THESE ARE THE BEST $50K EVS YOU CAN BUY! BYD ATTO 3 VS KIA EV3 VS MG S5 EV COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

This comparison review pits the BYD Atto 3 (MY25 Premium), MG S5 EV (Essence), and Kia EV3 Air Standard Range against each other, all priced around $50,000. The reviewer, Nathan Ponchard, finds all three to be surprisingly competent, a significant improvement over previous mid-size electric SUVs. The Kia EV3 stands out for its exceptional packaging, spacious interior for its size, and premium feel, making it the overall winner. The MG S5 EV impresses with its driving dynamics, inheriting the sporty rear-wheel-drive nature of the MG4, and offers a vastly improved interior over its predecessor. The BYD Atto 3, though the oldest, receives subtle but impactful MY25 updates, particularly new Continental tires, which significantly enhance its driving poise and refinement, making it the best driving BYD to date. While the BYD shows its age in charging times and interior polarizing design, and the MG's performance lags slightly behind, both are strong contenders. The Kia EV3's blend of comfort, refinement, packaging, and persuasive design ultimately clinches the victory, feeling like a premium offering.
