BYD ATTO 3 vs MG ZS EV

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The MG ZS EV has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 94 kW, which is roughly 6% higher than the BYD ATTO 3 at 89 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the MG ZS EV finishes in about 37 minutes, which is 1 minutes quicker than the BYD ATTO 3 at 38 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The MG ZS EV has a WLTP rated range of approximately 440 km, which is roughly 20 km more than the BYD ATTO 3 at approximately 420 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The BYD ATTO 3 consumes 183 Wh/km, compared to 185 Wh/km for the MG ZS EV. That means the BYD ATTO 3 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The MG ZS EV has approximately 68.3 kWh of useable battery , while the BYD ATTO 3 has approximately 60.5 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the MG ZS EV has the higher published DC figure (up to 94 kW) while matching the quickest published 10-80% time at approximately 37 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the BYD ATTO 3 supports up to 11 kW, compared to 7.4 kW for the MG ZS EV. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the BYD ATTO 3 is the more efficient choice at 183 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the MG ZS EV has a WLTP rated range of approximately 440 km, which is roughly 20 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
