2024 BYD Atto 3 EV Review | Amazing and Affordable?

We've

review

ed quite a few EVs this year, and in turn, we use plenty of adjectives to describe them like quick, fast, stable, instant, shocking, followed by a screech from the tires or Jack, my goodness, now that the manufacturers are in the top. mountain bikers shouting at the top of their lungs that EES are the best option or for that matter cars nowadays, it's a bit of a hard pill to swallow especially for the average Filipino consumer considering the prices they are asking, not all of them are expensive but for crossovers mainly yes, they are expensive, these ladies and gentlemen, however, it is the byd Auto 3 and Legend says so, you can get it for less than 2 million Philippine boats, these are Bosch with twin blades, the original slide left the original, thanks below.

Bosch Arot Twin wiper blades have excellent cleaning performance due to an improved rubber formula and iodium spring strips. Long life due to less abrasion and wear and super quiet cleaning. I can actually do this in my sleep. It's very easy, just unzip it and it's basically like a hook. It comes off that easy. Removing the old blade is probably twice as difficult as putting on the new blade because the new blade is so easy. Lift the cover, slide it all the way in, latch it, and close it. That's why the old blades have To be so complicated, Flip Flip with the boss, all you have to do is just open it, push it in, hook it and boom, Tito, boy, it's your uncle.

You're done, we still have plenty of time. I'll even do the backside for 3 minutes. What do you think I'm an amateur? I broke it? No, I didn't have you worried for a while ooh waterproof oh streak-free gingo hey, that's actually really nice. I don't understand what happened. Conventional is a term we use. We wouldn't normally use it to describe the other EES we've driven on the channel, but that's exactly what we'll use for the byd ATO because, as it says in its front clip, it's exactly that, except maybe for the fact that there is no entry here on the larger bumper, just one at the bottom.

Now it's good and bad to be conventional because well, if you try to integrate, it's great if you want to stand out, not so good, what does stand out. OMG this DRL that spans the entire width of the car looks like the Hyundai Stargazer but with a little more curves on the side, the theme of being conventional continues because when you look at it it looks like an average Crossover with wheels 18 inches. Above 175mm ground clearance the wheels, by the way, start to look like normal wheels because they don't have a plate attached to them, then you have the repeaters in the side mirrors and the camera is really the only thing that will differentiate it from your El average crossover is the fact that the charging port is located in the front instead of the back, speaking of charging, open the port and you will notice that you have a type two charger, AC up, DC, down, now If I had to charge. at home using AC type 2, you would be charging approximately from 0 to 100% in approximately 9 and a half hours, almost 10, if you took it to a gas station with a fast charger, something like something you can charge from 30 to 80, basically 50% in about 29 minutes, now I realize there are other EVS out there and Jack and I have tested them to charge much faster.

We believe the reason it's taking so long on this particular vehicle is because the battery is dead. below which it weighs, by the way, 420 kilos it has a size of 6048 KW hours, that's a little big. Byd claims the AO 3 has a range of 565km within the city, however if you were to do city and highway you'd get approximately 420km. the rear is simple and elegant, very similar to the front clip, it also has a light that spans the entire width of the car, it's very nice, but it has one all the way to the front, which I never thought I'd say that because the rear has signals Sequential turning wheels, while the front end doesn't have any here on the side, there's a sort of fish scale pattern, an Arowana pattern, if I may, it's not exactly a stand-alone piece, it has a connection inside the car. , but we'll get to that a little later.

Now this is the premium variant and we were expecting a powered tailgate, unfortunately that's gone. I can't tell you it has 440L of space, but not in its current configuration, especially with it in there too, so you can obviously fit luggage in there if you had it. To force a black buy box here you can't, but what you can do to max it out to 440L of space is to lower this floor and then you will have enough space to place the Bu Buyan box with the guy that is still in play. but obviously if you were to take out the too you will have a lot more space to put your things and of course that will be doubled if you fold down the rear seats then you will be able to fit at least Three B bu boxes and hand carry as well.

There's a lot going on in the back now and I'm going to try not to get lost in telling you everything, so let's start with the seats at the beginning. Good leather, it's quite matte. of space inside the cabin also this is my normal driving position a third person no problem because there is no central tunnel so a smaller third person, average sized adults on the other side no problem the seat colors are They look like Captain America, which is strange because, after all, this is a Chinese vehicle, the scales on the outside, uh, are also imitated here on the interior, in the leather, although I'll explain it a little more because that will continue, actually, the front toys back here include a center armrest with cup holders that aren't very big or deep because you can't fit a full size bottle in there, although there are some, and then in the door you can't fit this full size bottle anywhere either. , so if you were to try the Jack bottle that's just not going to go anywhere, but there are a lot of storage spaces available, like for example in the door or rather in the seat, there are pockets for your cell phone, so it's nice and deep, you have air vents. in the center, which reminds me of on and off generators, but if you want something a little more modern, they actually look like the JBL Flip speakers, a bit big and quirky.

