Just got my Atto 3 (also in red color) here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and I am just loving it every moment. So many things about this car. And especially it had a different interior. Different interior than usual, like every other car has typical and almost the same style Interior.
Yeah I'm also from the Netherlands. Ordered the Boulder zgrey Design version. The story behind the interior is really inspiring and refreshing in the car market. I'm an IT guy and really like the gadgets.
Nice review bruh. In the middle of deciding whether to proceed with the purchase or not. But after hearing your points, to my need, i think, this might be worth to own.
Wow really impressed by your car review. Totally knocked it out of the park. I always felt your phone reviews were great, but your car review is good too. Amazing work!
Great review, thanks a lot! On squeaking tires in the car park, this is not uncommon I guess for new tires. Even my old tires squeak sometimes in garages, and it also depends on the floor surface of the park.
I have been driving EV's for 7 years now and I had 4 electric cars and the next one will definitely be electric. Looking forward to see this car in the UK
@@honesty_-no9he. U.k car taxes are nothing compared to Singapore crazy shameful Coe and taxes. This Atto 3 cost around £120,000 excluding personal car loan interests and insurance.
In New Zealand they tested charging and many other owners have also found fast charging although they state 80kW have found it gets up to a peak of almost 90kW. Did you test the V2L capability? I personally LOVE the red, #TeamRed, and if I end up with one it will be the Red colour. The interior is a very personal thing definitely, I don't mind it. Is it cheaper than Tesla or other EV's there?
the real user review should include the charging experience in Malaysia, like how convinient or inconvinient it is to find one, the waiting experience when charging vs conventional fueling, the situation of charging station installation from manufacturer if you are living in condo/apartment, pricing of charging compared to petrol and also things like cost of maintaining the car. This is just another typical car reviewer style but with less focus on the car specs.
Wheel spin is something that most experienced drivers will know how to 1.avoid or 2.handle. Just tell the driver that this car has a lot of horsepower and to not slam down the pedal. The only drivers that have problems and get surprised by this are newer/inexperienced drivers.
I believe the term you're looking for is "wheel spin". Also, do look up YS Khong. He way past 50 and can definitely handle "tire spins" better than most here...
I sat in one the other day I was impressed by the speed of the software. I have heard other reviewers suggest you change the tires to better ones when you can.
As an Atto owner for 6 months now I think the tyres the car comes with are just fine. People who fancy themselves to be numero uno racing drivers will probably mess with them...
HI Lim, Thanks for the review. Speaking about the passenger comfort, I went to test drive with my wife and she felt the car actually feels floaty ( ofcourse she is abit sensitive ), just in your opinion, do you get the feedback as well? suspension design or just the car i tested was like that?
Personally...I do NOT like Air Cond blowing direct to my FACE. Bad for Breathing. Too dry and Cold air. Tyres ...Many Complains about its Noise and Comfort. If can AFFORT ... Upgrade tyres to BETTER ones like Goodyear , Michellin, Prielli , Contential , etc . Personally ...I am going to Upgrade mine to Michellin Primacy.
I think the tyre spin you were referring to was torque steer and usually happens to front driven vehicles. You just got to feed in the power by depressing on the accelerator gradually, and it'll be fine. 😅
Beautiful car. I think it's all the car you'll ever need for the money. Have you had any mechanical issues with it? Do you happen to know how reliable it is? How does it compare to VW ID3? I've heard both are roughly the same price? I prefer the BYD because I like SUVs.
For those who dont know. its's called torque steer i believe, that made the steering unstable. Ways to rectify, get a stickier tyre-(but will hurt your range cus of the rolling resistance) OR, dont floor the throttle when stationary(dont launch your car)? Torque steering commonly found in front wheel drive cars with higher powers-thats why more powerful cars are often rear-wheel-drive cars like BMW 3/Merc C class and up.
I'm on my way to own a BYD atto3 myself, I noticed that they used China brand tyre A21 batman 😂..IYO, would you change to another trusted tyre brand like continental/Michelin?
okay, but that doesn’t give us evidence of “major” problems. Anecdotal reports does not equal decent data on which to hang the word major on. Can you point me towards evidence of major problems? I appreciate the evidence out of China would be tricky but anything outside of China? Ta
The tyres squeak, especially on smooth surfaces due the compound they use in the tyres. I am staying at an Airbnb, just about 50/60 metres away there is a small roundabout/circle. The cars going around are squeaking their tyres. Not going fast at all. Some cars are doing it, but not all.
I know you properly won’t see the comment because the videos have been months ago, but I wonder is the car’s 4g connection comes with any extra charges?
Have you check on the warranty on Msia? Seems there been a lot of issue in country like Australia where BYD change the warranty on the battery and parts suddenly.
I kinda agree. Especially when getting to the air cond it's a little slow to respond. Entertainment wise I use Apple CarPlay so doesn't really affect much for me.
Really ??? Really surprised. Please do NOT add other apps via APK. It may crash/interfear with BYD ... OS. And you may need to RESET the system in BYD service centres. TESLA also BAN such APP (APK) into their OS. For SAFETY and obvious reasons !!!!!!!
Interested in EV. However, where i based now (Sarawak), the ecosystem does not allow me to drive BYD roam free. Service? Charging Station (besides at home)... I will just pass lah... Plus the AC look too extreme in design (my personal view)
There is not rust "issues" reported, but one car that had rusted in the pulled apart joints (which otherwise does not rust due to being sealed) having sat outside in weather over a extended period. This is something which rusts those particular areas on all cars if this is done to them.
I just went for a test drive. My biggest concern (or my dad's 😂) is it doesn't have a spare tyre. The sa told me they provide a tool kit, idk how that works. Also when we drive in the suburbs where there's very few ev chargers, i wonder what will happen is the car stop in the middle of the road. I wish there's like a power bank to just start it, not sure if a jumper works.
Who worries about spare tires nowadays, User should know the usage of the battery before they plan for a recharge. Install a type 2 charger in your home. Settled.
The BYD Atto 3 has space for a spare tyre, jack and wheel spanner. The repair kit is mounted in a foam housing the size of a spare. Removing this kit and housing will give space for a spare tyre. I’ve read the wheel studs on the Atto are the same pattern as Toyota RAV4s and Camrys. So it might be possible to obtain a cheap spare from a car wrecker.
Loving that red on the BYD Atto 3. I have a question though. How does digital cluster fare during hot sunny glare and also during night time? Cause since the digital cluster is particularly small and it seems like it would be hard to monitor the information on the cluster with it being tad small. Would love to hear your input on this. Great video nonetheless.
Hey man! I’d say I’d wish the display were bigger, but visibility wise it definitely is visible under strong direct sunlight. It’s also not that reflective so all good there!
I know an uncle who frequents Genting regularly on his Atto 3. He’s super impressed with the climbing power. Says it’s excellent for hill climbs especially with the instant power. In fact he’s already clocked 10K KM on his BYD and I wanted to interview him for this video but he politely declined because shy 🤭
All good until you sort of suggested a 50yo may have difficulty with the wheel spin. I’m 72 and I’d challenge you to any driving test you care to name. Just saying…. Don’t stereotype!
Your father a 40 or 50 year old ...😂 Also 40/50 year olds learn to drive cars that didn't have nanny's and have more experience than a 20 year old drivers

