47k is what I paid for my 22 Atto big battery on road after 3k Queensland rebate so this is great value. Great family car good ground clearance 7 seconds to 100kmh easy 300 km highway cycle 400 city why would you keep driving something that kills your kids 🤔
I have an Atto 3 extended range purchased in 2022. Great car. Very happy with it. However, i don't care for the contentious interior design. Not a fan at all. Whilst removing the stupid BUILD YOUR DREAMS from the rear tailgate is a major improvement, along with the better quality Continental tyres - I have these tyres on mine fitted within the first week as the originals are not that great - the one thing I would have really liked to see is an upgrade to the interior. The choice of colours now is a step in the right direction but come on BYD, the guitar theme really has to go. Deeper pockets in the door would be great too. Maybe the next update will incorporate more interior changes. Meanwhile, we still enjoy our 2022 Atto 3 and are amazed every time we drive it.
You wasted money on those tires. The existing ones are fine. It's not a race car after-all. I often drive mine quite quick though and have only ever once slipped. Certainly NOTHING worth spending another thousand dollars on IMHO.
I agree with you. The interior was the main thing that detracted me from considering buying it. I’m waiting for the Seal U to arrive to my country. The interior is way better.
I just bought a $30,000 second hand Tesla model y in Europe. Nothing beats this. Really. I tried many evs over my life. Best car money can buy. Go second hand guys
@howlee4091 how so? The Tesla drives really well for it's size, it's extremely fast as well, it's interior is nice and comfortable and very spacious leader in it's class, smooth through bumpy roads, direct steering, insane Soundsystem, very useable touchscreen and all that for just $30,000. I've driven the mg zs ev, byd seal, byd atto3, Tesla model 3, x and s, the original Tesla roadster, the Nissan leaf, a bunch of hybrids, a bunch of gas cars. Tesla is king
As an Atto 3 . 2023 owner , all I wanted was an 80KW battery , that a real range of 430 KW , given the scarcity of chargers in Australia and oz being a big country that would be a big plus. I belive that MG EV has 77KW pack. If BYD ever offer a battery upgrade to existing owners I will be first in line. My two cents to anyone considering an EV , do not buy anything less than 80KW.
Only really a problem if you are doing touring in remote areas. Most don't. But if you do, then yes it's a big problem as towns often have just one charger, and if that's out you might be screwed. I did a 3000km round trip Sydney to Adelaide without too many problems, though couldn't go the most direct outback route. The bigger the roads, the less problems you have. Actually returned via Melbourne because of the better charging infrastructure along the route - faster and more charges. Time was the same due to saving time charging.
I was wishing that the update would come with the new “blade 2” battery with quicker charging speeds, seems I’ll have to keep looking possibly a Kia 3.
I looked at the new MY24 brochure available on the BYD website. I note that reference to the 'Heat Pump" is now missing. I hope they haven't deleted that to get the price down. That would be a retrograde step, dragging them back down with MG, Ora (and Kia). I intend to have a look at a new one next time I am in Melbourne to confirm.
Would have thought a charging upgrade to 120 was in store. But I guess that would entail new battery and a higher price, not less. Personally I like the old interior over that new colour, but the car does look sharp with black exterior... Brilliant car, after 8000km in mine, would thoroughly recommend. All day every day a better car than the Model Y IMHO.
My mate at work just picked up his BYD 3.8 got it home after it’s FIRST RUN and after plugging it in it BLEW CHARGING SYSTEM. 4 weeks later he got it back. New battery fitted! Good Luck with buying one….
