CarExpert's Take
Scott Collie
Contributor
Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Spacious, polished interior
- Smoother, more refined drive
- Space-saver spare rare in this segment
Misses
- Expensive relative to base Kona Electric...
- ...and crosses into Ioniq 5 price territory
- 100kW DC fast-charging isn't great

Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Could be the perfect ‘first EV’
- Much better Continental tyres
- Loaded with standard equipment
Misses
- Interior is a bit quirky
- Best colours axed in favour of black
- Warranty has lots of caveats
Colours Available
Currently Australian-delivered BYD ATTO 3s are available in white by default with a $700 option to upgrade to Grey or Blue.
Red and Green are available in other markets and may find themselves here in the future.
