FINAL REPORT
Atto 3’s motorway ride was superb, but Chris spent a lot of time charging
It may not be perfect, but this electric SUV still impressed in several ways, notably for its comfort
DESPITE HAVING FRIENDS of a nautical persuasion, I have never taken the plunge (as it were) into proper boat ownership. I feel like I’ve had an enjoyable taste of the marine life, though, during my time with the BYD Atto 3.
It turned the M25 – on which the Atto 3 and I spent an awful lot of time together – into an expanse of calm, placid water. On those rare occasions that I managed to gather speed, it was unfazed by the road’s many concrete ripples, and even potholes felt no more harsh than when a yacht’s centreboard gently touches the bottom while exploring a shallow estuary.
