    This newcomer to the Australian EV scene has runs on the board globally, and is looking to take on the budget end of the spectrum. However, the BYD Atto 3 offers some impressive features and nice touches that belie the low asking price.
    Our test vehicle, the 2023 BYD Atto 3 Superior Extended Range - fitted with the larger 60kWh battery pack - is priced from $48,081 before on-road costs, which includes the $3000 premium for the larger battery and $700 for the optional Surf Blue paint.

    A few corrections. As someone commented below the front vents are actually open to the front wheels and you can see that if you have a look. I am getting close to 400km range on the highway and I have had the car for 4 weeks. The charging is listed as 80kw max but I have seen these cars charging at closer to 90kw on fast chargers that are rated at over 100kw. The tyres certainly aren't the best on the market but I don't drive like it's a race car and have found that they are perfectly adequate for "normal" driving including hard acceleration.

    I'm a owner of this car, watched about 5min of this review then decided to comment as seems very inaccurate. You said you get around 350km town driving and 280 open rd. Did you have an Elephant on the roof? We get 480km around town with alittle open rd driving. 350-380km open rd driving, that's with 4 people and a dog in the back. BYD isn't a new start-up car company as you stated they have been around since 2008 and are the 2nd biggest seller of EV vehicles only closely behind Tesla in the world.

      I own one as well and yesterday I drove to Brisbane south side from the Sunshine Coast and back. I used around 70% of the battery over approx 280km. That calculates to 400km with most of that at 100km/h and 110km/h. I know that most would not run the battery to zero but the overall range would be very close to wltp. It averaged somewhere around 15kw/h per 100km. It performed really well.

    I have had my Atto3 for a month now and it is a very enjoyable car to drive but it has a problem. Not so much with the car but with the after sales service. My car has two annoying problems 1. I keep getting verbal warnings to switch my headlights to low beam this happens at any time day or night, sunny or cloudy , headlights lights on or off. 2 DAB+ radio keeps disappearing from the screen menu then reappearing some days later then after a couple of days disappearing again. Whilst these things are annoying they should be an easy fix. I phoned BYD Brisbane to have to have these items fixed but was told I needed to e-mail Byd automotive. This I did and waited two weeks and I e-mailed them again but as to now no reply not even an acknowledgement.
    So if this how they treat simple faults I hate to think what they will do if something serious comes along. It seems once they have your money they simply ignore you.

      Hi Barry. I am a owner too. DAB is run by the sim they have given owners for 2 years which I was told would be changed to testra this year. The sim has poor coverage and thats why DAB drops of the screan. Can'thelp on the high beam, sounds like a sensor issue. You can change the angle of the headlights that might help. Cheers.

    Thanks for terrific review, except what you said about country and highway driving only getting to 280 km where everyone else is saying 330 to 350. All good that’s why I watch you👍🏼👍🏼 I went to look at the Polestar2, re-payments we’re$40 a week more Then BYD, however when you look at these details and get the same features, safety technology, battery performance ‘APPLES WITH APPLES’, the payments became $280 a week MORE!! So for me, I’m poo,r but with fuel prices , it is costing me a fortune to get to work & repayments are cheaper than petrol!This is my first event new car and it’s in the BYD Atto 3💙👍🏼💙 12 months ago I would never imagine saying that ,especially because I live in the country, I can drive 250 km in a day and 150 km a day 4 days a week, and I feel BYD can now handle that, unlike something like to leaf, 280km CITY DRIVING,you do t get that on country roads at 100km……… . And other brands, yes they’re really fantastic, creative, comfortable and ‘just’ cool but it looks like you have to spend 60 to $75,000k to get the same features in the BYD. Yes you miss out on 1 pedal, better safety features, better preference in safety and driving assist technology and yes better battery charging time , 15 min I stead of 45-50min. Well with a few driving style adjustments l coming from a plain 2005 petrol Subaru, I’m sure I’m goi g to be delighted driving this, AND YES IVE BEEN DRIVING 40 YEARS, DONT WANT YO DRIVE SNY MIRE, DONT CAR SBOUT, “ The feeling of the road through the steering wheel” NO NO NO JUST SIMPLE COMFORT TO BRT ME FROM A-B COMFI, EFFORTLESSLY AND SAFELY 😊😊😊😊 simple!!!
    ( gosh, I sound like my dad I’m getting old😱😱😱😱👍🏼)And I just have to learn & how to adjust my driving habits around the charging. 90% of the time should be getting home from work plugging in the car and in the morning I have full charge. I want the 7w -15w; 40km per hour portable charger, I rent and travel, to charge the car.( any suggestions, (it $200 to have the 15w power point purchased and installed) And when i go on a trip I just plan for those 40 minute lunches and breaks whilst it charges, simple. Anyway thanks again for your honesty
    travel safe👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺

    $47, 000 before on road cost is still ridiculously expensive for most families especially if you are driving in the capital cities on top of toll roads. I live in Sydney and green slips, pink slips comprehensive insurance cover, rego can cost up to 2.5k per year alone. If the Albanese wants to cut emissions by 40% by 2030, they need to do far more to help people get EVs and tax less on buying EVs and subsidize some of these running cost including allowing more Chinese imports to create more competition for EVs . Electricity prices will go through the roof from next year onwards because they want to close coal plants sooner than later.so I dont see how EVs are financially viablein the next couple of years

    @AntonHandel-bw7vv 6 месяцев назад

    Good review but I have to disagree about it's performance. I just rented one for five days and initially drove it in "Eco" mode and it was pretty underpowered and the suspension was ridiculously soft, it bounced around all over the place. I switched it to "Sport" mode and also went into settings and changed the steering to "Sport" and the Regen to "High" and what a transformation. The suspension and steering firmed up really well and it felt great over rough and badly potholed country roads and it suddenly had a decent amount of power, in fact it was pretty damned fast. In short it became quite a fun sports car, just from a couple of adjustments. It is not a Tesla, but it is not bad at all!

Indeed look at the other end of the market at the Rolls Royce Spectre.. Looking at an EV price difference, one might expect a £1m vehicle yet it is £300k. Quite cheap by RR standards and still one of the finest cars that they have ever made.

    At 14:45 the issue is incorrectly mentioning a missing top tether point to the front passenger seat. In fact the Australian Design Rules issue relate to an accessible tether point in the rear centre seat, and presently the Atto 3 fails this test.
    Nowhere in Australia is it legal to tether a child safety seat to a front seat, but as this car is shipped to nations which do allow, it has not be removed.
    On the issue of audible and steering wheel feedback "warnings", I have turned these off as I agree they are excessive. Anyone who pays attention while driving won't need to set them to work.
    My ownership experience is almost at the month long point. It's so easy to just get in and set off, and then park in tighter spaces (if you have to) due to its network of cameras and sensors. One of the things I do as a matter of course now is use the rear facing camera as my de facto rear view mirror, given the small rear window does not give particularly good coverage.
    In everyday driving conditions and in ECO or Normal modes traction has not been an issue. However, in Sports mode the tyres lack gip if you want to test 0-100kph. I haven't done any crazy cornering to test tyre squeal, but if that's anyone's thing, then I reckon you should choose NOT the Atto 3.
    Favourite feature so far is the double press of key ring to open and close the tailgate.

    It is much cheaper as well. If you are rich, get a Tesla. No doubt about it, like buying for brand not the functionality. If you are looking for a great quality and safe EV with affordable price. Buy BYD MG and KIA.
    PS why do you buy EV? Because you want to save money on fuel. Why spend much more on Tesla. They serve the same purpose. If you looking for great quality EV, get a Volvo or Polestar. They are Chinese EV as well😂.
