Great review. I heard from so many BYD owners that this car is their best purchase ever. Worth every penny and exceeds their expectation. Like you said, BYD is the Toyota of the EV world.

Great! Looking forward to getting one BYD in the future!

BYD is the one of my favorite Chinese EV factory Cause their car not fancy only It’s really practical for a daily car! Please wait for the Dolphin also It’s really cool and a good car 👍🏻

I wouldn't say that BYD's cars are fancy unless you were talking about the Han or beyond its class, but practical, for sure, they aim for the middle-class or below, so practicality is the priority.

Great review, very informative. Thinking of trading in my fuel-powered SUV for this, especially since the COE is now dropping too. The only bummer for me is the interior design, don’t really fancy the guitar strings and barbell aircon vents. A bit too quirky for me. But everything else seems great especially the brake and accelerator combo which make transition easier for non-EV owners.

I was thinking the other day if BYD or Tesla come out with a CatA version, I would buy it for my next car.

Hi Daren. I was considering the IONIQ5 or i4. Although I ended one number lower with the Atto 3, I was amazed how the company could build a car with so many features at that price. The BYD’s better suspension and safer battery were top considerations in the final decision. Like that it has the 360 view camera and App as my Beemer. Btw, our car will sport the same white as your review which I enjoyed. Looking forward to your next review. Take care!
