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 $44,499 for the Atto 3 Superior and ranges through to $47,499 for the range-topping Atto 3 Extended Range.

BYD Atto 3 Interior

The BYD Atto 3 remains classified as a ‘Medium SUV’ but blurs the line between mid-size and small in terms of dimensions, especially inside. It’s not in the same size game as the Toyota RAV4 or Mitsubishi Outlander, but is close in size to the likes of the Honda ZR-V and Mazda CX-5.

While there’s a few key practical storage spaces, there aren’t as many as some newer rivals, which does suggest the Atto 3 design is starting to date or just wasn’t well thought-out enough in the first place; such as putting all the switchgear in the centre console rather than on the dashboard.
