Atto 3 was first shown in August 2021 at the Chengdu Auto Show, and was officially unveiled in February 2022. The Atto 3 is based on all-electric e-Platform 3.0. The interior design was inspired by fitness culture and features an aesthetic reminiscent of exercise machines and sports equipment such as treadmills, boxing rings, dumbbells and muscle fibers.[7][8] The centre 12.8-inch (with an optional larger 15.6-inch) infotainment system is based on Android,[9] and the screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape orientations.[10]
