    Nice review. Own the BYD Atto3 since Aug 2022. 23k traveled average 13.5 kw-h per 100km over that entire distance, mixture of city and county driving. City driving only around 480km, country 360-390km usually with four people and a hairy dog, NZ roads. Can charge to 100% with the LFP blade battery without worrying about degradation. Really happy with this car and quality. No issues apart from annoying safety warning system that can be turned off everytime. Ps no rattles or annoying noises so far. Highly recommend.

    Had an Atto 3 for about 12 months now and found it to be a great car especially around the city. My wife drives it the majority of the time as I have a dual cab and find that we drive the Atto most of the time on weekends with the occasional drive down the Bruce to Brisbane from the Fraser Coast and it's great on the highway and would make the distance easily but we usually charge along the way anyway. Yes it has the odd quirks and features (Sorry Doug...) but overall we are loving it.

    Sorry, the front of the BYD is symmetrical and smart with headlights that look real. That Kona charge port ruins the otherwise okay look.
    4 star vs 5 star (competition over, inexcusable Hyundai).
    You can buy a really well packaged aftermarket space saver for $900 to suit Atto with jack etc included. You remove the lower floor and it fits straight in. The boots are then equal for that spend. $1k on a set of Continental 235/50 tyres and you are still $1k cheaper than the cheapest Kona.
    Add a frunk ($10 Bunnings) basket.
    You didn't mention voice activation on BYD. Does Kona have it even?
    Yes, driver display is a win for 4☆Kona.

  • @peeble99
    @peeble99 3 месяца назад +35

    The LFP chemistry of the BYD is much LESS energy dense than the the NMC chemistry of the Kona. This means that the battery is bigger and heavier than the equivalent capacity. However, it is much safer being less prone to thermal runaway. Wouldn't have a car without it.

    • @yudogcome5901
      @yudogcome5901 3 месяца назад +11

      He is talking about the entire battery pack, and you are talking about the battery cells. Because LiFe has better high-temperature safety and BYD’s innovative structure, BYD’s LiFe battery pack of the same size is actually better than Hyundai’s LG lithium-ion battery. Pack energy density is higher. LG is a soft pack battery, and the battery pack requires a high-strength battery pack casing.

    Kona looks cool at the front, and lousy at the back IMO. Those rear lights are frumpy - and ugly.
    On the interior it's no contest, the BYD is much cooler.
    The LFP battery on the BYD is handy, but the charging is slow if you charge publicly compared to others. The regen on the BYD leads to longer range in the city than the WLTP, but shorter on the highway where there is less braking.

      Indian companies are able to make well build cars with premium looking interior but Toyota is selling Fortuner with a high price. Fortuner is good looking on the outside. But the Indian companies beat the Toyotas in terms of features and design. But people buy the Toyotas with that hefty price. When people ask why owners reply it will last long (which is true). And when it's Toyotas hybrid a big car like that will only drink the fuel like a small car.

However, the current issue in the electric vehicle market is that the price is high compared to the insufficient infrastructure, so LFP appears attractive because the low-priced market is the trend. However, as time goes by, as the production cost of electric vehicles decreases and expensive brands become EVs, LFP will disappear from luxury brands.

    One got a full 5 star crash rating the other only just by one point got a 4 star safety rating, of more of a 3 star than a 4 star.

      At least the Hyundai's airbags are guaranteed to deploy in a serious accident.

      @DukeLM I don't need to test it Wumao, I just need to observe actual incidents that have happened in China where BYD vehicles involved in serious accidents with other cars have had instances where airbags have failed to deploy.

    After decades as the world's factory, China has mastered the entire industrial chain from low-end raw material processing to high-end precision manufacturing. With resources, skilled workers and advanced technology, it is hard to imagine that they will not succeed. They can easily cut the price down.
