BYD ATTO 3 (2023-2026) vs Skoda Enyaq

The Skoda Enyaq costs £2,020 more than the BYD ATTO 3. For that premium it adds 77 kW faster peak rapid charging and 145 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Enyaq comes out ahead overall.

The BYD ATTO 3 is £2,020 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the BYD ATTO 3 comes out roughly £2,020 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 213 miles for the BYD ATTO 3 and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 35 minutes in the BYD ATTO 3 and 24 in the Skoda Enyaq, so the Skoda Enyaq loses less time at each stop.

The two are within 4 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 525 mm of total clearance for the BYD ATTO 3 and about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 92% battery health for the BYD ATTO 3 and 84% for the Skoda Enyaq. That gives the BYD ATTO 3 a modest edge in retained real-world range. The BYD ATTO 3's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Skoda Enyaq's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