Just got my Atto 3 (also in red color) here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and I am just loving it every moment. So many things about this car. And especially it had a different interior. Different interior than usual, like every other car has typical and almost the same style Interior.
European atto3 has a faster 11kW AC charging speed and a bigger 15.6" central touchscreen. Wished we had those in my market
and the bass string that actually works
Yeah I'm also from the Netherlands.
Ordered the Boulder zgrey Design version.
The story behind the interior is really inspiring and refreshing in the car market.
I'm an IT guy and really like the gadgets.
Happy for you from Malaysia…
Nice review bruh. In the middle of deciding whether to proceed with the purchase or not. But after hearing your points, to my need, i think, this might be worth to own.
Wah you watch my video! Looking forward to your new car 💪🏻
@@LimReviews of course la bro. Always watch yours. Video kemas, host handsome. Hehehhe
Make sure to take out fire insurance
I just booked my otto 3
That was great! Enjoyed watching your non technical review of a car rather than the usual smartphones and gadgets. Keep it going
Wow really impressed by your car review. Totally knocked it out of the park. I always felt your phone reviews were great, but your car review is good too. Amazing work!
a very good review bro! I really want to test this car🙂👍
Great video but 80kW charging is pretty slow by today's standard. Range is good but again with slow charge speed, users may need to charge daily
If you're fast charging on a daily basis, you're doing it wrong. 7kw on ac will fully charge this overnight.
Great review, thanks a lot! On squeaking tires in the car park, this is not uncommon I guess for new tires. Even my old tires squeak sometimes in garages, and it also depends on the floor surface of the park.
I have been driving EV's for 7 years now and I had 4 electric cars and the next one will definitely be electric. Looking forward to see this car in the UK
It is already here and it is £10K more than in any other country. UK GOV is taxing EVs to death.
@@honesty_-no9he.
U.k car taxes are nothing compared to Singapore crazy shameful Coe and taxes. This Atto 3 cost around £120,000 excluding personal car loan interests and insurance.
@@honesty_-no9hethey are taxing china because of rcism
So in Malaysia you drive on the left. That's new for me. Something learned. Thanks.
As a non-Malaysian, I completely understand your English accent. That should not be an issue for the voice commands.
Just got our BYD Atto 3 extended range for 2 weeks.
Enjoying the power and comfort

