BYD ROAD TRIP PART 2! ATTO 3 EV FROM EXETER TO SOUTHAMPTON

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip in a BYD Atto 3 from Exeter to Southampton, England, serving as a travelogue rather than a deep dive into the vehicle's technical specifications. The reviewer highlights the car's comfortable ride and the convenience of its charging capabilities at Kempower stations. Positive aspects include the car's safety feature warning about opening doors near traffic and the surprisingly spacious interior, despite the steering wheel being on the 'wrong' side for American drivers. The reviewer also notes the car's infotainment system's rotating screen as a 'party trick.' However, the review points out several limitations. The driver assistance system (ADAS) is rated a B+, with criticisms including a "naggy" system that requires constant torque input and a speed adjustment that only increments in 5 mph steps. The reviewer also experienced noticeable torque steer when accelerating hard in sport mode, a common trait in front-wheel-drive vehicles. The lack of a frunk is also mentioned. Despite these points, the overall sentiment is that the BYD Atto 3 is a comfortable and capable car for its intended purpose, particularly for navigating the scenic but often narrow English countryside.
