2024 BYD ATTO 3 REVIEW: SHOCK OF THE DECADE? AUSTRALIA'S NO.2 BEST SELLER...

EV Channels Review

The BYD Atto 3 Extended Range is presented as a compelling budget EV, particularly for families, despite facing stiff competition from rivals like the MG4. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly comfortable ride quality, spacious interior with a unique and engaging design, and a substantial panoramic sunroof as key strengths. The extended range variant offers a claimed 480 km, though real-world figures are not explicitly detailed, the reviewer notes a displayed range of 288 km in adverse conditions. Positives include the impressive sound system and supportive seats. However, criticisms are leveled at the slow 80 kW DC charging speed, which results in a 40-minute 0-80% charge, and the average performance of the stock Atlas tires, especially in wet conditions, leading to a 0-100 km/h time of 18.55 seconds. While the interior's "wacky and wild" design is a personal preference, it's noted as a potential differentiator. Ultimately, the Atto 3 is deemed a winner for its comfort and practicality at its price point, making it a strong contender, especially for those prioritizing family-friendly features over outright handling prowess compared to the MG4.