You have USB charging points in the form of type A. and type c, a little cubby there and then really strange things happen on the door because if you look at the handle, it has a kind of strange wrench, it looks like it was lifted from a M, that is. It is not a speaker, it is just a design, the speaker is located below. Now I have to tell you that this is an electric vehicle, so the goal is to be as quiet as possible, but if you have kids here, it will be a problem for two reasons: one is because they are probably going to complain about how they are marking the seats. .

This white leather will get dirty quickly, I think so, and second, there is something on the door that looks a little strange. like an unfinished Star Trek Enterprise or a guitar actually and when I say guitar I mean complete with the sounds now if the kids are doing this all the time during the trip you are going to lose your mind. jaming we jaming we jaming we jaming we jaming we jaming we jaming we jaming i w to jaming with Probably the lyrics are probably wrong right, I don't even know it's been a while since I listened to Bob Marty because I have.

I haven't been to the beach in a long time. We all know who the kid here is. I'm I'm a boy.

review

oh review, I almost forgot about all the meat and potatoes of being in the back seats, what's the space that's the legroom, that's my normal driving position pretty good, the headroom, nothing spectacular because I'm not the tallest person on the planet, kids. back here you would lose your mind you are the kid shut up you remember the scales outside the car right and I pointed out how there are scales also on the white part of the leather inside the car here in the front is where it all culminates look at the AO 3 it is part of the oceanic series of Byd in which Dash is supposed to imitate ocean water when he crashes and when he does this part, here in the center is the sand which then takes you to the air vents.

Don't know. exactly what the air vents look like, but now it reminds me that there's the ocean thing, like pearly shells by the ocean, you know what I mean, uh, stop laughing, Jack, um, this part here, the lever of changes reminds people of what children use to dig. Holes in the sand, the scoop to me, actually looks like the throttle input that Denzel Washington was using when he flipped the plane. It was a big movie, so there's also a lot going on here, uh, inside the front cabin, so obviously the colors. it would be water and then sand, which is like water and sand, the red is basically just an accent or they're trying to imitate Captain America, I'm not sure I have all the car controls in this section here. or on the steering wheel, that's it, it's very clean, it's very simple, the air controls are here, although there are no fan controls, it just turns on and off, same with your but with your audio, sorry, you have power, but you can control the audio control. uh the volume here, you have your modes, your automatic parking, your regenerative braking and your danger is down here, everything down here, up, uh, under the infotainment system is clean on the steering wheel, you have your adaptive cruise on one side of the car, on the other side, your audio controls and functions for your infotainment, your infotainment is a fairly large 15 or so screen on uh with Android auto, but unfortunately there's no Apple CarPlay.

It's strange though Android Auto is wireless and there is a wireless charger down here. The infotainment screen is larger than 12 in very nice. I wish we could have borrowed a few inches from this guy, though. Kind of like what I wish I could do with Jack, take a little bit of his height and put it on me, take that and Put it here in the instrument cluster because it's so small. I wish it was a little bigger. I wish it was a little higher. Hopefully. There are also many quirks inside this car that we have shown you on the seats and. all of that, the door handles are very similar to the rear ones and are in the mou and then there's also the uh, we'll be improvising, okay, we get it, do you really get it?

Do you understand? Thank you very much, heard, uh, and then there. It's a cool party trick that this infotainment system has. Check this out, press the button here, and finally, just before you leave, there are a good number of cubicles inside this car, one down here, that can keep up with my assistant's speed. bottle that unfortunately can't fit through the door, not even here or even Jack's bottle, oh, sorry about what's here in the center, by the way, Tada, I'm sorry, I wanted to blame you, but it's my fault, so that this center console is big enough to hold Jack's bottle just like it's down here next time talk when you're talked to no now don't talk no no no no no no no no so difficult to train children expectations were not met but wait, that's not like that.

Something bad, not a big thing, but not a bad thing about this car. When you get into an electric vehicle, you expect the skin to be peeled off your face as you step on it, kind of like what we do. I have experienced this car in most of the EVS we have driven. No, it's pleasantly comfortable, responsive and drives the way it's presented, it's a family crossover. It is very easy to drive. He still responds. The throttle and the power is definitely still there, but it's not Ott, it's not over the top and I find it quite reassuring now for others, not for everyone, but for others, they will expect a fast, very fast electric vehicle, which to some extent can remain responsible and safe.

affordable

, accessible again, those terms you'll see me use a little later, but at the same time it will still be EV so you never have to walk into a gas station to buy gas again with 2011 new horsepower and 310 m of torque. respectable, but he has to go to the gym a little to be a little faster.

