BYD Yuan Plus Transforms Under the Skin with 308 HP, RWD, & 800V Architecture - CleanTechnica

The refreshed BYD Yuan Plus (also known as Atto 3) has appeared in recent Chinese regulatory filings, revealing mostly minor exterior updates but significant underlying changes. Notably, BYD seems to have shifted the Yuan Plus from front-wheel drive (FWD) to rear-wheel drive (RWD), indicated by the repositioned charge port and the use of a more powerful 308 hp TZ200XYC permanent magnet synchronous motor previously reserved for RWD models like the Song L. This motor upgrade represents a substantial power increase of 107 hp over the current model. The RWD layout likely adds a front trunk ("frunk") and aligns with BYD’s integrated SiC power electronics design, which combines the onboard charger with the primary drive motor. Interior updates seen in the Chinese market include more mature styling, a heads-up display (HUD), a refrigerator, and relocating the shifter from the center console to the steering column, a trend spreading across BYD’s lineup.
