BYD ATTO 3 Cat A Review - Best Value EV in Singapore!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- With record high COE prices, the Cat A BYD ATTO 3 is one of the best value EVs in Singapore at SG$174,888 (as of June 2023). It has a range of 420km (WLTP), and can charge from 20-80% in as little as 42 minutes on DC Fast Chargers (up to 80kW). I share what makes the Cat A version different from the original Cat B version, the upgrades that BYD has made (BYD app is a significant quality of life improvement for owners), and my final verdict on who this car is for.

Disclosure: I am long TSLA. This is not a paid sponsorship. BYD allowed me to test drive the Cat A BYD ATTO 3 for a few days. - Авто та транспорт
Great review. I heard from so many BYD owners that this car is their best purchase ever. Worth every penny and exceeds their expectation. Like you said, BYD is the Toyota of the EV world.
BYD is the one of my favorite Chinese EV factory
Cause their car not fancy only
It’s really practical for a daily car!
Please wait for the Dolphin also
It’s really cool and a good car 👍🏻
I wouldn't say that BYD's cars are fancy unless you were talking about the Han or beyond its class, but practical, for sure, they aim for the middle-class or below, so practicality is the priority.
Seagull is better and cheaper than dolphin
@@ivybae9906 Yes, but they're not same size and level. Also the Seagull doesn't have any news to build RHD.
Great! Looking forward to getting one BYD in the future!
Have an Atto 3 in Australia and love it. Great in the mountains too.
I was thinking the other day if BYD or Tesla come out with a CatA version, I would buy it for my next car.
Great review, very informative. Thinking of trading in my fuel-powered SUV for this, especially since the COE is now dropping too. The only bummer for me is the interior design, don’t really fancy the guitar strings and barbell aircon vents. A bit too quirky for me. But everything else seems great especially the brake and accelerator combo which make transition easier for non-EV owners.
Happy Father's Day Daren! I don't know if it is celebrated in Singapore but you're a great day so I wanted to extend holiday greeting to you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the wishes, D R-K! Yes, same day of celebration in Singapore.
portrait mode navigation allows you to see so much more ahead of your trip
Fair!
How does the car connect to the app for remote control? 4G to cloud server?
Sorry abit new to ev cars but I’m thinking should I change my vezel 2020( facelift model) to this EV
Any idea which car has bigger space?
Also can I check, once you start charging, will it lock in place till you finish charging? What if someone want to disturb and unplug it halfway?
Cheers
Hi Daren hop you can help how long is the timing for a charge and how much is for each changing?
For navigating in Singapore, I found that BREEZE is a good app to use. It has prices for the nearest car park to the destination as well. The navigation voice is in our local accent too. 😀
Thanks for the tip!
So will the Singapore version using Singlish say "Halo, slow down leh.…wah pian don't you open door behind one motor coming…see liao, battery boliao quick go charging…
@@naturetruth5218 hopefully they will have a version like that. It will really be closer to our hearts. 😉
02:17 no it has a lithium iron-phosphate battery so not prone to the fires with lithium ion batteries. Quite a big safety difference in my opinion. Fyi. Laurie NZ. 😊
I see the screen glaring brightly into your face (16:53) as you enter the dark carpark.. is that an issue with visibility outside? Is there no auto dark-mode?
Hi Darren, great video, may I ask where did you get your phone car mount? Thanks
Thanks! Got this Magsafe Car Mount from Cygnett for around $50: www.cygnett.com/products/maghold-car-holder-window
where do you look for to rent the EVs?
I test drove this car when I read BYD beat Tesla in EV sales. Ended up booking one. Just got my COE. Looking forward to collecting the car soon.
Congrats Philip! 🎉 The BYD ATTO 3 is a solid car. Is this your 1st EV?
Hi Daren. I was considering the IONIQ5 or i4. Although I ended one number lower with the Atto 3, I was amazed how the company could build a car with so many features at that price. The BYD’s better suspension and safer battery were top considerations in the final decision. Like that it has the 360 view camera and App as my Beemer. Btw, our car will sport the same white as your review which I enjoyed. Looking forward to your next review. Take care!
Hi Philip, may I ask what's your view after driving for a few months?
looking forward to your Dolphin review bro!