Its projected range, as tested, actually holds up well in traffic, we only consumed 3% of the battery charge going from Makati to Ken City, so you could say that the daily commute to the city will consume about 10% as long as you're penciled in or something and speaking of traffic, the Adas system in this car is smooth and easy most of the time but can freak out if the cars in front of you are getting hit. It's a bit predictable and at times it's safe and brakes a bit abruptly before continuing, but I like to say that I really like these seats, the lumbar support is not intrusive, in fact there is no button there so lumbar support is lacking, maybe it's CU.

I'm Kuba, but the bolsters on the seat are very comfortable. I like, as we showed before, the seats were very luxurious, yes, and when. you're driving, it feels like that too. I feel very good inside this car, maybe this car was built for me. The suspension is a bit good and bad in my opinion, it isgood. I like it because there is a lot of flexibility. It's soft. a crossover, that's how I like it, is bad because, due to the weight of the vehicle, one would expect the suspension to be a little stiffer to be able to transport much better after all, the batteries weigh 400 12 kilos.

They are very low, but you can still feel the weight of the vehicle in the way it turns, in the way it rolls, in the way it leans when you accelerate it and the tires also tend to squeal, so yeah, You really feel that weight, however, regardless of how much weight is inside this car, there is still enough power to squeal the tires from time to time, like I said, for example, if we were to do the ATU test, let's turn it up to, say , 30 km per hour. they're in sport mode thanks to the mode button right there and then H I'm just waiting for you to relax until you do, okay?

Did you hear the tire screech? Okay, that scared me, man, yeah, when I did it the first time. I was a little scared too, wait dude this isn't around the corner please let's do it around the corner oh oh my god stop stop stop for the love of god nvh Ah, there is something good, maybe it's because I'm used to it. How quiet is the Tesla MD mg4, but there is a humming noise inside this car, actually the humming noise is outside the car, you can hear it inside whether you are going forward or reverse, and it's not particularly a very sexy sound, it's futuristic mostly, yes, mostly. definitely, but I guess maybe it could be because I got used to the mg4 and the Tesla once again.

I'm not a big fan of it, no, neither am I now that I'm a little stuck in traffic. traffic I noticed that the brakes on this car are very very sensitive when you are going at speed, they work very well but when you are in traffic it tends to bite quite hard if you just touch the button, there it goes when you touch the brake slightly, it tends to bite right away, there's no way to tell it to calm down when you're in traffic, the same way the best way to explain it is when you have electronic steering like you do here when you're on the highway.

On the highway it tightens up nicely and then when you're in traffic it loosens up. Unfortunately, the brakes are sensitive all the time, so it's easier to control when you're going fast, which basically means never drive slow. this car I'm not sure the logic works but no it doesn't work no I will also add that the brakes, although sensitive, lack a little more oomph in the stopping power sense because in traffic it's great but at speed or faster than your normal speed, it will show how heavy the car is and you will want a little more stopping power, not to the point where you need to hit the brakes, no, but you would feel safer if the stopping power of this The car was a little stronger now, it may seem like we have been picky with this car and it is true because we have been comparing it to other electric vehicles, well the truth is that they cost almost twice as much, but look at the price. that you are paying for this car, you get an electric vehicle for what you would normally get with an internal combustion engine 4 Plus, there are three pillars of this car that you would never think of using to describe an over the top electric vehicle;

It is certainly not, it is, for all intents and purposes, sensible and practical, an electric vehicle that is sensible and practical. I have to admit that when you get into an electric vehicle, the first thing you expect is for it to be a trip that will blow your mind. You won't really get this car, but I'm telling you that everything it offers is everything you will want or need anyway and at a price that is a hell of a lot more

affordable

for more Filipino buyers because as we mentioned above, it drops below 2 million of Philippine pesos, it drops exactly at 1,798,000 Philippine pesos for a crossover and then if you want something even more affordable, the AO 3 actually starts at just 1.6 million Philippine pesos, we know this for sure because you have all the information What you need about this car or any car for sale in the Philippines on our Auto Deal app.

We've reviewed many EVS on our channel and when we do, it's mainly about how fast the car is. Futuristic looking, it is the technology within the self test that will always be a winner and really how it works when you put it under pressure, not everyone is looking for that type of electric vehicle and we understand that because from time to time if you want to be able to purchase an electric vehicle because it is affordable, practical and, most importantly, because it is accessible. If those three things are very important to you, then A 3 might be something you should consider.
