Category scores

These are our own numbers, not the manufacturer’s stars. The scale runs from 0 to 100, higher is better, and every figure carries a source with a reference date. Which category weighs more for you is something you know better than we do. How these scores work.

  • Fuel economy 70/100
    Fuel economy: 70 of 100. Source and reference date source: WLTP 16,0 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure) + aggregated owner reports from public forums, indicative · reference date 2026-05-18
  • Sustainability 72/100
    Sustainability: 72 of 100. Source and reference date source: LFP Blade chemistry + WLTP consumption + BYD battery warranty (8 yr/160.000 km, 70% capacity) + LCA indication ICCT 2024 · reference date 2026-05-18
  • Practicality 66/100
    Practicality: 66 of 100. Source and reference date source: Boot 440 l + towing weight 750 kg, vs compact EV SUV (manufacturer figure, indicative) · reference date 2026-05-18
  • Reliability not yet rated
    Reliability: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Too short on the EU market for a representative ADAC breakdown statistics; service network still being built up · reference date 2026-05-18
  • Value retention not yet rated
    Value retention: insufficient data. Why no score? source: Insufficient stable residual-value data; BYD brand still only briefly in EU, price changes distort the curve · reference date 2026-05-18

Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (88 kW) ~ 47
At a 150 kW charger ~ 47
At a 50 kW charger ~ 82
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the BYD Atto 3 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 37,990 (reference date 2026-05-18). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the BYD Atto 3?

420 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How much can the BYD Atto 3 tow?

750 kg braked (with trailer brakes) — the figure that applies when your trailer (such as a caravan) has its own brakes. Manufacturer figure; the exact, binding limit for a specific car is on its registration document.

How long does fast-charging the BYD Atto 3 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 47 minutes on a 88 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the BYD Atto 3?

60.5 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the BYD Atto 3 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 16 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the BYD Atto 3 have?

440 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

About the BYD Atto 3 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Atto 3 is the first BYD model that came to the EU market in significant volumes (2022). It sits on the e-Platform 3.0 with the LFP Blade battery pack (lithium iron phosphate) integrated into the floor, BYD's own design and patent. Capacity is around 60.5 kWh usable, WLTP range about 420 km, power 204 hp on the front axle (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging is to around 88 kW, modest by current standards. The boot takes 440 l, braked towing weight is 750 kg.

In practice

Owner forums report real-world consumption around 17 to 19 kWh/100km in mixed use, somewhat higher in winter and on the motorway (not measured by us, varying sample). The LFP chemistry has different properties from NMC: charging to 100 percent is permitted more often, but cold-weather performance and DC charging speed below 0 degrees Celsius are lower without preconditioning. The indicative list price stands at 37,990 euro for the Comfort entry version, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.

Points to note

The infotainment uses a rotating central screen, opinions in owner reports vary, especially the menu structure for vehicle settings. Software updates came more slowly in earlier model years than at established brands; the BYD service network in EU markets is still being built up, check the nearest service point at the official dealer. The model has been on the market too short for an extensive ADAC failure statistic.
