PHOTO: sgCarMartAlmost as quickly as you can say 'Build Your Dreams' in full, the brand has zipped up the bestselling charts in Singapore, superseding legacy carmakers as well as its American arch-rival in its bid to be the first name you think of when it comes to electric cars.

Secondly, come round to the rear and you'll notice less badging struck across its tailgate. Instead of 'BUILD YOUR DREAMS' being spelled out in full across its tailgate, the car now gets a much simpler 'BYD' instead. The Atto 3's previous 12.8-inch unit wasn't anything to scoff at to begin with — but the extra glitz provided by the new unit now makes the older dashboard look like something was missing.

Indeed, there's something new to take in everywhere you look: Whether it's the dash, the four door-mounted speakers with the door handles curved over them, or even the guzheng strings stretched across the door bins. The gear shifter — shaped in the form of an airplane thrust lever — remains one of our favourite parts of the cabin.

As we've already experienced, keener drivers will need to put the Atto 3 into either Normal or Sport mode to wring some sprightliness out of it. Coupled with its silent and gear-less drivetrain, the Atto 3 boasts the same air of ease — enhanced slightly now — whether it's on smaller roads or on the highway, where its well-insulated cabin shines through.
