BYD ETP3: Which Version Should You Buy?
The BYD ETP3 catalogue contains one generation and one version, so the buying decision is straightforward: the only listed choice is the AT, an Electro Van produced from 2022. It combines 136 hp (100 kW), 180 Nm, an Automatic gearbox, and FWD.
The BYD ETP3 catalogue contains one generation and one version, so the buying decision is straightforward: the only listed choice is the AT, an Electro Van produced from 2022. It combines 136 hp (100 kW), 180 Nm, an Automatic gearbox, and FWD. There are no alternative generations, motors, transmissions, or drivetrains in the supplied specifications, which means there is no more powerful, lighter, or differently configured ETP3 to compare against within this catalogue.
BYD ETP3 generations and versions compared
The 1 generation has been in production since 2022 and uses a Van body. It contains one modification, the AT. Because no earlier generation or restyled version is listed, the data does not support claims about changes in power, weight, performance, body style, or cargo capacity between generations.
For buyers asking what changed from one BYD ETP3 generation to another, the answer from the available catalogue is that no such comparison can be made. Only the 1 generation is represented, and only the AT belongs to it.
BYD ETP3 specs and motor
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Cylinder layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 136 hp (100 kW) | 180 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | FWD |
The AT is the sole ETP3 specification available here. Its motor produces 136 hp, equivalent to 100 kW, and 180 Nm. Displacement is not measured for this Electro version, so power per litre cannot be calculated. Cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are also not measured rather than absent from the vehicle by implication.
The transmission is listed as an Automatic with 1 gear, while the drivetrain is FWD. Since every listed ETP3 uses this same configuration, buyers cannot trade additional power for lower weight, choose another gearbox, or select another drive layout within the supplied range.
Performance, top speed, and economy
The BYD ETP3 AT has a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Maximum speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | not measured | 100 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 |
City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured. Consequently, the supplied data cannot support an mpg comparison or a numerical running-cost comparison. Driving range is also not measured, so it should not be inferred from the motor output or vehicle weight.
The recorded CO₂ figure is 0. No acceleration figure, consumption figure, or range figure should be substituted for the missing measurements when evaluating the AT.
BYD ETP3 dimensions and weight
The AT has a kerb weight of 1,700 kg and a gross weight of 2,420 kg. The arithmetic difference between those two recorded weights is 720 kg, but that difference should not automatically be treated as a published payload rating because no payload figure is supplied.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Difference | Ground clearance | Tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 1,700 kg | 2,420 kg | 720 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured |
At kerb weight, the AT carries approximately 12.5 kg per horsepower. Expressed against its 100 kW output, the corresponding figure is 17 kg per kW. These calculated ratios are useful for comparing versions, but there is no second ETP3 version in the data against which to measure an advantage.
Ground clearance, tank capacity, and wheel sizes are not measured. Exterior dimensions, cargo dimensions, load dimensions, and interior dimensions are also not measured, so the catalogue cannot establish whether particular equipment or a camper conversion will fit.
The front suspension is Independent, spring, while the rear suspension is Dependent, spring. No alternative suspension arrangement is listed for another ETP3 version.
BYD ETP3 range, cargo space, and camper suitability
Range is not measured for the BYD ETP3 AT. Battery capacity and charging figures are likewise not measured, preventing a numerical comparison of charging time or usable driving distance.
Cargo dimensions and interior dimensions are not measured. Although the ETP3 is categorized as a Van, that body classification alone does not establish load length, load width, load height, or cargo volume. For the same reason, camper suitability cannot be decided numerically from these specifications.
BYD ETP3 problems, reliability, and service intervals
Problems and reliability results are not measured in the supplied data. Service intervals are also not measured, and no service-manual information is included. A buyer should therefore avoid treating the specification table as evidence for or against long-term reliability or maintenance frequency.
Which BYD ETP3 version should you buy?
Choose the AT if you want the ETP3 described by this catalogue: a 2022-onward Electro Van with 136 hp (100 kW), 180 Nm, an Automatic 1-gear transmission, and FWD. It weighs 1,700 kg at kerb and 2,420 kg gross, reaches a measured maximum speed of 100 km/h, and has a recorded CO₂ figure of 0.
There is no higher-output ETP3 version to justify extra spending, no lower-output version offering a different weight-to-power balance, and no previous generation available at a different specification level. Therefore, the decisive checks must concern the figures that are not measured here—especially range, charging, cargo dimensions, purchase price, service intervals, and condition—rather than a choice between catalogue versions. Price and vehicles for sale cannot be assessed because neither is included in the supplied data.
