Atto 3 rivals MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona Electric and Tata Nexon EV Max.
Priced at Rs 33.99 lakh (ex-showroom), only 1,200 units of the Atto 3 SUV will be available, claims the manufacturer.
For the Atto 3, BYD has already received more than 2,000 bookings. The model comes in four different colours, including Boulder Grey, Parkour Red, Ski White, and Surf Blue, and is offered in a single, fully loaded variant.
BYD displayed a Special Edition of the Atto 3 electric SUV, valued at Rs 34.49 lakh, at the Auto Expo 2023. It featured a fresh Forest Green paintjob (ex-showroom). This new version is now being ordered and delivered.
