After a false start with a VW ID Buzz, Sam Wigglesworth provided great counsel and pivoted my order to a deal on a VW Golf R. I took delivery of the car in less than two weeks from confirming my choice. Great service.

You might not have heard of BYD until now, but the Chinese brand is a big deal in the world of electrified transport. And I mean big. As in the world’s biggest maker of electric and plug-in hybrid passenger cars, as well as electric trains, buses and trucks.
It’s been building PHEVs since 2008 and has been putting out EVs since 2010. Until recently, however, its success has all been in markets outwith Europe — it’s particularly big in China and Israel. In 2021 it launched in EV-loving Norway, and now it’s coming to the UK with the Atto 3.
A mid-sized family SUV, the Atto 3 is being positioned against some mainstream heavyweights, so we’re looking to see if this newcomer can measure up to the segment’s established stand-outs.
