[@hanmeng4833]

A fair and balanced review. Thanks. I bought an ATTO 3 after watching Cris’ videos. No regrets. Thanks to the good and responsible reviewers. Safety features of ATTO 3 are good. I am not a racer, but the power is there when i need it. For example when changing lane. The car serves me well overall, compared with my previous experience. There are surely some pluses and minuses, but on balance, it is good enough. I didn’t change its batman tyres. Intend to use them till they are worn out. They are ok. So i am protecting the earth. (I owned two Toyotas and two Zafira before, bought brand new. They were great in those days.) Now it is the time for EV. Any brands. As for BYD, If BYD battery can power buses that ply in London and USA, they should be more than capable in running cars efficiently and safely.

BTW, it's the same price as a RAV 4, but you get an EV, way more tech and an interior quality of a mid range Lexus, not your regular cheap scratchy mounded plastic you would get in a Toyota. I tried it today and yes, it's a couple of class above your run of the mill Japanese cars.

[@SarahH0g4n]

RAV 4 Hybrid?

[@ashc3765]

I’d take the Rav it will last! the Toyota scratchy plastic is durable and easy to keep clean.

[@SarahH0g4n]

@ashc3765 absolutely unbreakable and no comparison. I have a hilux Ute. Wanting to get Rav4 for missus and kids as an upgrade from CRV.

[@passby8070]

@@ashc3765 trust me I had a couple of Toyota in the past, a Honda and now drive a Merc, Toyota interiors are the worst, that cheap scratchy pastic became brital under the sun and age, after a while, it starts flake off, Honda was way better with their plastics, Had a Merc for 11 years, its got quality soft touch everywhere, none of that material degradation issues that My Toyotas had.

[@usmanzubair3479]

But it's Chinese, so won't last long.

[@marlons488]

Such a good car, worried at the start because it's a Chinese car but this defeats all expectations.I read about the history of BYD to comfort me and their history is so interesting, they were years ahead of Tesla etc in making batteries in general, I can see how they got got so big, lots of planning and growth. Interior so nice, so many functions, battery obviously works well, it has great warranty and service centres, no complaints after a year

[@nemesio888]

The seats in this Atto 3 are the softest and most comfy seats ever😊

[@jaredneaves7007]

I like mine, best car I've ever owned

[@remakeit2628]

I regularly cart 2 grandchildren and they love to play the door strings when they get a chance. However the child safety seats are quite high and once underway the novelty disappears. Also need to carry a wheelie walker for my wife in the boot (the walker - not the wife in the boot), and it not only fits perfectly, it offers 3 nooks around it to store groceries without tipping over. Finally, after a year of driving I have averaged 15kWh per 100km which is almost a 50/50 blend of motorway and suburban driving, and overnight charge via AGL at 8cents/kWh.

[@reindeerbeats6312]

Thanks for your video, I've been driving now my new Atto for 2 weeks in icy roads in Finland. The best car I have had and my previous bmw418d pales in comparison. Today I drove 170km in -2C and had 43% of battery left. That's decent since I had air condition on all the time and spotify blasting these excellent speakers.

[@mickjoebills]

DC charging maxes at 89kwh. V2L cable is included. Motorized sun blind. Your view on the tyres is shared...Those who have changed tyres report a huge improvement in braking handling and ride comfort. (BYD fit wider and stiffer tyres to the Atto in Europe)

[@lukeecle117]

Try BYD Seal, just obtained Euro NCAP crash test's 5-star score

[@elthamtreehugger5320]

Biggest issue with BYD in Australia is the poor warranty offered by the local reseller. BYD should just do this themselves and do away with the middleman that wants to profit at every opportunity from sales to support

[@raymondmumford6255]

Another awesome review guys ❤ In the last week I have test drove both the BYD Atto3 and the MG4, the BYD is comfortable but handling is questionable, torque steer is very obvious, and it leans going around corners, she’s a boat 😂 in general it’s a nice car. Alternatively the MG4, omg its good, one pedal driving is excellent, handling is excellent, it’s nippy, comfortable, super sleek inside, and very modern outside, loved it, and it comes with excellent tires.

