Meet the BYD Atto 3!
You might not have heard of BYD before, but we can assure you it’s highly likely you’ve come into contact with one of its products before! It started out producing batteries, and it’s now moved into the business of building its own cars! But are they any good?
Well starting with the design, we’re getting some serious Cupra Born vibes from the back. Elsewhere though, the exterior looks are relatively generic. That’s not to say it’s a bad-looking car - it just doesn’t do much to stand out from the crowd. It’s also available in a choice of 5 colours, and there are three different trim levels available.
However, things become a bit more interesting on the inside! The design is apparently inspired by a gym, although we’re having trouble connecting that with what we can see. One thing we can’t miss on the inside, however, is the huge 15” infotainment screen that dominates the dash! It’s super clear and pretty responsive, with all infotainment features controlled via its touchscreen. The practicality is pretty good, too, with large storage areas in the centre console.
There’s just one battery and motor combination available with the Atto 3 - a single 201hp motor mounted to the front axle, coupled with a 60kWh battery pack. This comes with a claimed range of 260 miles.
The question is, can it really warrant the £36,000 starting price, especially when there are so many all-electric SUVs to choose from already?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

@@andreisabogal6953 Atto 3 isn't cheap in Israel either, but it is still the number 1 selling car because other EVs like Tesla are EVEN MORE expensive in the same market. If EV alternatives cost much more than 50k USD in South America, then the Atto 3 will still be able to sell well despite that price. But yes it is probably frustrating to see the exact same car being sold for like 24k inside China, and then almost doubles in price by the time it makes it across the world to Latin America. BYD is looking to gain market share in Latin America though, so maybe price cuts will be coming down the pipeline soon.

I own one here in Israel. It's way more competitively priced here compared to the competition (all cars are very expensive here) and given how loaded it is, it's outselling the competition by a big margin. Regardless of price - I absolutely love it. I get how it may fail in some motoring jurnalist stuff, this is not a race car by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't need it to be. I drive the kids about and some weekend getaway cruising, and it's brilliant for that. You can change the annoying pedestrian warning sound to a less annoying one, and if you don't thrash it around as much as a test car gets, the efficiency is actually way better than what you've worked out. It's no luxury ev, but it's awesome and though I may have a couple of minor complaints (honestly, there is actual room for a frunk, what gives?), I couldn't be happier with it.

@TsLeng Год назад

UK pricing seems odd. In Australia, the Atto 3 is priced about the same as the MG4, and a good $10,000 (£5500) below the Niro EV or Born. If British pricing for this mirrored the Australian positioning, it'd be under £30000. Mat, I'd love to know how your opinion of the car would have changed if it were priced like that. There were a couple of points where you said it wasn't good enough for the money - would it have been good enough at that lower price? I'm also intrigued as to why BYD had taken such wildly different approaches in the Australian and British markets.

I agree. I had a short test drive in this car in the UK earlier this week & felt it was very well specified - even the entry model has pano roof. Also LFP battery & a heat pump which Matt omitted to mention. And, shock horror, it even has a rear wiper which seems to be missing on so many new cars. The low speed drive was fine but I didn't get the opportunity to drive it at more than 50mph. Had the UK price been the same / similar as in Oz & NZ then I might have been a buyer. As it is I will be looking for a used EV later this year.

@marnuscoreyempanadaslooseb6760 Год назад

I test-drove one when they came out last year here in Australia. It's quite an impressive small SUV. It drove like a raised Hyundai i30. Speaking of Hyundai and the i30, the styling reminds me of the older i30s. Reasonably nice-looking but generic and lacking character. The interior is overdone and a bit gimmicky as well. The technology is there but is engineered cheaply compared to Tesla, legacy brands and other Chinese automakers. Is it for me? No. I'd pay the extra 10k it costs in Australia to get into a base Model 3, but for the average person in Australia and most countries, this is all the car they need. They're already selling like hotcakes here in the land Down Under, and I'm sure they will in the rest of the world. Well done, BYD.

@purwantiallan5089 Год назад

@waynehobbs5175 Год назад

The base Tesla doesn't have V2L, an opening sunroof, an opening blind for the sunroof, a hatchback so the Tesla Y is another $13k and still doesn't have the aforementioned.

They actually look good, their interior are albeit weird seemed to be sturdy and well built, they have decent tech, all electrified with long range autonomy. Apart from the obvious concerns of future reliability (we will see in 5-10 years), data privacy (khm) and certain oddities like the occassional weird lady shouting instructions and random information from the dashbord in a very stereotypical chinese accent, the future looks promising for these cars (MGs are now selling better than Hondas in continental Europe). And it comes from a country where 15 years ago riding a donkey was still the second most popular mode of transport...y'know when Škoda's were affordable and Korean cars were built by paper and recycled plastic waste - how times have changed.

The Atto 3 is without a doubt the most popular electric car here in Malaysia - it was launched in December and already 1,000 units have been delivered - which is quite a feat because the electric infrastructure here is not as well developed as in the UK.

@stevenjones916 Год назад

The UK's charging infrastructure is terrible in most parts of the UK.

@Shhamat221Latif 10 месяцев назад

Electric infrastructure in Peninsular Malaysia is world class... better than many European countries. And energy prices are also superb cheap. The only lack at the moment is the lack of a charging station for EV. Why Elon Musk choice Malaysia and ignore India and Indonesia that woe Elon because Elon impresses with Energy infrastructure available in Malaysia and how easy he can build thousands of Tesla Charging stations anywhere in Malaysia since almost area covered with higher quality of electrical cable and provide ready space for charging station anywhere Elon want to build it.

I have an MG4 EV and my friend has a BYD Atto 3. Recently we did a temporary swap and drove each other's car for 1000 Km.We agreed that both cars are excellent giving excellent value but the Atto 3 was definitely marginally better on most counts, but only if the original tyres were changed for a better quality, the same as the MG. Good tyres transformed the drive quality of the Atto 3 from good to exceptional. The heat pump would be good in cold old UK. Your comments on the Blade battery technology and warranty would be interesting.

@Andrew-gg9sz Год назад

@@tren133 So the problem is why the model y in the UK price is so much overpriced even after price reduction a few months ago? If the model Y long range of price in the UK is around 44k That will be normal and acceptable. In China, model y is for people of the middle class. It is not a luxury car anymore. But in the UK it looks like a luxury cat which is not.

@GHOOGLEMALE Год назад

It looks like not too bad a car - very much like any of the SUV Electrics - However, at the moment the elephant in the room is residuals and dealer network. If you buy one, what will it be worth in 3 years - and if it goes wrong, who is going to fix it and what about spare parts. I'd rather go VW iD4 or 5, it may cost a little more initially (but not much on iD4) but the VW will return probably most of its cost - Who knows with the BYD??

@jakrawan.surarak Год назад

I have this car. Just want to add some details. 1. Wireless charger is useless it just helps your phone battery drain slower 😂 2. To use Apple CarPlay you have to use the USB A port, it too has very low power. Your phone will actually drain it battery. 3. All the USB C port is very high power, from what I can test, it output at least 65W. 4. Since I live in Thailand the weather is about the surface of the sun the AC is pretty weak 5. DC Charging is a bit slow normally if start under 45% it will go up to 80KW for about 10mins then drop to 53KW or go as low as 39KW if the weather is extremely hot.

@sjcarson1976 Год назад

“Plenty of other good electric cars available right now” says it all. With a starting price of £36k people have plenty of other options…VW ID3, Kia Niro EV to name two. I get that BYD is a big manufacturer, but relatively unheard of in the UK car industry, so people would be taking a risk going for the Atto3 without any benefit.
