BYD has revealed the next-generation Atto 1 in China, where the car is sold as the Seagull. Government filings show it will be larger than the current model, with a longer wheelbase and room for five occupants instead of four. The new version also changes from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive and adopts multi-link rear suspension.
