Boring, Yawning Doppelganger

 Electric SUVs.  They do tend to look alike.  Here's the BYD Atto 3:

Does look very much like the rest doesn't it?

Especially from the side - the rear has an interesting twist that nobody seems to like:
According to the rear of the car, BYD stands for "Build Your Dreams" - seems quite naff.

To me, BYD is the Welsh word for "World" so this is a World Car.  Just not as good as a Mondeo.

But to Auto Express, that slogan is the only thing that Steve Fowler of Auto Express and his family really have against the car.

Similarly, and I hate to admit to having been impressed myself, but Jonny Smith of The Late Brake Show was also quite impressed.

Apart from that slogan of course.

It is an excellently detailed review that Jonny does and I have to say I was almost won over by this boring SUV - although maybe the funky interior goes too far in the un-boring direction - too interesting perhaps?

Meanwhile, the Germans don't want to be outdone by The Chinese (BYD are Chinese) so have added something funky to their boring VW ID. 2all concept car which is electric and looks like a compact SUV (I can't tell if it is one or not from the photo)

As Hagerty report, they will have retro-style instruments:
Very Whimsical.