Hopefully soon! 🤞🏼
To be exact, the white tower is Swissotel, cos the shopping centre is actually the lower block which you cannot see.
You’re right!
Very informative. How long do you think the BYD battery will last compared to KIA and Tesla? How much is insurance premium for this Cat A Atto 3?
Friends in China who own BYD cars say it’s comparable to Tesla. I find both BYD and Tesla have the best reputation and track record on battery longevity and reliability so far.
Tesla buys all their batteries from BYD, so there's your answer.
Good the right side BYD driving version can deliver to HK,Macau, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
Hello, what brand is the mag mount you use? Txs
It’s from Cygnett ($90): www.cygnett.com/products/maghold-magnetic-car-wireless-charger-gen-ii-window
Hi folks and Daren, are there wireless carplay aftermarket fitting for this?
Yes, there are aftermarket Wireless CarPlay adapters. Example: www.ottocast.com/collections/android-auto-carplay-wireless/products/u2-air-pro?_gl=1*e2xlc0*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiA0PuuBhBsEiwAS7fsNeOY87rQPvsODpuc5Vm_yEM2Q-k7sNwVaTYydt5AR90Pnrmpis07FRoCu7UQAvD_BwE
Nice ev.
Hi. What app did you use?
BYD app
why this model doesn't have Rain Sensing Wipers??
Can the back seats be folded down to create more spaces?
Yes, you can fold down the back seats to increase the storage space from 440L to 1,338L.
How much would it cost to charge with the carpark included? Think this is the turnoff part getting an ev.
Gotta pay for the charging fees + the expensive city parking rates. Totally don't make any sense...😅
is it ok to stay in the car with AC on when charging?
Yes, have done it many times! That’s one of the perks of EVs.
have you tried the BYD Dolphin?.. im planning on getting it to replace my aging prius..Dolphin only cost 140k
Yes, my review of BYD Dolphin here: ua-cam.com/video/Cnog447c0xI/v-deo.html
Would strongly recommend the BYD ATTO 3 instead of the Dolphin. The price difference is less than $10k for a much better car (more passenger/storage space & more range).
@@DarenYoong dont really like the csuv platform though.. Was never into the high sitting position
Is Stage 1 available? 😄
Is their a special COE category for EVs which is lower priced than COEs for ICE vehicles to encourage more EV adoption in Singapore?
Not yet unfortunately. The government does offer tax rebates for EVs. www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/electric-vehicle-rebates-ev-adoption-incentive-arf-vehicular-emissions-nea-lta-3787921#:~:text=The%20rebate%20is%20currently%20capped,on%20Thursday%20(Sep%2021).
How much is that byd is that cost $174 000 singapore dollars really that much
Do not charge an Atto3 at 11kW stations because it will only take 3+kW as it is only 16amps single phase. Try to find 7kW or 22kW stations only which charges the atto on 32amps
Good point!
what is the diff?
@@petrushka2 atto 3 uses a single phase onboard charger. On 16amps it charges at 3+ kW, on 32amps it charges at 6.6kW.
Now, an 11kW charger runs on 16amps over 3 phases. But since Atto 3 can only receive input from 1 of the 3 phases, thus it only can take in 3+ kW of charging power
Question will be how does Atto3 compares with Ioniq5. Will be keen to see a comparison video! Cheers to your good work.
Both are good EV options below S$200k in Singapore, with different pros and cons:
- Range: BYD ATTO 3 has 420km WLTP (380km real-world) vs Hyundai IONIQ 5 384km WLTP (340km real-world)
- Space: IONIQ 5 is a larger and more spacious SUV for passengers and cargo
- App Support: BYD has a good app (many Hyundai/KIA owners in our region are still waiting for app support)
- Design: IONIQ 5 looks more futuristic, and the interior is less divisive compared to BYD ATTO 3
I believe BYD Blade battery is a plus point too.
support
Sodium-ion battery:
Charging - 15 minutes. 2000 times
Range - 120 km, 240 km
the price is right? it is 7 times high!
Is this a wired apple CarPlay?😊
Yes, wired Apple CarPlay!
@@DarenYoong thank you!
