How to Choose Toyota bZ3X, AION V, BYD ATTO 2?

Toyota bZ3X

For family car owners who value brand, resale value, and "Japanese feel," the bZ3X is a good choice. It is especially suitable for owners who switch from traditional gasoline Toyota/Japanese cars to electric SUVs, as they can retain the familiar brand, after-sales network, and relatively conservative but reliable technology. In addition, the interior is more "Japanese exquisite" in terms of materials, details, and audio, making it easier for family car owners who do not want to be "scared" by too many complex functions to adapt. However, the bZ3X is a collaboration with the mainland Chinese car manufacturer AION, so it is quite similar to the AION V, which may cause more concerns for potential buyers.

AION V

Although it is a sister model to the Toyota bZ3X, the AION V's selling points are its practicality and features, such as providing a long range of 602 km, and having Comfort, Sport, and Eco driving modes, and even the braking and steering wheel can be adjusted in two stages, offering many possibilities. In addition, the AION V's interior features are very complete, with a cool/warm storage box inside the armrest that can be freely adjusted from -15 degrees to 50 degrees, which is convenient for chilling or warming drinks. Overall, the AION V is very suitable for users who like to pursue high technology and multi-functions, but the brand effect, second-hand value, and durability may be potential concerns.

BYD ATTO 2

From the price alone, the ATTO 2 is the lowest of the three cars this time, with the "One-for-One" price only being $155,000, which is obviously aimed at practical users in Hong Kong with a limited budget who primarily use the car for daily urban driving. Therefore, even if the ATTO 2 is smaller in size and has a smaller battery capacity resulting in a not particularly outstanding range, it provides all the necessary smart functions, and the interface and equipment design are more practical, which is more than enough for daily urban use, while parking and navigating narrow roads are also easier.
