Three compact electric SUVs. Three completely different strategies.

In this detailed comparison, the Škoda Elroq, new BYD ATTO 3 EVO and latest Kia EV3 go head-to-head to find out which one is the strongest compact electric SUV going into twenty twenty-seven.

The Škoda Elroq offers one of the broadest powertrain ranges in the segment, including rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and the performance-focused RS, with up to approximately five hundred and seventy-six kilometres WLTP and towing capacity of up to one thousand eight hundred kilograms.

The completely transformed BYD ATTO 3 EVO brings eight-hundred-volt architecture, LFP Blade Battery technology, Cell-to-Body construction, charging at up to two hundred and twenty kilowatts and as much as four hundred and forty-nine horsepower in Excellence AWD form.

The Kia EV3 counters with class-leading efficiency and up to approximately six hundred and five kilometres WLTP from its Long Range version, plus optional twenty-two-kilowatt AC charging, new all-wheel-drive variants and the EV3 GT.

We compare powertrains, batteries, range, charging speed, acceleration, towing capability, boot and frunk capacity, dimensions, suspension, infotainment, driver assistance, warranties and German pricing.

Which one gives you the best overall package for the money?

Watch until the end for the final verdict.

BYD Atto 3 evo price high in Europe because super high tarriff. Remember this tarriff is borned by consumer and tax money is collected by EU local government, not BYD making huge profit by selling high price. In Asia countries except China, the BYD Atto 3 premium (aka evo in Europe) is selling €30,000 including tarriff. The same Atto 3 evo/premium price different is €15,000.

In China the BYD Yuan Plus (overseas call Atto 3) the most expensive variant is only cost €20,000.

Here in UK you can now buy the Evo 3 rwd design for £26500. Way cheaper than the other 2 cars here for same spec. The Elroq was £12k more. It was an easy choice in the end, what with the 8 yr motor, motor controller and battery warranty. I've got 0-62 mph in 5.1 sec using the built in timer.

On paper, the Kia is good, but in practice, little issues make you question the sense of buying it. Sure, it can be efficient (sometimes). I’ve driven them all, and in my opinion, the ranking is as follows:
1. Škoda.
2. BYD and Kia (tied).
Edit:
The BYD is quite efficient up to about 75 mph. Above that speed (where I live, higher speeds are allowed), efficiency drops more sharply than for competitors—reaching as high as 19 kWh per 100 miles.

Would never consider a car with an NMC battery, so Elroq and EV3 straight off my list. Pity, as they are both actually great cars.

I think Skoda Elroq is my choice, it is a bigger and has more space inside, it looks more like "normal" car.

El BYD Atto 3 ideal sería con más de + 700 kilómetros de Autonomía de batería 🪫 LFP en lugar de +-500 kilómetros con un consumo de 14-17 kilowatios /hora … aunque el consumo ha mejorado programada mente a menos de -20 kilowatios / hora .
