 3.0 which debuted in the BYD Dolphin (BYD EA1). It is said to integrate features like intelligence, efficiency, safety, and aesthetics.

The peak parameters offered by the platform include 800-volt system voltage, 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, and a range of 600 miles (966 km). The platform packs the Blade Battery and a heat pump as standard. It can offer up to 800V charging capacity in some applications.

BYD Yuan Plus is a compact SUV with a length, width, and height of 4,455 mm, 1,875 mm, and 1,615 mm, respectively. In China, the EV will be made available in two variants — one with a range of 430 km and another with a 510 km range. Both the variants will have a single motor generating 150 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque.

As noted above, the BYD Yuan Plus will be physically unveiled at the upcoming Guangzhou Auto Show that will take place between 19th November and 28th November. It will be made available for purchase in Q1 2022 (January-March 2022) with prices ranging between CNY 130,000 and 160,000 which is roughly between $20,349 and $25,045.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Nexport will be selling the BYD Yuan Plus in Australia from October this year. However, the rollout has been delayed “by a couple of months” because of production and shipping setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
