BYD Atto 3 is voted ‘‘VAB Electric Family Car of the Year 2023’’. The jurors – 15 professional motoring reporters and 74 family jurors that judged 10 different electric cars at famous Zolder race circuit for 3 days – favored BYD Atto 3 EV over 9 competitors from Volkswagen, Renault, Citroen, Nissan, CUPRA, MG, Aiways, Seres and SsangYong.
VAB is the Flemish Automobile Club, and it organizes a coveted contest every year of the best family cars in different categories. The jurors chose BYD Atto 3 not only for its design, comfort, quality and practicality, but also awarded points for the high level of warranty cover, low costs per kilometer, spacious interior space, high level of standard features and its state-of-the-art technology features.
VAB Editor in Chief Jan Creten explains: “We have organized this contest for more than 30 years. We test cars and judge each vehicle on comfort, infotainment, safety features, accessories, budget and off course practicality, technology and drivability. This year the cars were judged by the professional car media (30% of the total figure), customers and families (50%) and also costs per kilometer for each vehicle. This important last element contributes for 20% of the total figure.”
