The BYD Atto 3 Evo has been approved for the Australian Market

Me: What's so good about the Evo over the regular Atto 3? (Reads article) Oh. Yeh ok that is good.

Even the rwd model now has a 5.5second0-100. Pretty impressive, large boot too. Seems very practical. Price will determine a lot though

Yep. Only had mine for 8 months and it’s very tempting

Hopefully improved suspension tuning to deal with extra power, AWD version is bonkers

3.9s is insane

This is awesome news. Not so awesome because I have a 2022 Atto 3. But still cool nonetheless

NGL, I wish the boot was larger and that they took more space from the second row. The second row is absolutely HUGE, as a 6’ person, yet the boot could always do with more luggage space, especially with a pram in it.

Why, why do they have to make such a good package, and then let the same interior designer as the first gen have their way with it 😭

At the very least just stop with the crazy colours and delete the side cup holder cables.

Still no "God s Eye" ADAS :(

The door handles neeeeed to go as well. The biggest issue I have is the knowledge that they can actually do a good interior. The seal is perfect, just do that in every car, it's understated, modern, just roll with that?

🇨🇳💩

Yeah, I'm likely to swap my ATTO3 if that comes out in a new model.

Geez that RWD version with that range looks awesome. Hopefully they keep the price low!

Those door handles are a travesty. Imagine designing those and not only keeping your job but seeing your work last this long. Not to mention the greasy feeling synthetic leather and the ...string. Maybe if it goes fast enough you won't be able to notice.

Nah the door handles are fine, easier to use than just about any other design. It’s sad to see all the newer BYD models coming with conservative designs. Sealion 7 looks hideous with big shiny black slab dash

We believe you

It sounds very tempting but I would like to get an insurance quote before going too far.

WTF cant i click that link ?

I think functionally they're actually pretty good they just stick out like dogs balls being that gaudy silver, they look so cheap and nasty

Hope they remember to swap sides with the steering wheel before sending them

It's seriously impressive. I've got a 2022 Atto3 and this is a massive upgrade. I'll probably buy one, even though I freaking hate that gear selector move to the right, because having two different Atto's is going to be a pain in the arse.

I've got a 2022 Atto 3 and I don't mind the interior at all. In fact, this refresh looks even better.

In practice, they work totally fine. I've had mine for 3.5 years.

One thing I love about the second row is that it's so spacious. I often get my kids to drive me around and I just sit in the back now. It's cozy.

I'm looking at the rear wheel drive to run next to my existing Atto 3 and I hope they improve the suspension and the brakes because it's just not going to be up to it otherwise.

Yeah but I can have front seat at reasonable space for me (6’) and then still have more than enough in the back for me. Like take 20cm out of the second row and throw it into the boot. It’s rare you’d get a car full of 6’+ people in front and rear.

Isn’t it supposed to be activated on all current models once it’s launched here? Though the Atto will only get the base level (no LIDAR).

Damn the specs on either version look awesome. Good range and even the RWD is plenty fast.

That's true. A bit more boot space would be nice, but we're starting to creep into the Sea Lion 7, I suppose.

Knock off of the MGS5 EV.

Not if you move the rear seats forward a tad, which is what I’m saying. Same overall length.

Like everything about the Atto 3 except the interior

They're committed to those occy straps. They look and feel like right before they released the car they suddenly realised everything falls out of the door bins

Their exterior design is on point but the interiors look like a mermaids magical groto. I would buy a dolphin in a flash if the insides looked better. And why the guitar strings!?

Being able to operate the gear selector without taking a hand off the steering wheel is far superior to having it located on the centre console

No idea the strings! And this is the bit that kills me, it's a genuine dealbreaker for me. My brother was looking at an atto 3, took one look inside the model 3 and that was that. It's an incredibly silly thing to be losing genuine sales on

Wanna guess where your phone came from? 😂

Samsung shop, Perth....do i win anything for a correct guess?

No, answer is china

Incorrect guess. You're minus one point. Samsung stopped using China for the Ultra models in 2019.

I just saw other photos and it has an under seat drawer tray under the second row seats. That’s incredible, why so few (none I know of) cars do this?

Looks great! Finally a nice looking EV at a reasonable asking price. (Looks at the interior full of cylindrical side speakers, sagging dashboard, garish alternating coloured trim, and weird air con vents that I don't even know how to describe) Never mind.

Yeah, that's right australia, keep supporting byd human rights violations [https://www.reddit.com/r/AustralianEV/s/fOwumRG8bL](https://www.reddit.com/r/AustralianEV/s/fOwumRG8bL) Idiots!

That cheap nasty plastic leds passenger dash pretty much killed it for me. So tacky.
