The BYD Atto 8<\/a>, known domestically as the BYD Tang L<\/a>, became the brand\u2019s first model with flash charging<\/a> in Europe. It made an official debut at the Paris Auto Show 2026 with seven seats, a peak power of 764 hp, and a 136-liter frunk with a double-tap opening function. BYD executive vice president Stella Li presented the car.<\/p>\n

The BYD Atto 8 boasts the second-generation LFP Blade Battery from BYD. It offers a capacity of 115 kWh, suitable for 653 km of range under WLTP conditions. The biggest highlight of this pack is the flash charging function. It allows charging from 10% to 97% in nine minutes. The charging time from 19% to 70% is five minutes. The charging time increases by 3 minutes at minus 30 degrees Celsius. BYD plans to establish 6,000 flash chargers in foreign countries by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

According to BYD officials, the Atto 8 is the most powerful 7-seat SUV in Europe. It offers a combined peak power output of 570 kW (764 hp, 775 ps). As a result, this model accelerates to 100 km\/h in 4.6 seconds. The top speed reaches 240 km\/h. The Atto 8 might be the most powerful seven-seater, but not the fastest. For example, the Audi SQ7 speeds up to 100 km\/h in 4.1 seconds.<\/p>\n

The BYD Atto 8 is a large crossover with dimensions of 5040\/1996\/1760 mm and a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. Despite being available with five seats only domestically, this EV will offer three rows of seats in Europe with a 2+3+2 layout. The BYD Atto 8 has a 136-liter frunk that could be opened by double-tap. Another highlight is a projection-activated power tailgate.<\/p>\n
