BYD India has launched the Atto 3 in India with a price tag of Rs 33.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Unveiled last month, the EV carmaker has gathered 1,500 bookings for the electric SUV which is available in a single fully-loaded trim.

The Atto 3 sources its power from a 60.48kWh battery pack that produces 201bhp and 310Nm of torque. There are three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sports to choose from and BYD claims a zero to 100kmph sprint time of 7.3 seconds. The charging options include 80kW DC and 7.2kW AC chargers and the claimed range is 521km.

The exterior design and styling of the Atto 3 are funky and sport sleek LED headlamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, a contrast C-pillar, and split LED tail lamps. On the inside, the cabin of the BYD Atto 3 is equipped with a rotatable 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a five-inch digital instrument cluster, powered front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, and 31-colour ambient lighting.

The BYD Atto 3 goes up against the likes of the Hyundai Kona Electric and MG ZS EV.
