First look: Purposeful and practical

The BYD ETP3 looks every bit the purpose-built cargo van: a boxy silhouette, high roof and straightforward styling that places function above fashion. Dimensions of 4460 mm long, 1720 mm wide and 1875 mm tall give it a compact footprint for city streets while still offering a roomy load area. Curb weight is about 1640 kg, which is in line with electric vans that carry their batteries low for stability. Current versions include the BYD ETP3 Electric Automatic Rear-Wheel Drive with 136 hp and an official range of 233 km.

Cab comfort: Simple, durable and driver-focused

The cabin follows the same no-nonsense brief: two seats, durable plastics and an uncluttered dash aimed at workaday durability rather than luxury. Seating is firm but supportive for a day of deliveries and the upright seating position makes city manoeuvres easy. Controls are logically placed and easy to clean, which matters when the vehicle gets dusty after a jobsite visit. With five doors and a simple layout, the ETP3 keeps entry and daily use straightforward for drivers who spend long hours behind the wheel.

Cargo reality: Space that actually works

Where the ETP3 really earns its keep is cargo capacity: up to 3500 L of load space and a payload rating of 780 kg mean multiple crates, equipment or stock fits without gymnastics. The two-seat cabin frees up interior volume and the tall roof helps with awkward items that won't fit in a passenger car. Loading geometry is practical rather than clever, with a boxy bay that makes stacking and sliding goods simple. For small businesses that need reliable cubic capacity rather than fancy storage hacks, this van gets the job done.

On the road: City-friendly handling

Driving the ETP3 reflects its mission: steady, predictable and best suited to urban and suburban duty rather than high-speed runs. The electric motor offers 136 hp and 180 Nm of torque, enough for brisk city acceleration and hill starts even when laden. Top speed is limited to 100 km/h, so motorway overtakes feel restrained and long-distance cruising is not its forte. Rear-wheel drive and the battery's low placement give decent stability under load and make low-speed manoeuvres surprisingly composed.

Energy use: Range, charging and real-world reach

Official range of 233 km positions the ETP3 as a true urban workhorse rather than a long-haul vehicle; daily delivery rounds and shuttle runs are comfortably covered. Real-world range will depend on payload, driving style and climate, so heavily loaded routes or cold-weather runs will reduce that figure noticeably. Charging specifications aren't the headline attraction here, so planning for overnight depot charging or midday top-ups is sensible for continuous operation. For fleets with predictable city routes the range is practical; for intercity runs a different vehicle is a better fit.

Tech & safety: Useful aids, no frills

Technology and safety gear lean towards functionality: expect a practical infotainment screen and basic driver aids rather than a suite of premium assistance systems. The ETP3's zero tailpipe emissions and CO2 efficiency class A help urban operators meet low-emission zone requirements and corporate sustainability targets. Standard safety equipment is likely focused on essentials — stability, airbags and parking aids — rather than advanced semi-autonomous features. That practical tech mix keeps costs down and maintenance straightforward for fleet operators who prioritise uptime.

Who should buy it?

The BYD ETP3 suits small businesses, couriers and municipal fleets that need a simple, electric cargo van for predictable urban routes. With its 3500 L cargo space, 780 kg payload and a 233 km range, it balances load-carrying ability with emissions-free operation for city use. Those who require high-speed motorway performance, luxury cabins or long-range logistics should look elsewhere, but for city-focused duty the ETP3 is a pragmatic and cost-effective choice.
