    BYD Atto 3

     

    One of China’s biggest electric carmakers, BYD certainly made a splash in Australia when it launched its Atto 3 in 2022.

    As one of the most affordable EVs in the country, the mid-size SUV is also the right size to appeal to buyers that might be currently sitting on the fence about the electric future.

    Two battery sizes are on offer, a 50.1kWh version that serves up 320km of driving range and a 60.4kWh grade that extends that range out to 420km.

    The line-up currently starts at $48,011 for the Atto 3 Superior and ranges through to $51,011 for the range-topping Atto 3 Superior (extended).

    BYD Atto 3 Interior

    Yes, the interior of the Atto 3 borders on surreal with its guitar string door pockets, which actually can be played like an instrument.

    There’s also the rotating media screen which can turn from a landscape to portrait position, and there’s the dashboard that’s made of a foam-like material and looks like rippled sand stretching from door-to-door in the cabin.

    I think BYD might be trying to carry-off a unique and quirky interior as you’d find in a Mini. The quality of the materials or craftsmanship doesn’t appear as impeccable as you’d find on a Mini, but let’s not forget the Atto 3 is far more affordable.
