An MG ZS EV owner samples the BYD Atto 3: Few points worth mentioning

Will most likely proceed with the car & go for the Premium Version.

BHPian suashanthys recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I test drove the BYD Atto 3 today (the present version- the new ones have not arrived yet). The car is for my wife.

We own a MG ZS EV.

Points worth mentioning.

• The driver's seat & the back seat are more comfortable & spacious.
• The cabin is classy with quality materials (same as MG)
• Touch screen is superb (better than MG)
• The reversing camera & 360 camera are very good. Superb clarity.
• There are rear cabin LED lights( Not there in MG)
• Power is more than adequate( Though I felt MG was slightly more powerful. Maybe owner bias)
• The blade battery. So far, heard only good things.
• There is a storage space under the front console.Very handy (was there in the pre- facelift version of MG. Not there in the present car)
• One touch tailgate button

According to the dealer, supposed to come with Continental Tyres.

• The dash instrument panel is not great, just a small screen with crowded numbers. My only grouse with the car( MG dash digital screen is awesome).But it is something that can be lived with.The screen is mounted on the steering wheel and moves with it, hence visibility is all right. Nothing is obscured.

• When you are attending a phone call, the A/c fan speed automatically reduces( for call clarity).
• Red colour, which was popular, is no longer available.
• No spare tyre. But a space saver is available as an accessory( size details NA)

All in all, impressed. I had made a booking 1 week back.

Will most likely proceed with the car. Will go for the Premium Version. The only extra things in Superior version are ADAS, Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Headlamps( Not sure whether the 5 lakhs premium is worth it).