Great review. Wow, didn't know you review EVs! Keep up the good work bro
Wow Chris!
Nice review. Wow, progressing from the days of phones to EVs! Awesome stuff bro
Nice, I bought a red Atto 3 three weeks ago in Thailand.
I sat in one the other day I was impressed by the speed of the software. I have heard other reviewers suggest you change the tires to better ones when you can.
As an Atto owner for 6 months now I think the tyres the car comes with are just fine. People who fancy themselves to be numero uno racing drivers will probably mess with them...
The wind from aircon blowing against your neck made me chuckle. Funny bit!

You have to be very light on your feet to achieve 400+km range. For my dolphin extended only able to achieve 350+km for my driving behaviour.
i don't know is this common trend yet but i like the rear seat light. touch sensor

So sharp, what lens you used?...great review Mr.Lim
Agree with the aircon comment. It's as though the designers never sat in th car.
Hi Eddie here from East Africa, what was your average speed after covering the 450Km
My friend owns this car and he got a similar distance with 90km/hour assistant off, air conditioning and in eco.
For those who dont know.

I just love BYD car. 👍👍👍

I think this depends on the dealer. Some of my colleagues got continental tyres on their BYD. Although they bought the Seal mostly.
Agreed with most of your review except I really don’t like the collision warnings going off at random points for parked cars!
And also the random cars that bursts into flames that BYD is having major problems with at the moment. But no review will tell you this.
@@veryveryexpert4255 can you please point me towards some evidence of absolute numbers? Thanks

Have seen a lot of your videos, eventually subscribed today 😊
Yay! Thank you and welcome aboard!
Can we do home charging from a wall socket?
The tyres squeak, especially on smooth surfaces due the compound they use in the tyres.
I am staying at an Airbnb, just about 50/60 metres away there is a small roundabout/circle. The cars going around are squeaking their tyres. Not going fast at all. Some cars are doing it, but not all.
we need another review on how it perform in wet condition and long distance driving.
Would be nice to see a follow up with after sales and reliability/QC
I know you properly won’t see the comment because the videos have been months ago, but I wonder is the car’s 4g connection comes with any extra charges?
the car is uniique, n very comfortable ,so special for use for small family 😊 for go to park, vacation 🎉 etc
Have you check on the warranty on Msia? Seems there been a lot of issue in country like Australia where BYD change the warranty on the battery and parts suddenly.
How good is charging infra here in msia? Would it be easy for example to travel from kl to kota bahru?? Where to charge?
Lim that is called torque steer, and I am 47 years old this year
Haha! Thanks for the correction! And NOTHING against the age!
@@LimReviews Replied with my NOTHING phone.. thanks for the review too
this is such an impressive EV tho my only concern some says that the infotainment system looks a bit buggy at times
I kinda agree. Especially when getting to the air cond it's a little slow to respond. Entertainment wise I use Apple CarPlay so doesn't really affect much for me.
Really ??? Really surprised. Please do NOT add other apps via APK. It may crash/interfear with BYD ... OS. And you may need to RESET the system in BYD service centres. TESLA also BAN such APP (APK) into their OS. For SAFETY and obvious reasons !!!!!!!
@@sunshinesun121 CarPlay is not an add on app. It's activated by cable.
good review bro.. this is what we would like to know.. practicality . 👍
Any better car than atto 3 !
Interested in EV. However, where i based now (Sarawak), the ecosystem does not allow me to drive BYD roam free. Service? Charging Station (besides at home)... I will just pass lah... Plus the AC look too extreme in design (my personal view)
How about the rust issues that have been reported?
Have a look at the durability warranty BYD are giving for the Atto in Europe... I dont think rust is an issue..
There is not rust "issues" reported, but one car that had rusted in the pulled apart joints (which otherwise does not rust due to being sealed) having sat outside in weather over a extended period. This is something which rusts those particular areas on all cars if this is done to them.

Eh you don't 'jump start' an EV. if the battery's dead, means it is dead. You need to tow it back and charge

Any feedback on car power when climbing to Cameron, Genting etc?

In fact he’s already clocked 10K KM on his BYD and I wanted to interview him for this video but he politely declined because shy 🤭
Many ICE users assumes that EV have same have the same "LOUSY torque " of ICE engines. BOY !!!! ... They should try out BEV ! And NOT Hybrid cars.
I'm more curious on battery consumption, climbing hills vs highway cruising speed ie 120km/h
at 8:00 just get rid of the stock tires next year, they are made for range not grip.
Gotcha!
