Why lease the BYD Atto 3?
The Atto 3 stands out with its quirky interior design and clever features. The star of the show is the 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen that can switch between portrait and landscape modes. Under the surface, there's plenty of substance to match the style – the innovative Blade Battery technology delivers that solid 261-mile range while charging from 30-80% takes just 30 minutes at rapid charging speeds.
Performance is impressive too, with the 201bhp electric motor delivering punchy acceleration that'll get you from 0-60mph in just 7.3 seconds. Yet it's not all about speed – the Atto 3 is practical through and through, with its spacious interior, 555-litre boot, and handy Vehicle-to-Load feature that lets you power external devices from your car.
Why choose car leasing?
Leasing puts you in the driving seat of a new electric car like the Atto 3 without the long-term commitment of ownership. You'll make fixed monthly payments over an agreed term, typically 2-4 years, and simply hand the car back at the end. There's no worry about depreciation or selling the car on – just drive and enjoy.
Business users will find the Atto 3 particularly appealing for leasing. As a fully electric vehicle, it attracts a minimal 2% Benefit in Kind rate, and business lease customers can reclaim 50% of the VAT on their monthly payments. Plus, with the Atto 3's zero emissions, you'll save significantly on running costs compared to petrol or diesel alternatives.
Who does a BYD Atto 3 lease suit?
The Atto 3 is perfect for families and professionals who want a practical electric SUV with standout tech features. It'll suit you if you're after something different from the usual suspects, with enough range for family life. The quick charging and impressive range make it ideal for both city commuting and longer trips.
If you like the idea of a BYD but need something different, the BYD Seal offers a more luxurious saloon experience. Looking at alternatives from other manufacturers? The Kia Niro offers similar practicality, while the Volkswagen ID.4 provides a more conventional SUV experience with proven German engineering.
