BYD Atto3 vs Omoda E5 vs MG4 - which is best?

With the continued expansion of Chinese EVs arriving on NZ soil, we thought it was high time we tested them out. The award-winning BYD Atto3 arguably paved the way, the MG4 has a cabinet full of awards too, and then there's the newbie Omoda E5. All have similar credentials, but which one is best?

Thanks for the review! You really nailed on the top 3 Affordable EV and I can't really find any good comparison between the three except for your channel. Kudos to you!

[@TarmacLife]

Thanks, really appreciate the comments and support - It's something we are looking to do more of.

[@rowey7522]

Guys the cruise control on the MG is the steering wheel button right above the left star. One press. Easy.

[@TarmacLife]

Thanks for watching and comments. Yep we get it now, we're just pointing out that the steering wheel icon is not as obvious as the others.

[@fixxundfertig]

Great video. Comparisons of the Atto and MG4 are hard to come by due to being different builds and (previously) price points. Have driven the Atto and MG4 and found they felt very different. I looking forward to the Omoda E5 being available in Australia.

[@TarmacLife]

Thanks for watching and great feedback. We enjoyed making the test. You should definitely check out the Omoda. I think it's Chery in Aus.

Glad i waited. I am looking forward to test drive Neta X ~

[@TarmacLife]

We don't have the Neta brand here yet - but looks interesting

I trust bys's battery,if you old enough to know Nokia, byd already was the battery supplier at the time Nokia dominate the mobile phone industry

[@TarmacLife]

Yeah, the blade battery is clever tech.

[@sheldonhumphries9492]

Good thing the E5 uses blade battery technology.

[@JTAN10ABLE]

Yeah I heard the OMODA also uses the same Blade battery

Several Aussie TH-cam channel hosts have been invited to visit the factories of Geely and Zeekr, traveling in business class and staying in 5-star luxury hotels. Keep up the good work, and your turn will come.

[@TarmacLife]

We can only hope. Thanks for watching and comments
