BYD Atto3, First Drive Impressions and Full Walkaround Review. | YS Khong Driving

With the current (pun intended) interest in BEV's (Battery Electric Cars), we thought that a detailed review would be helpful to would-be buyers of electric cars, especially those who are particularly interested in the BYD range. Even if you are interested in other EVs, watching this video would also help you know more about EVs as a whole.
We took part in an organized media drive that took us up north to Tg Malim and back - unfortunately, time did not allow us to go up our favorite mountain (and we hope to be able to do that soon), but we did get a whole lot of footage - we trimmed off quite a bit to try to get you only the essence of what we did, and we also added in a full walk-around review.
Do take your time to view the entire video, and let us know what you think of this kind of review. Of course for our 'mountaineering' friends, we will try to always have a special on mountain climbing.
Anyway, I must say a big thank you to all our supporters who help us to share our videos to their friends, and also give our videos a like, and encourage us with great comments.
Also a big thank you to Aiman Fitri and Harvard Lee who always watch our videos and give us great feedback.
Finally, I think the BYD looks great, and is priced quite competitively, and we wish BYD a great success in its sales efforts.
And Yes, if you need to book this vehicle, you can also do it through our channel; go to shop.yskhongdri... or give us a shout out through whatsapp to 0163350609.
See you all soon! Cheers!

BYD Atto 3 is BEST Selling EV in Thailand for mths of Jan n Feb '23

[@ElindaRose]

I’ve test drive the BYD Atto 3 before and really like it. It is so comfortable to drive yet so quiet. The only turndown was that there were no spare tires provided and this was also confirmed by the sales advisor. It will be a problem if the car breaks down. Other than that, it’s a perfect EV car.

I just 'discovered' you guys on KZbin. It's so refreshing that this is a review coming from a respected rally driver. Drivers like you KNOW what a car should be able to do and can explore its limits. Therefore your opinion is more valuable to me than most other car journalists. To me it appears many journalists review a car totally biased, and they make up their minds based on personal taste rather than approaching it neutral. Great job, thank you!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you for knowing the difference and for suppprting our channel. Means a lot to us. Thanks again.

[@keat-wong]

Excellent video. Very detail as well as highlighting many parts that other reviewers don't look at. Review & knowledge sharing 😊

[@YSKhongDriving]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wespress0]

Wow they sure know which roads to take you on for a test drive. The only s-curve I can get here is SBV 99 bends 😅 The smile on your face says it all!

[@brandont89]

Very nice and detailed intro, it is indeed a value for money EV

[@YSKhongDriving]

Agreed!

[@arnezhamidi9784]

Based on several reviews, I find the BYD Atto 3 to be quite appealing to me. In Sabah, owning an electric vehicle can be challenging, especially for those who frequently travel long distances across hilly and poorly maintained roads that consume battery power faster. Additionally, there is no recharge station for the battery. In contrast to the situation in Semenanjung, there are multiple patrol stations in the area that have recharge points installed.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hopefully the infra will improve soon.

[@haroldlbc]

Always enjoy uncle's video

[@leeekthai]

Nice video Uncle YS! I like that rear strip light [ala red tron]. Had the chance to see one driving besides my car last weekend and I noticed the rims looks remarkably similar to Modelista ones used on the Raize. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you for watching, and lovely feedback.

Atto 3 is a Great All Round SUV RIDE Quality n Comfort is Improved with the Longer wheel base

[@mohamadazmiabubakar9022]

I test drive BYD Atto 3 last Sunday (21 Apr 2024) during their promtional event at Bukit Jalil. I love driving the car. What hindering me from booking is ill be travelling 150km daily to and fro my new workplace lembah beringin. I will face a lot of anxiety as there are still lack of charging station along the way back n forth to my work place especially in plus highway.

[@YSKhongDriving]

150km a day is less than half the full range. Technically you can run 2 days, and should be no problem. You will need a home wall charger, and plug it in every evening, just charge to 80 percent will do.

A lot of 'tech transfer' from other established manufacturer as well

[@eddvangtc2944]

Hi uncle, Can you describe a bit more about this car's cornering and braking. Because a lot of other KZbinrs have bad reviews on both these issues. I am getting my Atto 3 end of this month, so really appreciate your honest opinion.

[@YSKhongDriving]

As you can see from the video, it corners quite well. The suspension is Macpherson struts and multilink - you cant go wrong with that. I dont know who the other youtubers are, but I drove the car, and my video is up, and you can see.

[@eddvangtc2944]

@@YSKhongDriving thank you so much uncle

[@TLH788]

Country side roads are always enjoyable and fun especially with EV ...nice drive 👍 Would like to know how much distance can go for full charge?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The rated distance for 100 percent charge is 480 km.

uncle， Tiguan also can open the car boot from inside the SUV.

Nice to drive in M'sia kampong road.

[@felixjong3000]

I like your review of the Atto3 but one thing which I was hoping to hear was how much battery was consumed from your round trip to Tanjung Malim. With a full charge, how far out of KL can I wander and come ...

[@YSKhongDriving]

The range is 480, take away 20 percent for safety, and there you are.

[@kingleoric6787]

Mr Khong, how you compare Ora good cat with BYD atto 3? Since you have drove these two cars before.

[@YSKhongDriving]

One is a SUV and one is a car. The car handles better than the SUV.. Both are okay to drive, and range is similar..So depends on which one you like.

[@Batman.3.8]

I heard somewhere that if I am driving for example 80km/h and j want to turn on adaptieve cruise control in atto 3. It will always start from 30km/h, and then I have to bring it up to 80km/h? Is it true? I am getting my Atto 3 on 22nd of March 😁

[@YSKhongDriving]

When you turn it on at 80 kmh, it will start at that speed, unless you have programmed it otherwise. Once it starts running, you can move the limit up or down.

[@Batman.3.8]

[@satthiarasanthanikasalam4673]

Hi Sir, I believe there is another area to analysis where cost of charge against cost of fuel. Its not cost benefit, user may think twice.

[@YSKhongDriving]

At the moment, home charging is about half the price of equivalent cost of fuel for the same range, roughly. Charging outside - cost varies from station to station.