Yeah, well my mate bought 25 of them for his business and absolutely loves them. He can't speak highly enough about them. He always used Toyota before, but he says that Toyota are so antiquated compared to the BYD range. He's saved a fortune on running costs, maintenance and lost revenue with practically zero down time. Go BYD
The BYD price outside China is not that competitive, I am from Mauritius, either BYD or the Local Dealer is milking the market . . . The price is in Mauritian Rupees -> Dolphin Standard -> Rs 1,350,000 -> USD 29,504.41 -> Dolphin Extend -> Rs 1,550,000 -> USD 33,875.44 -> ATT0 3 Stanard -> Rs 2,095,000 -> USD 45,786.48 -> ATTO3 Extend -> Rs 2,400,000 -> USD 52,452.29 -> SEAL RWD -> Rs 2,950,000 -> USD 64,472.60 -> SEAL AWD -> Rs 3,300,000 -> USD 72,121.90
I hope they will bring camping mode via software update to older model will be good not to have to use 12v battery operated fan while stuck at Marla for 7 hours waiting for car to charge at 00.6c I guess? aka 6.4 kw per hour
What’s camping mode? You can already leave your car AC on until the battery dies if you get out of the car, don’t turn it off and lock it with the app right?
@@snith probably wishful thinking on my part but "turn on ac" on app acts same as push to start in the car and while car is on even if it's plugged in wont charge at all, camping mode meant to keep car off with only ac on which is already always on for battery management so maybe you could actually use ac with it and charge at the same time.
@@sergiydunayev5076 Hmm...I still don't understand the appeal aside from keeping the screen off perhaps. You can already have your car on when you plug it in, and you can already keep your car on for as long as you need it. Still not understanding how they will implement it. Perhaps the screen will have a picture of a campfire and that will be it lol
@@snith yeah, mate I am not sure we are talking about same car for my atto 3 it definitely won't take charge when it's on, I double checked last night as car was on charge you turn ac on app and it stops process till you turn it off then it resumes again and if you ever stuck having to be around your car for 7 hours waiting for car to charge during the day in the sun you would want to have the use of your ac
It's not muscles. BYD EVs have a marine theme. The dash is supposed to look like a whale's belly! Like you, I absolutely hate it and it is the reason I didn't buy it.
I absolutely love my two year old Atto. It goes great. I particularly like the interior appearance, it delightful so much nicer than the Teutonic crap I have been putting up with for years. As for the tires, the Batman's are great. They have low rolling resistance to maximise range. Handling is fine.
@@copaloadofthis Possibly. Toyota hybrids are reliable and keep their value, but BYD Blade batteries also renowned for their longevity. I think the only thing stopping Aussies choosing to go full BEV is the lack of charging. A Rav4 hybrid is going to be zero issues on a road trip eg Sydney-Melbourne, whereas the Atto3 is going to require some planning.
I own a PHEV at the moment and we will be side grading to an EV ASAP, it only makes sense. The only reason one should be worried about paying less for an EV is... Well I actually don't know a reason. Even in Australia where our charging infrastructure is lacking compared to other places, for 99% of your driving, range anxiety is not a thing.
Is the charging speed still crappy and does it still thermal throttle after a few fast charging stops ? Does it still not have battery pre-conditioning for fast charging?
Was shopping for EV liked atto 3 lr until seen a stopping comparison (5 vehicles) video. the atto 3 stopped 2 metres longer from 80/100 kmh than e.g MG ZS EV (an older model) .. The reviewers also believed better tyres would help stopping performance of Atto 3.
At 28000 euros, it would sweep the market in Europe... But at efficiency, the previous model gets poor in the Carwow test... 3.8 Miles /kW- but in the same area with BMW and Porsche...
Berliner Zeitung reports that Germany and Chile are strengthening their cooperation in energy and resource policies, with Germany counting on lithium and copper from Chile for electromobility and electrification. The outlet notes that Chile is a part of the “lithium triangle” with Argentina and Bolivia, a region which holds 57% of global reserves crucial for energy transition. Bloomberg reports that German energy conglomerate Siemens Energy plans to produce a wind turbine with a capacity of around 21 megawatts (MW) by the end of the decade, “overpowering the biggest machines offered by Chinese competitors”. This would make it about 40% more powerful than the company’s current largest turbine, which has rotor blades 115 metres long, the outlet notes.
when Germany is progressing with 21MW wind turbine, China is producing 22MW wind turbine to be installed offshore right now. The competition is good, good for you and me and for the mankind. It is not Chinese or German are superior or smart, it is the focus they are in. China has been accused and mocked by the world for polluting the atmosphere because of their industry. Because the west are moving those dirty jobs to Asia. However, when China confronts this issue, they do it by further innovation and make it cleaner. What did the west do? oh, now we dont need to be clean, and we pull ourselves out of Paris accord..... German, in my opinion, are also practical, they have their engineering in mind. They want to beat the Japanese and Chinese in terms of their engineering skills. This is great. Competition brings innovations.
