Rumors online that there will be a facelifted BYD Atto 3 released next year sometime.
- hothed on 03/11/2023 - 12:56
  
  That is a very short life cycle for a face lift. Nothing wrong with the look of the current model.

    Exterior is fine. Looks good.
    I think the interior is too polarising for Western tastes, so I suspect the facelift may involve some adjustments there.

        @kamac93: The new Toyota, with its inexplicably bad name is lobbing into Australia in 3 months.
        
        It'll be around $6000 AUD more than the equivalent Tesla Y, so IMHO will be DOA.
        
        npnp on 04/11/2023 - 10:46
        
        @SupeNintendoChalmers: If the Toyota range is higher than Model Y, I'll happily pay Toyota 6K more any day of the week just for the brand name and reliability alone. As a long-term Hybrid driver, I love electrified vehicles but couldn't justify myself buying a new brand (either Tesla or BYD) that hasn't tested time. I drove a Tesla once and loved the experience (no denial there) but would I put my money into it at this moment? probably not (yet). Call me Toyota fanboy I don't mind, that hasn't cost me anything so far (if anything that saved me quite a lot of money) so I'd rather wait till Toyota comes up with a solid competition to Tesla / BYD and then buy that one… (and I love the fact that there's a competition out there which probably push prices further down so it'll be worth the wait). And I'm certain there are a lot of people who think the same…

        Look at the Hyundai Venue as an example, perfectly good entry level SUV, from a blue chip maker. It sells at half the rate of the MG ZS series, despite being similar in size and only slightly more expensive in price.
        
        I'd rather wait till Toyota comes up with a solid competition to Tesla / BYD
        
        Overseas reports indicate that the new Toyota, with that awful name is undercooked, compared to the Model Y (range, performance, packaging), and believe me, I have 0 love for the Chinese made cars or Teslas in general. The interior packaging in a Tesla is white hot garbage, and this is probably the place traditional makers need to focus on to stop the losses.
        
        People are doing it tough, and I cannot fathom a large enough market for the new Toyota- even the Toyota Australia Sales Executive admitted this in a recent issue of Wheels. He expects it to be a niche vehicle.

        It's also not boring. If you showed me pictures of the interiors of a thousand cars, I'd probably be able to identify any that I've owned before, and that's about it. I'd be able to identify the interior of an Atto 3 even if I didn't own one.

  BYD Atto 3 sales have halved since June/July. Last month was the 2nd worst month for sales since it launched.

        October sales are headed back towards where they were. Interested to see if they can maintain it. Those 2000 Uber Atto 3’s will likely be helping them.
        
        petebern on 04/11/2023 - 12:22
        
        @E5TOQUE: What you may find is that the May/June figures were influenced by the removal of the 100% tax offset on July 1. Businesses probably rushed to buy them and have them delivered before June 30 - hence the slow down in July/Aug/Sept.
        These actually make good sense as a Business Car if you have Solar as there is now NO FBT on Electric Vehicles, $3k from Qld Govt and GST claim, means you could be in one for ~ $45k. Also, putting in a charger would be a Business Cost and could encourage new customers?? Also, the ability to share the car via the key/nfc/app would be handy from what I've seen.
        If I'm only getting 12c FIT from the 80kwh excess(3Phase) I have most days, charging people 30/40c a kwh could be profitable - especially on weekends when my business is closed.

I'm always quite amazed at how the Australian market is in terms of trying out new brands. I'm kind of a skeptic type and am always on the safe side, mainly because I want to make sure I'm getting good value for my money, as well as good after sales support, and resell value.

I assume a lot of BYD buyers are also going through the leasing option as well.

      I use motorcycles as the example cause it's probably been unfolding for longer here in Aus. CFMoto is the one that has come close but it's taken so much money, advertising and entering racing to change perception. The stigma lingers but not as bad as it's been in the past.
- hothed on 03/11/2023 - 13:15
  
  I think that would be most EV buyers in general, due to the significant tax breaks from the FBT incentives if you finance the vehicle through salary sacrificing.
- doobey1231 on 06/11/2023 - 08:40
  
  Aussies are pretty skeptical, but they will throw caution to the wind if itll mean a good deal and sometimes they just cannot resist. Then there are the people that are just not interested in cars and assume that any brand thats currently on the road is "good enough" in terms of quality so they give it a try.

