New, less expensive BYD Atto 3 versions are coming soon, according to BYD India. They will go on sale on July 10. Now, ahead of its release, we have access to unique sources for information on the updated Atto 3. The Atto 3, which was previously only sold in one variant, is now available in three: Dynamic, Premium, and Superior. Let’s examine the exact details and attributes of every new version:
Powertrain
The e-motor, which still produces the same amount of power and torque as the top variation, has not changed, but the base-spec Dynamic variant of the Atto 3 will now have a smaller 50 kWh battery pack. The range of this new base model is 468 km (ARAI). With a stated range of 521 km, the mid-spec model has the same battery pack as the top trim.
| Specifications | Dynamic (New) | Premium (New) | Superior |
| Battery Pack | 50 kWh | 60 kWh | 60 kWh |
| Power | 204 PS | 204 PS | 204 PS |
| Torque | 310 Nm | 310 Nm | 310 Nm |
| Claimed Range (ARAI) | 468 km | 521 km | 521 km |
BYD’s Blade Battery, which can be charged from 0 to 80 percent using a DC charger in about 50 minutes, is included with the Atto 3. While the Premium and Superior variants allow an 80 kW charging option, the Dynamic variant only supports a 70 kW DC charging option.
Features And Safety
The Dynamic edition which is less expensive will be lacking features such as a powered tailgate, ambient lighting with many colors, and an eight-speaker sound system instead of just six speakers. ADAS (currently available only on the top model) and adaptive LED headlights will also be absent.
Nonetheless, a panoramic sunroof, a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, 60:40 split rear seats, a 5-inch digital driver’s display, and a 12.8-inch rotatable touchscreen featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will be standard on all three versions.
All versions have seven airbags as standard, an electronic stability program (ESP), hill descent control, a 360-degree camera, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
Costs and Competitors
On July 10, BYD is scheduled to disclose the costs of the new Atto 3 models. Atto 3 prices currently vary from Rs 33.99 lakh to Rs 34.49 lakh (ex-showroom). However, with the release of these additional variations, the Atto 3 should start to sell for less than Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom).
This increases its competitiveness against the MG ZS EV, the soon-to-be Tata Curvv EV, the Maruti Suzuki eVX, and the Hyundai Creta EV.
