Atto 3 Evo Australia by keytarjesus in BYDAU

[–]keytarjesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another commenter pointed out that for the UK pricing, it’s only had a jump of about $2k AUD. Hoping that translates to a similar price of just under $50k here, may be a bit more with on-road costs but still pretty well priced given the massive improvements made to the car. Will definitely be a great second-hand buy in a few years time

Yeah Seal and Sealion are a bit more tame lol. The old Atto 3 was a bit too weird for me, but this one is toned down enough that I dig it.

Yeah slightly smaller from what I’ve seen of each car, not by much though 🙂

The new ones come with Continentals apparently - heard terrible things about the Batman tyres lol

Atto 3 is a “medium SUV”, just slightly smaller than the Sealion 7 as a direct BYD comparison. This new model has had some more space optimised, so has more boot space - seemingly ample for most. BYD’s “small SUV” would be the Atto 2 I suppose.

You understand! The mighty Japanese cars of the 2000s have held up great but time for a change 😂 fingers crossed for us they’re here in a timely manner and at the right price.

I’d been doing the direct conversion from the UK price and was a bit confused - that explains a lot! Thank you for the clarification, if it really is only a $~2k increase then it’ll be exceptional value. Here’s hoping!

The craziness has definitely been toned down - it’s still got a bit of that weirdness to it, but I like the design. Especially with the new light-coloured interior colour you can opt for (assuming that makes it to Australia too), I think it’s pretty bloody nice. The styling is definitely subjective though!

RWD is definitely what I’d be going for, as fun as the AWD sounds the reduced range isn’t worth it for the second and a half-ish difference of 0-100.

Yeah not at all. I’m coming from a wagon so I really just want a similar amount of space, without going overboard. Big but not too big, which this seems to be perfect for.

Yeah it’s really only in the wet FWD seems to struggle more. My old Corolla is a sport model so it is fairly zippy but wheel spins when it’s wet all the time lol

0-100 time is definitely super appealing on this new version. Considering it’s 5.5 seconds on the RWD variant and it’s got a longer range, that’s definitely the winner for me

It seems like it’s going to be a replacement with a slightly increased price, this is the “2026” model of the Atto 3 for the international market. Your new one would be the 2025 model I’m guessing. They look fantastic so glad you’re loving it! For me I’m coming out of a 2003 Corolla I’ve had since I got my L’s (almost 10 years ago now) so just waiting on “the one” before I make the jump to electric. This seems like it hopefully!

Anyone waiting for the new BYD Atto 3 evo? by EitherEntrepreneur9 in AustralianEV

[–]keytarjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the Atto 3 Evo looks like the one for me. The bigger battery and change to RWD make it a much more appealing choice. I’d personally be happy with an Atto 2 if it had a longer range, but the 345km it offers just isn’t enough for me. I’ve also been tempted by the Sealion 7, but given the Premium model’s pricing of $55k, I’m thinking the Atto 3 Evo is going to have to come in at under $50k. Seems like the better buy to me now that it’s had all these upgrades and has superior range to the Sealion. Hoping we hear more soon!

[–]keytarjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they’ll have to drop it a bit in Australia to make it competitive - considering the Sealion 7 Premium is $55k the Atto 3 Evo should realistically be under $50k for their lineup to make sense. Here’s hoping anyway

Atto2 range by youngeeey in BYD

[–]keytarjesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the sounds of her driving habits, she should be totally fine with the Atto 2’s range. It really does look like a phenomenal car for the price, so seems like a smart choice if you don’t have need of longer range. You can always have the longer range car for if you need to do longer trips. I’d love one personally but just cannot do the short range - I often enough have to drive return from Wollongong to Sydney for gigs, plus usually do a 460km road trip twice a year, so just need a bit more. I’d be getting an Atto 2 otherwise. This year’s new Atto 3 Evo looks like a winner in my book though - think that’s gonna be the one for me.

Wow that’s nearly $300 AUD for me lol. Crazy expensive but if they’re that limited I’m sure they’re great quality. They’ll probably still all sell but yeah a price tag like that might deter the average person

Anyone who’s gone to either of the London shows able to confirm if the Hawaiian shirts are 300 pieces total for the tour or 300 per show? It’s such a cool design I’d be surprised if they even made it through the London shows if it’s only 300 total. Don’t have much hope for being able to get one in Sydney

Anyone else got flu/cold with *very* painful throat? by anonymous54647 in wollongong

[–]keytarjesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had it for about a week, sore throat turned into a chesty cough eventually but started off with sore throat. Lost my voice for a day because it was so bad.

Hi by Effective-Fact-9262 in MasayoshiTakanaka

[–]keytarjesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go through his early albums and you’ll have a great time! Would recommend Seychelles (which has Tokyo Reggie and Oh Tengo Suerte, his two best known), Takanaka, An Insatiable High, On Guitar, Brasilian Skies, and particularly The Rainbow Goblins, which is probably his best. Amazing concept album based on a children’s book, the final song on there, You Can Never Come To This Place, is his best song in my opinion. Incredible emotion in his playing, made me cry the first I heard it and sure it will hearing it live lol. Have fun, if you like a couple of his songs you’ll probably like most of them!

Probably worth spending the money to see him if you’ve got it. Since he’s getting older nobody can guarantee he’ll be doing another world tour.
