Review
I decided to hold my review for 3 months after I own this car, and here I am providing my review now.
As an owner to this car, I have lots of opportunities to see heads turning when either I drove cross or parking.
I also received numerous complements at Coffee Shop, residential area and office car park.
Other than the Atlas Batman tyres which I changed the entire set after 3 encounters of car swinging when I drove over patches of water during raining days, I really has nothing to complain about.
Learning more about LFP batteries after owning the car gave me a lot more assurance that I am thankful I did not choose a Lithium Ion battery type of cars.
The drive is always comfortable, no hard landing driving over humps, instant response and quick pick up with great handling assured me to be able to maneuver through city jam swiftly.
Family is happy, Spotify is there to entertain everyone in the car, and with the BYD APP, it enables the car to be remotely managed, such as turning on the aircon remotely, so that it is a lot cooler hen we stepped in to the car, even when it is parked under the hot sun, in the open car park.
Charging is just as swiftly as anyone could imagine, with the BYD APP on hand, I will be able to tell the SOC%, so as to plan my time and be able to pick up the car when it is just fully charged at 100%.
100%? Yes, not 80%, is 100%, thanks to LFP batteries which allows us the ATTO 3 owners to be able to fully utilize the battery capacity instead of 80%.
The 360 degree cameras helped de-stressing tight parallel parking, there is no longer needing to worry about the car being scratched because of tight space where we are not able to accurately judge on sufficient clearance to park.
These are the benefits that I ripe, besides the running costs (fuel, maintenance, etc.), besides being earth friendlier, besides helping the government to achieving a greener Singapore and zero CO2 emission at the set target date, I truly feeling happy owning and driving this car.
What I like
Everything about this car, even it is a China technology and manufactured in China, it is simply awesome!
What I do not like
The Atlas Batman tyre, definitely need to change to a better set for safe driving during raining days.

Best Family EV you can buy below $200K. Comfortable and refined than most other EV. Drove it for 2 weeks and didn't miss any of my previous rides and could be the best vehicle driven. Test drive it yourself. The apps make available on byd in the future would be like a android tablet on wheels.

Forget about the old e6 or the M3e. This thing isn't just some quickly stamped together car from BYD. There's actually a good amount of polish to be had.
What I like
It's certainly very new looking. And forget the pictures, this thing is so much larger than it appears. It's also quite distinctive, as long, that is, as our roads are not completely filled with them. Those rear lights also look very premium when you're driving around at night.
And there's enough power here as well, although you'll really have to mash the throttle down a bit to get all horses pushing. That makes for easy around-town driving if you're wearing boots or have sloppy footwork I guess.
What I do not like
The cabin is alright as well. Don't really dig the muscles theme they have going on but the rest of it all is quite decent. You get a rotating screen so you can watch whatever you want while charging.
And speaking of, the range in this thing is also quite decent, but you'd expect that with a 60kWh battery.
Good range and high specs | Posted on 23 Oct 2022 |

At this price point, it's top value for money for an EV. MG HS EV, Hyundai Kona/Ioniq, Nissan Leaf, Peugeot e2008 and Opel Mokka-e are all about $20k lower. None have the range and equipment list that is close to the Atto.
By the way, this car does have keyless entry, as well as tons of safety features
Very powerful ev! | Posted on 30 Sep 2022 |

Who says this car is not powerful?
Even in eco mode, the car can fly and yet so silent due to ev during my test drive.
Everything also have especially the 360 deg cam, large display, lane change warning and adaptive cruise control.
Byd blade battery save so much space until this car is indeed very spacious.
I am indeed very amazed at how China has such high tech.
Only gripe is it has no one pedal driving like Nissan epower but definitely more powerful as cat b.
They offer very good trade in for ur car too. Can ask.
God knows how they made this after the BYD E6 | Posted on 16 Aug 2022 |

