BYD Atto 3 e-SUV Review In 10 points

BYD has lately unveiled a new e-SUV in the Indian automobile market, the Atto 3. For those who do not know, BYD (Build Your Dreams) is a high-tech manufacturing company known globally for its sportier and quirky EVs & battery technologies. This is in a while that the company is going loud in India and trying to make its own identity in the Indian market. It is the second offering from BYD India. We took a dive from the front to the interior of this car and got some thoughts about it that we would like to share with you.

First up, the Atto3, by the looks of it, is a very different EV which is definitely a head-turner on the roads. It has an aerodynamic inspired design which also makes the look compact for a midsize SUV.

Here is our finding about the BYD Atto 3 in pointers for your easy and approachable understanding.

    BYD Atto 3 Cons:

    1. Quirky interiors and hefty centre console area

    2. Rear seat access is a bit narrow

    3. Under-thigh support could be bit better

    4. Messy bonnet compartment 

       Summary:

       It all comes down to the pricing as BYD will have to impress Indian customers. So if they price this car well ( around 30 lakhs) this can be a segment bestseller without a doubt - a combination of great looks, great performance (0-100 in 7.3 secs) and great range(real world testing still remains), great safety (NCAP 5*) and great warranty package. Not many cars give this much!
