Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:The BYD Atto 3 is a fully electric small SUV. It has two range options: a standard range with 345 km, and an extended range with 420 km on a full charge. These ranges can vary depending on how the car is driven.
The standard range is listed for $44,381 and the extended for $47,381. The Standard & Extended range versions come with the same standard features. Both cars have a permanent magnet synchronous motor with FWD 150kW/310Nm.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and taillights, roof rails, proximity unlocking, and an automatic tailgate. It also has a 12.3-inch rotating screen, push-button start, wireless phone charging, air conditioning, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver seat, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof. It lacks a sat nav. It also lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but they are coming soon. The ranges can vary. Charging at home can take an entire day, while public fast charging can take about 2 hours from 0 to 100 percent.
The Atto 3 is covered by a six-year/150,000 km warranty. The battery has an eight-year/160,000 km warranty. The average annual service cost over five years is $347. Servicing is done at select mycar Tyre & Auto centres.
The exterior is restrained. The interior is more avant-garde, including the “guitar-like” door pockets, with springs that can be played, or other design touches. Also, there is plenty of legroom for a smaller SUV.
A downside is the small rear window, but it does provide good visibility overall. If it is rainy and traction control is disabled, the tires can break traction quickly. In driving mode, the traction control works well.
Overall, it is fun to drive, easy to handle, spacious, and comfortable.
The car has a crash test rating and provides decent performance, and scored a rating of 7.5 out of 10.
