BYD Atto 3 review – the new Chinese EV SUV E-Niro rival has arrived. In this episode Jonny Smith gets a first drive of the first ‘Build Your Dreams’ passenger car on sale in the UK, priced from £36,500. Never heard of BYD? Well the chances are your phone battery is made by them, or the electric buses in your local city are made by them.

BYD are the largest manufacturers of Li-ion phosphate battery packs in the world, and they’ve sold 3.5 million cars in native China and Eastern territories already. Because of this the BYD boasts some unusual battery cell tech, as well as highly efficient heat pump and compact packaged drivetrain (which BYD makes all in-house). Should Kia, Hyundai, VW and Stellantis be worried?
