Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video review:The BYD Atto 3 is a bit of a hard pill to swallow, especially for the average Filipino consumer, considering the prices of EVs.
It can be had for under two million pesos, making it a potentially more affordable option.
Being conventional can be a good or bad thing; good if you're trying to blend in, but not if you want to stand out.
The DRL stretches the entire width of the automobile and looks a lot like the Hyundai Stargazer, but with a bit more curve.
The 18-inch alloy wheels appear normal because there is no plate attached to it.
The charging port is located up front instead of at the rear.
If charging at home using type 2 AC, it would take about 9.5 - 10 hours for a 0-100% charge.
30-80% can be achieved in about 29 minutes with a fast charger gasoline station type of charging.
The battery is 60.48 kWh and weighs 420 kilograms.
The manufacturer claims the Atto 3 has a 565 km range inside the city, but 420 km combined in city and highway.
The ADAS system is smooth and easy most of the time, but can get freaked out if cars in front are a little unpredictable.
The rear of the car has sequential turn signals, but the front does not.
The interior has nautical inspiration.
Lacks Apple CarPlay compatibility.
There is good lumbar support in the seats, but there is no button for it.
The instrument cluster is very wee and a bit bigger would be preferred.
The door handles and their speaker grilles have a questionable design.
The brakes are very sensitive, but lack “oomph” in their stopping power.
The suspension is not stiff enough to carry the weight of the vehicle, and does not handle turns well.
Expectations were not met.
It is a sensible and practical electric vehicle for less than 2 million pesos.