How about porthole? Singapore road very terrible. You sure no problem?
hey man, you invested in tesla not BYD ok. lol!
🤣
Comfortable ride.
my Model S Plaid 2023 with 21 Arachnid Rims, Deep Blue Color and Cream interior is coming this Friday for delivery. Can't wait.
Atto 3 or Model Y? 🤭🤭🤭
BYD Atto 3 has no ARF.. after Battery warranty over, what will be the resale value then?
Unlike Tesla, More expensive… but high ARF… there should be better resale value after battery warranty is over…
We’ll be getting a Model Y with Hardware 4.0 in the future. For anyone with a budget above $200k, Model Y is my recommendation (Autopilot, safest car on Earth, Tesla charging network, regular software updates, best in class passenger & cargo space). Below $200k, I believe BYD ATTO 3 is very compelling.
Is that the White colour?
Yes, it’s their Ski White color. There are 5 colors available in Singapore: val-byd.com.sg/byd-atto-3/?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpc-oBhCGARIsAH6ote9IZqnRO3xhyD5k8B0CEAUpbOprhZHpKemSPj2fY_X1jelrRIDxorgaAmcLEALw_wcB
LOL - It is good to test drive other EVs and see what they are up to. It will be interesting to see what the market will be in a few years when Tesla sells in the 25k +- market. I see Tesla working with BYD rather than crushing it because that is not the mission. “Crush competition to transition into sustainable energy” :)
you charge EVs in CBD the parking fee is costing more than the electricity charging fee bro.
True! Parking in some places can be a lot. If you're already going to an office or neighbourhood mall anyway for your own reasons (not just for EV charging), then it won't be an incremental cost.
15:00 New hybrid cars are still allowed after 2030
Yes! Only pure ICE cars banned then.
Ive tested the car. For some reason, it’s very jerky until the eco mode is turned on which minimizes it. I’ve heard others have this feedback too. The salesperson say it’s normal due to EV high torque. Do test drive before you consider buying.
your foot cant control the car in sport i guess. I also couldnt in the first month, until i found eco "too slow". Now i always drive on sport, and can handle smooth roll off
Yes, it’s more sensitive and requires feathering to reduce the jerkiness.
@@DarenYoong feathering ? 😅 and maybe some TLC too ? 😁
If someone has only been drving ICE cars before driving an EV, then it is quite normal to find EVs are too jerky because of the high torque compared to ICE cars. But after driving for a month or so, you'll find it to be smooth as you would have adjusted to the new feel.
@@HTeo-og1lg that’s what I thought too. But i tested the Tesla Model Y and BMW IX soon after, don’t feel that at all. Maybe the BYD I tested wasn’t at tiptop condition or setup properly
Me casually converting 175k Singaporean dollars to Euro and realize it’s still a 118k euro car that is like the price of a Tesla model S plaid here
Yes, prices in Singapore are insane!
@@DarenYoong you had me when you said “finally a car for the masses” 😂
I don't like the interior too. Muscle, dumbbell, guitar string are too fancy
1 BYD Atto in SG = 4 BYD Atto in TH
True! Singapore has by far the world’s most expensive cars.
Behold! BYD Seal is coming to SG!
Looking forward to it!
新加坡买车真的是好贵。。。174888新加坡元，都要人民币94万了。😮💨
You can buy from Temo😂
where is your TESLA T-shirt?
How much $$ did BYD give u to make all these pro-byd videos?
I gave your mom more money so not a lot 😂
Nice BYD but still... TTTM!
Electric Vehicles are Good for Public Transportations but it’ll never be as ROBUST as HYBRID Vehicles which provides the Best of both worlds for private owner usage!
What a joke, S$175k😂
In Singapore, this is considered affordable. A Model 3 RWD would be around SG$220k, and a Model Y RWD would be around SG$250k. Singapore has by far the most expensive cars in the world due to high government taxes.
@@DarenYoongholy crap bro, I can buy a nice house with that money in my country
I will never by a Chinese car
Can you also show the frunk. What is presently in the front of the car? Please show this also.
There is no usable frunk unfortunately. It’s the motor (BYD ATTO 3 is Front Wheel Drive), cooling system and other parts.
