BYD Reviews

BYD has made a big impact in a small amount of time in the Australian market. The Chinese 'new energy vehicle' brand has sold plenty of its sharply priced Atto 3 SUV and introduced the most affordable EV, the Dolphin hatch.Now comes the Seal, the brand's direct rival to the Tesla Model 3. We test this new electric sedan to see how it measures up.

Why the new cheapest electric car in Australia feels anything but.

Having your car brand called 'Build Your Dreams' was always going to be a hard one to live up to but BYD has managed to defy a lot of expectations with the Atto 3. Especially by giving it a longer driving range (hurrah) and sharp price tag but are those two factors enough to satisfy a hardened Aussie market that loves its fuel-based vehicles? Time will tell.

There's some real momentum behind BYD's arrival in Australia, but is the Chinese automaker's first car in our market more than just a cheap electric car?

There have been other reviews of the BYD Atto 3, but those have been of left-hand drive cars or preproduction models - this one is of the Australian version of the car - the one that you'll buy.