God knows how BYD managed to make something as good as the Atto 3 after producing the monstrosity known as the BYD E6. Everything that the BYD E6 fails at, the Atto3 manages to correct, by a country mile.
Granted there is a 30k price difference between the 2 cars. However I would so far as to say that it feels more like a 300k price difference. What an exaggeration you might say but let me explain why.
Lets start off from the exterior. The Atto 3 clearly knocks it out of the park in this regard. The looks are futuristic, clean and sharp. In a way that not many SUVs from even Audi can boast about nowadays. Yes, the Atto 3 does look that good in real life. Which makes me question once again how did they manage to get the E6 so wrong.
Next is the interior. Yes, the design is certainly divisive. Personally to me I think it looks ok, but I know of many people who were visibly repulsed the moment the car opened its doors. You will have to view the car to know what I mean. It truly is divisive. However, it is good where it counts. The build quality is pretty awesome, with a feeling of solidity. The use of soft touch materials and premium leather also brings a really upmarket feeling to the cabin.
I am talking BMW - beating standards of interior quality. The seats for example are a mile ahead from seats in equivalent BMW models. You know the kind of BMWs with absolutely horrid Dakota leather which make your back hurt after just 30 mins of driving?
When it comes to the driving experience, this is where the Atto 3 started to let me down. The quoted circa 200bhp is certainly not accurate as at no point did the car feel remotely punchy. Apparently, bhp ratings are extremely generous in China where BYD cars are made. I suggest that the company uses measuring techniques adopted by the Germans instead.
Other than power, handling is decent and ride quality is smooth and pleasant.
All in all, the BYD Atto 3 is a mighty fine car. If you can ignore the absolutely out of whack power figure, it is possibly one of the best cars at this price range.
Certainly miles better than the ahem, E6.
What I like
- Well conceived exterior design
- Spacious and high-rent interior
- Great ride
What I do not like
- Massively out of whack power rating
- Not much at all

Review
Don't be fooled by the photos, this new Atto 3 is larger than they suggest. But does the abilities of this new all-electric SUV live up to its physical dimensions?
What I like
There's good space for all on the inside, and the ride quality is actually very good. Its soft and supple in a pleasing manner, allowing you to ride over all the humps that are becoming so common here in Singapore.
Forget about making jokes about Chinese-made cars here. This Atto 3 comes with build quality that will give older manufacturers something to think about.
Power is also decent. It's not as fast as what you might think of a 200bhp car, and there's not much of the electric torque everyone is all excited about, but that makes the Atto 3 a car that's very easy to get into and just drive, even without careful footwork.
What I do not like
The styling is definitely going to catch curious stares. Especially if you get yours in the greenish-blue exterior.
But on the inside is where people will really scratch their heads. There's strange curves all over the dashboard, weird door handles, funny strings in the doors for your kids to irritate you, etc.
And there's also a rotating screen in here, which ok, all the kids are now watching tik tok on vertical screen and it gives you something to do while you're charging your car, but it's a curious feature that i think many will forget about after two days.

I viewed and tested this car, it is spacious for both front and back seat.
A lot quieter than its competitors, pickup wise though is not the best, it is acceptable.
What I like
Sleek design.
Good road holding.
Spacious front and back seats.
impressive over 400KM range.
electric tail gate.
What I do not like
Some unnecessary artistical interior design (such as the red strings).
No keyless entry (asked and confirmed by sales person).
Good looking car, but too upmarket for the mass market | Posted on 08 Jul 2022 |

Saw this at the BYD showroom. Impressive exterior looks. Unrecognisable as a BYD. Funky interior - infotainment screen is rotatable, buyers of this car will have their Atto 3 with wireless carplay and wireless android auto in Q4, done via software updates or what they term as over the air updates, similar to Tesla and the likes. Navigation will also be added at a later date. These are features even some base model conti cars are not equipped with for the same value.
Car looks highly interesting albeit a bit too funky for my liking. But no doubt, it is feature packed - sunroof, electric tailgate, adaptive cruise control with stop & go, safety features like your lane keeping, lane departure warning. At $178,888, this is a steal if you consider the premium you are paying for Cat B COE now.
To sum it up, good car but launched at the wrong time. If COE was at $30K, I say this is the one to convert me to an EV. I'll wait for now.
Dear BYD if you're reading this, do consider bringing in some models for the mass market car buyers like myself.

Review
Was driving Audi A6 the past 10 years, the change to EV - after 8 months of driving Atto3 is irreversible. Instant torque, smooth quiet drive, with all the electronic wizardry. The front struts suspension may not be as good, Ditto the lack of automatic Rain sensor or the kick boot open function, all round tap locks etc. The whole package makes up for the deficiency above. Wish there would be software refinements and may be incremental updates to this package in the future.
