Atto 3 vs Other EV mini suv (uk)

I'm 5'10 so not exactly tall. I really love my 2025 Atto 3, it really is a pleasure everytime i get in (approx 8 months now). It is indeed comfortably snug around the thighs etc, but its never uncomfortable in my opinion. The only thing i would probably change would be for a little bit more range of adjustment for the steering wheel. Its fine, just sometimes would like to be able to lower an inch or so more.

Thanks for your perspective, what would you say is your favourite part/feature of the car?

The ease of driving. effortless, fast, smooth acceleration, intelligent cruise control etc.

I have a 21 p8 volvo im 6 foot. Choose the comfortable car, imo. i didnt look at the byd so cant comment but did look at a merc eqc at the time and the volvo was wider and much more comfortable In the drivers seat and that along with android infotainment was the reason i got the volvo

As a tall person with a long torso, I sat in many cars and test drove a few before deciding to go with the Atto3 design. Never regretted it at all. When I first sat in it, the seat felt a little short, especially at the shoulders. However, when I got my car, I noticed that tilting the seat back ever so slightly opened that area up for me and it's actually comfortable. I test drove a Volvo as well but didn't like how it reacted. The atto was way smoother and especially long distance is comfortable to drive. It feels like you get a lot more luxury for your money. I love the 360 camera, obviously when parking, but my favourite use is when I drive through tight spots like narrow lanes or - living in a rural area, I use it to go around deep potholes on some of the country lanes. The bird eye view allows perfect slow navigation where I would have turned around in a different car. Range is amazing, too.

Bonjour, je ne suis pas très grand , mais je te conseille fortement la BYD Atto 3 , c est le top , je suis comme toi je ne roule pas beaucoup, environ 160 km par mois je recharge à la maison pour environ 600 thb par mois, j’habite en Thailande , même pas 40 euros par mois 🙏

I didnt realise you can use the camera whilst driving, I thought it was only in reverse! 🤯

There's a button on the steering wheel, it's perfect when you live in rural areas with all the challenges attached to that. Also fun to try it out when you're going through one of those automated car washes!

Can I ask what your average milage and how often you charge? As this will be my first EV I'm curious about how often I'll have to charge

Our regular commute is a mix of country roads, rural lanes and slow A route with sometimes heavy traffic, plus some local trips to shops etc and is around 35 miles round trip a day, it uses up around 25% of battery. So we don't charge daily and it's fine. We also regularly do longer distance trips and are happy with the range, it's around 240 miles. One thing to consider is that weather has an impact, the battery drains more quickly in the cold and also when you use things like the defog or aircon for longer times. So basically cold winter days or very hot summer days. We've done quite a few road trips abroad already now, France, Netherlands, Germany and it was great. Charging was no issue either. A few years ago before getting my Atto3, I was concerned about long distance range and if the car could actually hold up to our needs, but now I am convinced and would recommend it highly to anyone.

Never buy an EV without warranty as something happens - all costs are on you, and it can be 1000 - 15000 pounds, can you afford the risk? With an used Atto 3 you need to check if the service was done on time and mileage - so the warranty is active.
