2024 BYD Atto 3: what’s new
The new base spec variant of the Atto 3 called Dynamic gets a new, smaller battery pack with a 50kWh capacity. This gives it a reduced ARAI-certified range of 468Km. It also gets a slower 70kW charging capability compared to 80kW in the other variants. However, it still gets the same power and torque figures at 204HP and 310NM. In terms of features, it loses equipment such as a powered tailgate, multi-colour ambient lighting. It also gets a 6 speaker music system instead of the 8 speaker one found in higher trims along with smaller 17 inch wheels.
The feature differences with the mid-spec Premium and top-end Superior variants are far lesser with it only losing adaptive LED headlamps and ADAS features. The top-end has only been renamed to Superior with rest of the package remaining unchanged. As before, these variants get a 60kWh battery pack with an ARAI-certified 521Km of range.
All three trims get features such as a 12.8 inch rotating touchscreen infotainment system, 7 airbags, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, powered front seats and more. BYD is also introducing a new Cosmos Black paint option in addition the existing Surf Blue, Ski White and Boulder Grey colours. In terms of pricing, the entry-level Dynamic variant is priced at Rs. 24.99 Lakhs (Ex-showroom) with the mid-spec Premium variant coming in at Rs. 29.85 Lakhs (Ex-showroom). Price for the top-end Superior variant remains unchanged at Rs 33.99 Lakhs (Ex-showroom).
With the more affordable variants, the Atto 3 will be able to compete better with rivals such as the MG ZS EV and Mahindra XUV400 among other options.
