Thanks mate!

I drive my 2022 Atto 3 in Eco mode, which has no issues keeping up with traffic and overtaking, and my energy consumption is 14.1kW per 100km. The first thing I did after taking delivery was upgrading the tyres to Continental Ecocontact tyres, which vastly improved handling and braking in all weather conditions.

Good on you for putting better tyres on!

Great review. I've been driving the Atto3 for 18 months and love it. I would like to see some one make a "blind test" video on tires, because I think most people wouldn't notice a difference with everyday driving. Not sure if it's my imagination but the Batman's seem to be improving with age.

Byd shark should be on list if don’t need the 7 seats, but like the versatility of a Ute

I have had my 2023 model extended range for 6 months now, absolutely love it, I did tons of research before buying, with special attention to the long term viability of the brand, and as they control and produce pretty much the entirety of their supply chain, so I guess I’m buying into something that will be here in years to come, which is more then I could say about many other EV manufacturers. The Eagers group is pretty anal about you touching anything with the electrical system, I had asked them at time of purchase weather I could get an auto electrician to wire in a 12 volt socket in the back cargo area, they were pretty straightforward with there answer of “No”, Tonnes of accessories online, I’ve got the roof racks, step sides, seat covers, storage trays in all sorts of locations ! Attention BYD, this is an amazing little car, but how about a 12 volt socket in the back ? Some fog lights ? A frunk that is officially supported by BYD, a bigger and better system for the instrument cluster, perhaps with an adjustable mechanism to slide it back further for those of us that are just requiring reading glasses. 🤓 but don’t wear them when driving. More apps, I understand why you don’t want people sideloading apps, but Waze would be amazing ! Bigger and better door bottle bins, seems like there is space there for them.

An excellent review as always Matt. This is a compelling choice for someone looking for a family class EV. I have a feeling that you will be able to pick up a nice used one very cheaply making it a perfect second car for the city.

The Atto is an excellent small EV, and BYD designs excellent EV’s. Black wouldn’t be my choice, the interior is certainly quirky, but it looks okay to me. A pity there’s no frunk, but build quality looks good. The closable sunroof is excellent! Better tyres are a real move forward. Drivability is good. A great review as always. Thanks!

Matt good review. One point you mention the regen is ‘limited’. No it doesn’t have one pedal driving but the system uses about the top one third of brake application as regen before the friction brakes engage. This is the same philosophy that Porsche uses and they’ve produced lots of info as to why they believe this produces more recovery than the one pedal system. I find it fine although lots of folk are really after one pedal…… more a preference than a true ‘better’ regen system

Hi Matt, I have an Atto 3. The Batman tyres are quite ok but I want to drive the new tyre spec as they are wider, however, they have a slightly lower profile so I am interested in the change to ride quality. Great review, thanks.

MG4 could be the choice if they make it look more like SUV.

i would go for the byd Sea lion plug in hybrid, you can use it as fully electric around the suburbs. Or petrol charging the battery for interstate driving.

can't wait for the BYD sealion 7. Now that will be a game changer. We have an MG4. It is great apart from the space inside. I mean it is a hatch. Biggest thing with BYD. Why are they not introducing One Pedal Driving? I love it in the MG. Same BYD models in China do have it.

When is the updated VW T cross facelift review coming as I have heard that the VW T cross facelift is coming to Australia in Mid July insetad of September.

If I was forced to buy an EV, it would be the MG4 as I like RWD. The biggest things manufacturers need to do for Australian models is get rid of those rediculasly huge sun roofs and install at least a space saver spare wheel. 😊

@@andrewd7586 I think $300 just to "check" over the car is a bit of a rip-off IMHO. Fair enough if that price included parts but it doesn't, it's just labour. At least Tesla have the right mind when it comes to servicing (as required). I think EV manufacturers are just wanting to recoup some of the initial costs with charging for servicing every 12 months - they think because ICE vehicles require it, so do EVs. But in reality they don't require as much. I'd be happy to pay $120 or something like that per service every 12 months to have the vehicle checked over.

@Peter-vn8ue

2 күн бұрын

Every vehicle needs servicing at some point or would you rather wait until the warranty has expired and have costly repairs that you could have been fixed under warranty, if you did a service before the warranty period expired on your Tesla. They call it preventative maintenance for a reason. I don't know if the 2024 servicing schedule is more expensive now for the Atto 3, but for my 2022 Atto 3 and driving no more than 12,000km per year, my first 12,000km was free and the next 4 x 12 month services are capped at $189 per service.