If that car interior wasn't so "vomit inducing", and if it wasn't so expensive here in Portugal, that would be a serious option for me in the near future...
I've just priced the BYD Dolphin here in Spain. OMG nearly 38000€ or $40800 USD or 61209 AUD. They can shove it up their rear end for that kind of stupid money. What happened to "The Chinese are coming with great prices". B.S !
Until they provide the right info on the average kWh consumption for more than the 50 km or so, and the solution for the overheating of the battery during charging after a long strecht at 120-130 km/hm, this car will always be a good looking lemmon.
I drove my atto 3 from Alice to Adelaide at 110km per hour and range was barely 300km , on NT side of the highway I was doing 130km for a bit and looking at my range I guesstimate it would of been at most 220km had me worried enough to slow down till I made it over the boarder to the safety of 110km speed limit, I ended up asking them how I could extend my range they told me to drive at 55km per hour....lol
@@greghudson9717 yeah mate I look it at it like this, they just built us a new charger in Alice and its 80 kw... between Alice and Adelaide there is pretty much no fast chargers capable of doing more than my car is able to take, infrastructure been set up now for long distance travel is not taking into account how fast technology is growing, they talking about cars able to take 600 kw I wonder how many decades it would be till you would see a charger like that where you need it and not in a city where it's pointless, you could have a car able to charge at 450 kw right now and still be stuck at Marla or Glendumbo where only charging available is at 7 kw max
How many actual sales ? In China BYD sells new cars to dealers pre registered - these are then sold as “ used” at a slight discount. Serpentza and others also point out that due to the CCP BYD fires remain under- reported - ( unlike TESLA which gets proper media scrutiny). As BYD exports more cars - let’s see what gets reported in western countries. Personally- I will stick with TESLA ( while more expensive - you are getting better quality).
I don't know what taxes and import charges you pay in Australia on electric cars but just to put things in perspective The atto 3 cost in China 24900 AUD And without the domestic VAT it's just 22,000 AUD So add 2 grand for shipping and the local taxation and learn how much money they are making in you
@@manimalworks7424 but that isn't the same car Although it's a Toyota Corolla like many cars in china the Chinese version isn't alike the Japanese /European/American version. A BYD is a BYD!
So... Only $500 less than when it first launched in Australia? How is this a big deal when they've just upped the price, and then cut the price again and said oh hey look! We dropped the price!
The law needs changing. With DOG MODE, a Tesla can keep the interior at a steady 20C for days, no matter what the outside temp is. There is even a HUGE message on the screen letting onlookers know what's happening inside...
@@greghudson9717 No it doesn’t you should never leave a child unattended in a car . You come back and find some low life has taken them . That’s the reason the law exists.
@@allanchapman6250 Maybe that's the law, but most of the children I've seen lately should be left in a car with the doors open, the keys in the ignition, and the engine running ;-)
@@kamsunleong6648completely wrong. Brother is manager at a panel and paint shop, BYD, Haval, MG and GWM all arriving to the dealer and straight to the shop for rust repairs and paint repairs, it’s their main source of income over insurance work. Also commented that the paint on these vehicles is very thin by comparison. Ended up cancelling our Haval order. Everyone will have a different experience for sure.
Not cheap at all, doesn't sell in Europe.... bev's from Stellantis, new R5, Grande Panda way better build way better styling and far cheaper, better infotainment and far nicer design...
