CarExpert's Take
James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Still looks sharp
- No price rises with more spec
- Impressive open road refinement
Misses
- DCT still clumsy off the line
- No hybrid option for Australia
- Back seat is a little cosy

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
Solid White is standard on all bar the R.S. Line, with the following finishes a $750 option:
- Universal White
- Zanzibar Blue
- Metallic Black
- Metallic Grey
- Flame Red
- Valencia Orange (R.S. Line only)
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.