[@milkoowen6800]

Well, one is an suv and another one is a little hatch

[@remakeit2628]

Very much horses for courses. Atto 3 superior in build, features and overall quality, but not handling. Also accommodates 5 adults more comfortably and much easier to load/unload from taigate. Never drove the MG long enough to see how comfort was for long trips However I can say it would be hard to beat the Atto3.

[@Clove_Parma]

@@remakeit2628will be interesting to see what the Seal is like in handling. It’s the same price as the Essence 64kw but seems like a better overall package

[@foxtrot762]

Sounds like any other SUV when u drive it like a hatch 😂

[@UTube-gs1yf]

Probably all true, but they are very different types of car - The MG is very plain inside, boring IMO. I think if you're single and younger the MG4 is more fun, but if you have kids, and don't want to crawl to get in and out of your car then the Atto 3 is sound. After a year, new tires are going to really improve the performance of the Atto 3 too from what I hear. Would be really nice if they did an OTAU to improve the regen to closer to 1 pedal - not sure if that's likely.

[@Shloeb]

The extended range Atto 3 only gets 420km in real suburban driving. You are quoting the figure from the website.

[@sbomorse]

I would have considered the Atto 3 until I found out in the UK they don't get lumbar adjustment (or auto wipers for some reason)

[@renbangbprd7236]

Did they still use electro galvanizing for their car? because that method not as good as hot dip galvanizing in terms of rust protection

[@Whyunounderstand]

Not buying an EV for at least another decade maybe around 2030-2035.....until they can improve charging times, provide safer batteries etc not in a rush at all. Diesel has 800kms range on the freeway, plenty of torque and is a reliable workhorse. Not rushing to buy EV tech that is subpar.

The advice is NOT to buy any EV. The danger around the current battery technology is just too high and the costs around them excessive.

[@Peter-vn8ue]

Go and educate yourself, mate. BYD uses LFP batteries and are the safest in the market.

[@trojanhman8136]

​@@Peter-vn8ue Thanks, I just did. They are safer but have less energy density. They also have another technology called Blade; which indicates that LFP isn't a solution. Will Blade be? If they can overcome thermal runaway and increase range, that is a link in the chain of issues, resolved. There is a steady line of issue that make EVs a failed concept. If you wish to buy, go ahead but the expenses will surprise you. At the end of the day, the government will not accept a financial loss from the implementation of EVs. They will increase all costs, charges and taxes.

[@remakeit2628]

@@trojanhman8136 BYD's LFP blade batteries don't succumb to thermal runaway from accidents. However, when overheated from other energy sources, such as an overwhelming fire (as in being in the garage of a house fire) thermal runaway MAY occur if the battery has a high state of charge. Your claim of EVs being a failed concept is total BS, as proven by nearly every car and truck manufacturer committing to EV technology. Furthermore your claim about EV expenses is even more foolish. It cost me more to insure my 10 year old ICEv than my year old EV which is twice the value. And on charging and servicing costs in 13 months my total is under AUD$200 (actually less than I spend on coffees in 3 months). Not sure how ignorant you want to be, but keeping pulling nonsense out of your rear end so I can shove it back down your throat.

[@juniperDave]

@@trojanhman8136 you have a credibility issue - the lithium iron phosphate battery is a ‘blade battery’.

@@juniperDave Credibility is not something I lack. I have an extensive history going back to almost the start of the year, warning about the dangers of batteries and the EV concept; which cannot be sustained in this country. You want to criticise me because I am trying to help people? Just remember that what you understand about the safety this new technology offers, is entirely based on advertising of the company who is trying to sell it. if we have learnt anything, it is surely not to believe what global companies say about their own products.
