New BYD Atto 3
Exciting news for car buyers in the UK: the Atto 3 from Chinese car maker BYD is an efficient and safe electric vehicle that boasts impressive technology and a stylish, well-made interior.
Exciting news for UK car buyers! The Atto 3 from BYD, one of China's largest car makers, delivers comfort, style, and top-of-the-line technology.
Plus, it's efficient and super safe with attractive finance deals. The only challenge is getting past its clunky company name emblazoned across the back. But don't let that deter you from this EV gem, especially when BYD has been a battery and technology specialist for years with their hardware even powering 20% of smartphones worldwide.
The Atto 3 crossover, similar in size to the Nissan Qashqai, competes squarely against VW's ID.3 and ID.4, but BYD's superior interior quality and infotainment system give it an edge. The top-spec Design model boasts a slim 15.8-inch rotating touchscreen that operates via a button, voice control, or steering wheel. There are even gym-inspired shortcuts for air vents and door grab handles. Fun door pockets with guitar string sides continue this creative streak.
Happily, BYD has focused on comfort, rather than sporty handling, meaning it rides nicely over UK roads. Brakes have good modulation, and two settings of brake regeneration are on offer. The car's advanced 60.5kWh 'blade' battery and standard heat pump increase efficiency while aiding safety, earning it a five-star Euro NCAP rating.
With charging speeds that are okay, a range of 250 miles in near-freezing conditions, and impressive efficiency on the move, the Atto 3 makes for an exciting entry to the UK market.