EV is way over valued, it's just a big moving battery. The price needs to come down a lot before it hits mainstream.

I was in China a month ago and every place I go it's EV. Even big bus are all EV now. And the reason why it's everywhere is because it's cheap, some only start at $15000 AUD

China is way way ahead in the EV space.

    China did the same thing with solar panels. Japan and Germany used to dominate the manufacturing space back in the early 2000s. The Chinese government then invested huge dollars into the solar industry in China. In 10 years China went from 3% market share to 60%, these days it's over 80%. China seem to be trying to emulate that success with EV's, like what they did with solar by all accounts they have built factories with far greater tech and automation than western facilities.
    Obviously cars are a more difficult space to win over markets than solar panels, brand image barely exists with solar, it means a lot more in the car industry.

      Except, both of these approaches is the government wanting to form a global monopoly. Knowing Australia and our government I doubt we would have anything sensible to thwart this and will just let the "market" organically win. It's kind of difficult if you got a country the size of China that mobilises all industries and dishing out subsidies to win this dominance and indirectly destroy all other competition.

  You're comparing to a country that has large government subsidies, and a market that's 1000's times larger than ours, and not to mention it's manufactured inside their country, this kind of all adds up to a massive contributor to why they can get them that cheaply.
  
  There's no doubt they are ahead of it, I would wager it would significantly help with the amount of pollution from usual emissions.

      This is the feedback I am interested in.
      Since I don't have a car I can't tell how much I will pay for charging it to do a 100 km.
      - lordriffington on 08/11/2023 - 14:42
        
        @SickDmith: My efficiency averages 14.5kWh per 100km (that's over the 10 months I've had the car.) The most I've ever paid for a public charger was 60c/kWh.
        If I somehow charged from 0-100% at the charger, I'd be looking at $36.
        To charge it enough for 100km at the average efficiency, you'd be looking at $8.70.
        For pure highway driving the efficency goes down (number gets bigger. Let's say it's 16kWh/100km, so that'd be $9.60.
        I don't recall off the top of my head if that efficiency number is correct for highway speeds. It's rare that I do enough highway driving for it to have any major impact on my efficiency.
        The way you drive will also have an impact. I drive it on Eco mode the vast majority of the time and am a pretty calm and measured driver. If you're a leadfoot who drives in Sport mode all the time, that'll probably result in reduced efficiency.
        
        Charging mostly at home as I do, it's about $18 to 'fill the tank.' That would be substantially lower if I had access to lower tariffs and practically zero if I had solar.
- cheaptech20 on 03/11/2023 - 14:25

  I don't have solar or a smart meter. I pay a flat rate at any time of day. Charging my EV at home with the adaptor that plugs into the wall socket is convenient and is far cheaper than petrol. The worst you'll ever have to pay (at a public charger for example) will still be about half the equivalent cost of petrol.

  Plug-in hybrids are, in many respects, the worst of both worlds. You lose a lot of the benefits of a pure EV and really only gain freedom from range anxiety, which most of the time you won't even have. Once you drive an EV for a few months and get an idea of what the real-world range is in various conditions (city, highway, uphill, etc.,) range anxiety mostly goes away. It's only long trips that still cause concern, and as long as you're travelling in places with chargers and plan ahead, you should be fine.
  
  Hybrids are a decent compromise for people who can't bring themselves to go straight to an EV, but if you can I'd always recommend skipping the hybrid.

  I asked the question of the North Lakes people(Classified as 'A BYD Experience' but is part of the Eagers group who are making room in their Honda showroom for BYD cars). They have today advised me that the $500 is claimable by a Business. This means that my Qld business cam claim $3500 from Qld Govt and BYD - add that to the GST as an Input Credit and I can get this vehicle for around $43k + on roads. If you're talking Novated Lease, I believe that the Qld Govt excludes them from the rebate but I don't know what other states do. As for the $500, someone in the Novation triangle should be able to claim the subsidy??? In the end, $500 isn't probably going to change the decision on whether to Lease or not, but it wouldn't hurt to ask the question of the Leasing Company.

    I’ve got one on novated lease but sounds like I probably won’t be able to get it. All good though

I had many cars from JDM to Audi BMW Benz in the past and Model X 3 Y as well. I don't like atto3. It's not a bad car but quite different compared other cars from design to service.

You better test drive to feel it if you consider buying. End of the day, car is a very personal thing