$US 30.000 is still expensive for an EV. They have 1/3 of the parts. I just hope that the EV sales will grow so much that it will impact the $US 9.000.000.000.000 in oil subsidies or more than $US 1.000 every human must pay. In 2025 the forcast are $US 11.000.000.000.000. (International Monetary Fund Numbers). That's $US 38.194 for every fossil car. Instead of selling a fossil car, you can give away a Tesla model Y!!!] Oil as fuel for cars are insanity! The smog that fossil cars makes kills millions. The energy to refine the oil alone are greater than you need to drive an EV the same distance. And, you get to be a slave to a corrupt cartel with mostly dictatorships (OPEC). Those dictatorships buy missiles and suicide vests to kill you. So, you have to pay the government to buy even more weapons for defence!
No BYD in USA........................................So better off with a corolla 26k out the door after tax or an eco-friendly corolla hybrid 27.6k out the door.
Chinese EVs are having tariff war against EU and having export problem with US, so they are bringing them to our market without any stress with good price?
@@UCMpDwp7VEfKXRH3NyAW7kuj They didn't get started before the tariffs. Takes time to establish a presence especially something like an ev that no American has heard off.
True, the Atto 3 interior SUCKS, but at least it has 'some' design, unlike my Tesla Model Y which looks like it was thought up by the children of IKEA employees. And that's NOT a good look IMO
@@kallekas8551 It is Tesla's fault that the Chinese market has become so large. The fact that China started making electric cars is because Tesla laid down the infrastructure. Although there are Chinese companies, it is not the companies, but the whole of China. The 70 companies producing electric cars can be seen as the whole of China.
@@eden5260 Not sure the point you are making. Its value or not is based on how it is priced and the features and quality it offers next to its competitors. The Chinese market is clearly the most competitive in the world, the speed of innovation and advancements they are making should be frightening for other manufacturers.
Evs have less parts to break down. Unlike my gasoline car. After just a couple of months of repair, my aircon unit has again stopped working. Another big repair bill. Utter rubbish. Should have dumped it and switched to an ev.
That's with any car, machine, device, tool, etc... since they sell millions each year and Chinese consumers are notoriously selective, I reckon these will outlast your Ford, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Nissan, etc...
What the f&&k do you mean? Please enlighten me as someone who owns an Atto 3, charges at home and pays nothing to the oil and gas companies. Your comment seems utterly bizarre.

Has the battery died yet ?
Checked model 3 std Aus price - just under $AUS 55k . This is a fine and more practical alternative as a family car

The model 3 with 57kWh can go 430km no issues
Get the BYD song hybrid. 2000 km range on a 150 km charge and a 65 l tank of gas. if you are range anxious.
Stick to your atto3 until BYD introduce new DMI5.0 hybrid vehicle to OZ.

Add 2.5k and get byd seal 60kwh version instead😊

What I would really like is the used EV market to mature. $20k for a used Nissan Leaf is ott. I'll wait for 7-10k.

I drove my atto 3 from Alice to Adelaide at 110km per hour and range was barely 300km , on NT side of the highway I was doing 130km for a bit and looking at my range I guesstimate it would of been at most 220km had me worried enough to slow down till I made it over the boarder to the safety of 110km speed limit, I ended up asking them how I could extend my range they told me to drive at 55km per hour....lol
@@sergiydunayev5076 More troubling than the lack of range is the 6.5kWh AC and 86kWh DC charging maximums. When will they make charging FASTER ?
@@greghudson9717 yeah mate I look it at it like this, they just built us a new charger in Alice and its 80 kw... between Alice and Adelaide there is pretty much no fast chargers capable of doing more than my car is able to take, infrastructure been set up now for long distance travel is not taking into account how fast technology is growing, they talking about cars able to take 600 kw I wonder how many decades it would be till you would see a charger like that where you need it and not in a city where it's pointless, you could have a car able to charge at 450 kw right now and still be stuck at Marla or Glendumbo where only charging available is at 7 kw max
My long term average after 1 year and just over 47000km is 17.2 kwh per 100k. Pretty much all rural or highway driving.
How many actual sales ? In China BYD sells new cars to dealers pre registered - these are then sold as “ used” at a slight discount.
