BYD Atto3 12 month review

Happy New Year!

Thank you Happy new yr=ear to you too

Our Atto 3 (in Thailand) also has reached 12 months and 30,000 km so far. I very like the space and performance, but less the too soft suspension and the whitish interior. My daily driver is a BYD Dolphin (16 months, 40,000 km). BYD improves the infotainment system constantly and now it is quite good. We got a firmware update and now with Gbox we can install a lot of Android apps. I am not so happy with ADAS which can be very annoying and I and to deactivate some of the features. Also the headlights are not so good - compared to our former Mazda CX-5. The Chinese tires are quite good. BYD Thailand now has changed to Continental tires.

yes i agree with the ADAS System needs massive inprovements

I've had mine for 10 months now & constantly confused by how different my infotainment is. I've just had the latest upgrade. for instance. I see you can turn the heated seats on from your home screen. I cant do that & need to go into the aircon screen & select from there. I cant get Android auto, Why?

We need to get away from the idea you have to charge at home / office. We have never had petrol stations at home but manage okay although 300 miles minimum per charge would be the least you could probably get away with, ideally 400 to 500 miles and you would be alright without home charging. The biggest problem we find with on-route chargers is the rip off prices, only Tesla seem to be near the mark with 39 pence a unit. I would like to see a kilowatt at around the 21 pence per unit, that's still 3 times the unit cost to the suppliers so more realistic. Snag is the private businesses who own our national grid set the price of electricity against the price of gas which as we all know is astronomically high, we need to decouple electricity from gas but that's not going to happen in the near future, not when there are huge, obscene profits to be made.

Wait till you try to sell it.

Dude! Its just lower price ... because it was bought cheaper . If Toyota is your favourite its on the otherside of the token mate ! Soon demand for ice is low and existing models will hit low price ...except some diesel model.... We must wake up to the new tech ...range is still an issue but new hybrid is almost as efficent to run ....

[@stevenbarrett7648]

Why would he sell it, does the job just run it into the ground

[@HLC64]

@@stevenbarrett7648 Exactly!

[@iandavidson4363]

why would anyone buy an EV? The yearly hire charge is less than depreciation. Lease hire is a no-brainer.
