2022 PRODUCTION ATTO 3 RHD BYD AUSTRALIA TEST DRIVE AND WALKAROUND

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive first drive and walkaround of the 2022 production right-hand drive BYD Atto 3 in Australia. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's strong value proposition, particularly its sub-$50,000 drive-away price for the extended range model, which offers a 420 km WLTP rating, 150 kW power, and 7.3-second 0-100 km/h acceleration. Positives include the spacious interior with a flat floor, good build quality and materials, a responsive touchscreen, and impressive camera resolution. The reviewer also notes the useful V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability and ample storage. Criticisms are minimal, with the reviewer mentioning that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not yet available but are expected in a future software update, and the navigation system also requires an update. The reviewer found the regen braking to be less aggressive than expected on standard mode but appreciated the high regen setting. Overall, the Atto 3 is presented as a highly impressive offering for the affordable EV market in Australia, handling well even in wet conditions.
