BYD Atto 3 Electric SUV Launch On October 11 - Likely To Rival MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona & More
Electric cars are steadily gaining traction in the Indian automobile market, especially in tier 1 cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai. In addition to that, more people have started to consider electric vehicles as a viable option.
That being said, the electric passenger car segment is still limited by the lack of options and it is currently dominated by Tata Motors with almost 75 per cent market share.
Now, BYD (Build Your Dreams) is gearing up to launch the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV on October 11. This new electric SUV will rival the likes of MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona and may even rival the likes of the upcoming Mahindra XUV400.
The upcoming BYD Atto 3 electric SUV will be brought to India via SKD (semi-knocked down) route, and the model is already available in other right-hand drive automobile markets such as Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia.
According to insiders at BYD, the upcoming BYD Atto 3's E platform has been designed to take on the likes of high-end electric cars such as Tesla. As a result, the upcoming BYD Atto 3 is expected to be a lot more comfortable and compliant than its immediate rivals.
Apart from that, the upcoming BYD Atto 3 electric SUV is also somewhat large electric SUV measuring 4,455mm in length, 1,875mm in width and sporting a wheelbase of 2,720mm. In comparison, the MG ZS EV comes with a wheelbase of 2,581mm, and measures 4,323mm long and 1,809mm wide. Whereas the Hyundai Kona is even more compact but sporting a slightly longer wheelbase at 2,600mm.
All this translates to the upcoming BYD Atto 3 electric SUV being a size larger than is immediate rivals. As a result, expect the upcoming BYD Atto 3 to be a lot more spacious on the inside, especially the 2nd-row seats.
Internationally, the BYG Atto 3 electric SUV is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor with 201bhp of peak power and 310Nm of peak torque. Thanks to such punchy powertrain, the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV can sprint to 100km/h from a standstill in just 7.3 seconds.
Moreover, to support the 'oomph' of the Atto 3, BYD has equipped the electric SUV with a large 60.48kWh battery pack. Thanks to this battery pack and clever battery management techniques, the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV can travel up to 420km (WLTP cycle) on a single charge.
In terms of design, the upcoming BYD Atto 3 electric SUV looks rather premium with its full-width LED light bars at the front and rear. Moreover, the electric SUV also sports sporty bumpers at both ends, and comes with creases and curves in all the right places. On the inside, BYD Atto 3 electric SUV feels both special and quirky at the same time.
Deliveries of the upcoming BYD Atto 3 electric SUV are expected to start at the beginning of 2023 and we expect the model to be priced around the Rs 25 lakh price bracket.
Thoughts About BYD Atto 3 Electric SUV
The upcoming BYD Atto 3 electric SUV sure looks very promising and it also comes with more than decent specifications with the capability to attract even the toughest of buyers. However, the success of the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV will heavily depend upon the pricing.
