One of BYD's most popular models in Australia, the Atto 3 is a practical small SUV at an accessible price. It uses BYD's Blade LFP battery for better safety and long-term longevity, includes V2L capability to power appliances from the car, and comes loaded with technology usually found in pricier vehicles. The quirky interior — guitar-string-inspired trim, stretchy fabric door pockets — divides opinion but makes it memorable.
Key differentiator
Blade LFP battery chemistry for long-term cell health, V2L standard, and one of the most feature-rich small SUVs under $50,000.
Who is this for?
First-time EV buyers wanting a practical small SUV with V2L capability and a strong safety rating at a sub-$50K price.
Only the Extended Range variant is sold in Australia, with 480km WLTP range from a 60.5kWh battery. DC charging tops out at 80kW, which means longer stops at fast chargers (around 45 minutes for 10–80%). It's well-suited to suburban driving and occasional regional trips; buyers doing frequent long highway runs may find the slower charging frustrating.
