BYD Atto 3 Electric
The ever-popular BYD Atto 3 was given a few light tweaks, and these have made it even more well-rounded than before. The shiny 'Dragon Scales' are now finished in gloss black instead of silver, while the 'Build Your Dreams' badge on the tailgate has been replaced by 'BYD' instead. Inside, a larger 15.6-inch infotainment screen replaces the 12.8-inch unit, while the 60.5kWh battery can now take DC charging at up to 88kW instead of 80kW.

Had the opportunity to drive a one-year-old Atto 3 as a temporary replacement car for 2 weeks, and this is my experience with it.The car has plenty of soft materials that felt nice to the touch. Seats are cushy and comfy. Big infotainment screen gives the car a high-tech feel. Indeed, it has lots of tech features for the price that you pay. The drive and handling was fine, just don't expect much from this price range. Acceptable acceleration, body roll is quite obvious, but not to the point of losing control.However, I have doubts on the durability of the car. For the unit that I drove, the centre arm rest cushion has already flattened from regular arm-resting, leaving the leather wrap loose (imagine a blister). I suspect other cushy parts will have the same problem after years of regular usage. The wireless carplay is questionable too. There were two occasions where my carplay disconnected in the middle of the drive, and I lost the satnav. I had to exit to somewhere safe to set up my satnav again.

Actual range 350km or lesser on average. No God eye upgrade. Steering rack issue less than 6mths, with no ready stock for replacement(takes about 2 months or more to wait). Some might get draftshaft issues as well.Some reported BSD alarms from less than 1 year owners. Car horn is damn hard to press on and once press, it's damn loud that type.

New owner to EV.My previous car KIA cerato K3. Definitely a huge change. Never regret!What i likes.-Super spacious seats and front and back boot.-Handling i feel is good. It's not as bad as people mention. Maybe it's the safely feature activated thus causing the issue. -I think the suspension is good compare to my previous ride. So bouncy. Man go slow then.-Music surround its good when you blast them !-Try to dislike the 15.6" Screen. Damn guys like big right.-Exteriors is also good the door is design to trap mud and dust so it won't get in trust me very useful when travel across Singapore often.-Auto start aircon and unlock feature using apps.-Crazy wide sun shade and sun roof-360 camera view. -Clear front dash cameraWhat I dislikes.-No spare tyres, which gave you extra space right.-interior a little funky but sleek. Kinda like aircraft pilot or spaceship.-Some bugs with the spotify. Trying to goggles seem it's common to have playlist missing song. Have to use android auto instead.-They don't supply the small items. You will have to source those items from Taobao or shopee.Apologise, if my review wasn't what you looking for but it's what and how I felt. Compare to my previous car.

Been driving this car for 9 months with no issues. Value for money. Max cost from 0-100% is less than $45 in Singapore. Couple of times using this car, we test its mileage to the extreme 'Zero Percent' feeling. It's enough mileage to cover for 5 days with it's average distance covered 350-400km per full charge.Save us from a couple of major accidents with it's safety features. The only dissatisfaction is the Atlas tyre given as it's not that long lasting. If never do tyre rotation at 10k, both front tyre flower thread is almost worn out to. Change whole set to my preferred CP7.The furthest we went is to Perak for glamping and no issue on charging. Although you need to plan much intensively where to charge your car. Most popular RnR on AH2 now have a charger or two especially 2H of 2024.The only dissatisfaction is that High Insurance. Even with 50% NCD is $1400+. Instant torque like 2-liter turbo car. Then using a CAT A for Atto3, I do not mine the charge of $700+ which is equivalent to 1.6 liter hybrid but the extra surcharge tax by the Government of $700+ which add up to $1502~ road tax. Its asterisk something about fuel tax we would use for the year thus need to be tax.

Verdict
It should come as little surprise that the BYD Atto 3 is the top viewed model in 2024, just as it was in 2023. The buzz around it has not ceased; if anything, it has only increased. So much so that it is the best-selling single model in Singapore in 2024.

That’s certainly helped by the introduction of a Cat A model – offering buyers a more affordable alternative without losing out much in terms of the car’s feature set. A light facelift in 2024 brings a larger infotainment screen and better tyres, adding even more to the car’s compelling package.

And it is precisely the car’s extensive feature set that has made it so appealing to buyers. It is packed full of technology and features, and the mechanical package is also tested and proven. It may not be the quickest in a straight line, but it offers a light and comfortable drive, while the 60.5kWh battery will deliver close to 400km on a full charge.

With numerous new players in the market, on top of established brands now offering more electric models, the competition is stiffer than before. But BYD’s first-mover advantage is clear – the brand has managed to capture significantly more market share in 2024, bolstered by this model.

And the value-for-money proposition is also impossible to ignore – aggressively priced against the competition, the Atto 3 makes an immediately compelling case to potential buyers, many of whom have clearly been convinced.

As the market continues to embrace electric mobility (and especially electric SUVs), the BYD Atto 3 should continue to remain front of mind for many shoppers. And it is easily Sgcarmart’s Top Viewed Model of 2024.
