The BYD ATTO 3 was selected for this prestigious award following a rigorous evaluation process by the expert panel of automotive journalists from The Sun, The Sunday Times, Driving.co.uk and The Times Luxx magazine at News UK. The panel evaluated numerous electric vehicles across various criteria, including performance, design, innovation, safety, and environmental impact. The BYD ATTO 3 impressed the judges on all fronts, emerging as the clear winner.

"Starting at just over £37,000 this zippy and smart-looking EV gives Tesla’s £44,990 Model Y a run for its money. It’s well equipped too: big glass roof, eight-speaker sound system and room in the back for three adults (or two burly blokes)." Said Nick Rufford, Motoring Editor, The Sunday Times.
