Just ordered my ATTO 2, any advice?

First time EV and BYD owner here! Super excited to get the car I drove it in the test drive and absolutely loved it. It is super comfortable and super sleek and driving is nice as well. I do have a couple of questions! The first is whether there is a reliable way of getting YouTube music on it, I know it isn't in the store yet, but I prefer it over Spotify and I detest android auto. I saw some people managed to get yt music revanced on there. Also, is Waze available as a native app? If not how good is the native navigation app? The workaround I can think of is to use AA only for yt music and use the BYD native apps for the rest!

I dont use any native apps. AA works good enough and revanced yt music too. Just cant select music in AA so need to use mobile.

Congrats, you order one of the few BYD models that are absolute trash

How are they trash? Genuinely curious.

The drive is heave and feels like you are in a cart instead of a car. Noise insulation is nonexistent. The interior is all made of scratch able hard plastic and seats are real bad, so bad that your back will hurt in less than 1 hour. I travel a lot for work and this car has been the worst taxi model I have experienced(Song Plus was nice, Sealion 7 was great, VW ID4 was fine, Benz EQC and VW ID6 were great). I got so annoyed by this model that I even wrote the taxi company to never send me one again, like hell I was paid full price for a taxi car that would be worse than a golf 4! I also gets you motion sickness when being a passenger, only Kona EV has given me an experience this bad(another piece of trash car)

Ah yeah fair enough, thanks for that! I heard a lot of good things about the sea lion but i thought the material used in that car would be the same on an atto

Hey! I've done around 1000kms... I'm still getting used to the car. There is no native YT Music, I believe you can 'side load' apps, but nothing wrong with Android Auto. Your other option is Spotify, which is installed. I used it today for the first time, and it's actually not bad. The local maps are 'Google Maps' lite. I prefer Google Maps on Android Auto. There is no Waze app.

You can press on the mic and ask it to play certain music.

Oh I've seen a couple of reviews showing the Waze icon on the screen

Hi! Owner of a S1 Pro in Costa Rica, called Atto 2 everywhere else. You have native CarPlay and Android Auto, I use Waze through there, works like a charm, I think YouTube music can work with those but not sure about it. If not you can sideload the app and use it "native" from the car instead of Android auto or CarPlay.

That's called budget car. Apparently you never heard this before. Atto 2 is way cheaper than any of these cars you mentioned. At least in Spain there's no EV SUV of group B that comes close to Atto 2 when it comes to equipment for the price. Maybe Kia Ev3 comes close but sacrifices a lot of items.

A normal Polo drives way better! ID3 must also be similarly priced and is not that bad

VW ID cars are flopping

OptimusTron222 2026-03-07 23:59

Most electrics are flopping in Europe, our electricity prices are insane and power grid not ready

This model is a disaster even in the US though. It's well known to have thousands of them stockpiled because no one is buying them.