Serpentza and others also point out that due to the CCP BYD fires remain under- reported - ( unlike TESLA which gets proper media scrutiny).
As BYD exports more cars - let’s see what gets reported in western countries. Personally- I will stick with TESLA ( while more expensive - you are getting better quality).
Don't be fooled by chinese reporting. The BYD's that are burning are the HYBRID models, not the BEV's with blade batteries.
ATTo 3 doesn't look sleek, I prefer a race like look. I once had a Saturn SW2 wagon It had a sleek look
I don't know what taxes and import charges you pay in Australia on electric cars but just to put things in perspective
The atto 3 cost in China 24900 AUD
And without the domestic VAT it's just 22,000 AUD
So add 2 grand for shipping and the local taxation and learn how much money they are making in you
By the same token, Toyota Corolla sells for USD $10480, that’s AUD $15852, how much is it in Sydney?
@@manimalworks7424 but that isn't the same car
Although it's a Toyota Corolla like many cars in china the Chinese version isn't alike the Japanese /European/American version.
A BYD is a BYD!
Why would you want a black car when the road is black?
Thank you.
Because black is beautiful.
@@Michael-yi4mc Hard to see it against the road, black cars have more accidents.
@@christopherj2231 👍I drove a black car with no problems of getting into an accident.
@@Michael-yi4mc Think harder son.
For the same reason you would buy a baby blue one because you like the colour of the sky ;-)
As an SUV it needs more range. When they can do 600km+ I'll consider it.
Here is a novel idea: charge before it gets to zero.
Finally BYD removed there “build ur dreams” this bothered me cuz it makes me feel poor
Afternoon mate
So... Only $500 less than when it first launched in Australia?
How is this a big deal when they've just upped the price, and then cut the price again and said oh hey look! We dropped the price!
Sounds like standard operations at any supermarket chain...
You understand what inflation is, right?
Sam it is illegal to leave children in cars unattended in Australia 😮
The law needs changing. With DOG MODE, a Tesla can keep the interior at a steady 20C for days, no matter what the outside temp is. There is even a HUGE message on the screen letting onlookers know what's happening inside...
@@greghudson9717 No it doesn’t you should never leave a child unattended in a car . You come back and find some low life has taken them . That’s the reason the law exists.
@@allanchapman6250 Maybe that's the law, but most of the children I've seen lately should be left in a car with the doors open, the keys in the ignition, and the engine running ;-)
@@greghudson9717 Yep!
Does the BYD have “dog mode “?
Ya now it got camp mode too..
Here in Nz we had a atto3 2022 rusting byd fixed it up but after 2 years I would consider it to be poor workmanship
One off and repeated often. Overblown
So true part of the rust club
@@kamsunleong6648completely wrong. Brother is manager at a panel and paint shop, BYD, Haval, MG and GWM all arriving to the dealer and straight to the shop for rust repairs and paint repairs, it’s their main source of income over insurance work. Also commented that the paint on these vehicles is very thin by comparison. Ended up cancelling our Haval order. Everyone will have a different experience for sure.
the funny thing is these video.s make totaly no sense when you live in the west the prices here are complete diff. .
MG4 is still better value in my opinion
Not cheap at all, doesn't sell in Europe.... bev's from Stellantis, new R5, Grande Panda way better build way better styling and far cheaper, better infotainment and far nicer design...
$US 30.000 is still expensive for an EV. They have 1/3 of the parts.
I just hope that the EV sales will grow so much that it will impact the $US 9.000.000.000.000 in oil subsidies or more than $US 1.000 every human must pay.
In 2025 the forcast are $US 11.000.000.000.000.
(International Monetary Fund Numbers).
That's $US 38.194 for every fossil car.
Instead of selling a fossil car, you can give away a Tesla model Y!!!]
Oil as fuel for cars are insanity!
The smog that fossil cars makes kills millions.
The energy to refine the oil alone are greater than you need to drive an EV the same distance.
And, you get to be a slave to a corrupt cartel with mostly dictatorships (OPEC).
Those dictatorships buy missiles and suicide vests to kill you.
So, you have to pay the government to buy even more weapons for defence!
Sam, why don’t you buy a couple? Double range 😁
I've taken a little position in BYD....if Trump loses, I'm going ALL-IN like Paul Pelosi would.
That's less than $30K USD.
No BYD in USA........................................So better off with a corolla 26k out the door after tax or an eco-friendly corolla hybrid 27.6k out the door.
You are on an Australian YT channel. We have access to many chinese brands you would and will never likely see...
@@greghudson9717 Australia imports roughly 83% of the crude oil they process that is the reason for EV promotion.
It’s called win at all cost. Penetration pricing. Wake up it’s a con
Musk was onto something decades ago :) EVs are cheaper to produce!
Still too costly for this car.
Chinese EVs are having tariff war against EU and having export problem with US, so they are bringing them to our market without any stress with good price?
Really good deal In Australia,They don't sell too much before the tariffs in US anyway
Then Chinese consumers drink more Australian wines and eat more assi beef
@@mingouczjcz3800 Do they ?
@@UCMpDwp7VEfKXRH3NyAW7kuj
They didn't get started before the tariffs. Takes time to establish a presence especially something like an ev that no American has heard off.
no such thign as improvx or etc aboutx itx, say, can sayx etc infix any nmw s perfx
I still love my 2022 Tesla M3 RWD. I don't like the interior design BYD Auto 3. :-)
True, the Atto 3 interior SUCKS, but at least it has 'some' design, unlike my Tesla Model Y which looks like it was thought up by the children of IKEA employees. And that's NOT a good look IMO
Its a face lift not a new car
This is the result of Tesla disrupting the electric vehicle market.
🤣
@@kallekas8551 It is Tesla's fault that the Chinese market has become so large. The fact that China started making electric cars is because Tesla laid down the infrastructure. Although there are Chinese companies, it is not the companies, but the whole of China. The 70 companies producing electric cars can be seen as the whole of China.
@@바람-t4b That’s….great. I’m just glad I won’t have to worry about that, I’ll just keep to my Skyline.👍
@@kallekas8551 Yes, I have delivered it from Korea so far. Thank you.
45, 000 USD is way too much money for that car
He's talking about AUD not USD
About 29K in USD
Just under $30k US.
@@GDM22 For a car that is just 16k in china including VAT let's not forget
@@eden5260 Not sure the point you are making. Its value or not is based on how it is priced and the features and quality it offers next to its competitors. The Chinese market is clearly the most competitive in the world, the speed of innovation and advancements they are making should be frightening for other manufacturers.
Dont support our enemy
Great value until is breaks down and you can't get parts. Then a complete waste of hard earned money. Utter rubbish.
Evs have less parts to break down. Unlike my gasoline car. After just a couple of months of repair, my aircon unit has again stopped working. Another big repair bill. Utter rubbish. Should have dumped it and switched to an ev.
That's with any car, machine, device, tool, etc... since they sell millions each year and Chinese consumers are notoriously selective, I reckon these will outlast your Ford, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Nissan, etc...
Your beating a dead dog.
wrg
It's you're, not your and I have no idea what you mean.
I want to buy BYD's Leopard 5❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
2025/26 will be the time for EV value and charging times ??
Seems like 2024 is already a good year, but yes 25/26 will be better for sure!
Nice byd atto 3
Not cheap at all, slow selling in Europe despite massive marketing by Toyota, yes mr Viking, Toyota sells Byd's in tge Netherlands 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you ever going to tell us about your Atto 3 ownership what you liked or didn't like?
consumers want value, make something consumers want and stop complaining.
Hopefully cheaper in price and not quality.
The more they mature the better they get. They used to make crappy ice cars back in the nineties. How far they have come within 2 decades.
Could you do a video of why did you move to Thailand for your wife's cancer treatment?
There is no value in an EV car
What the f&&k do you mean? Please enlighten me as someone who owns an Atto 3, charges at home and pays nothing to the oil and gas companies. Your comment seems utterly bizarre.
