BYD, India's top-selling car manufacturer, has recently unveiled a refreshed version of its popular Atto 3 model featuring updated designs and a host of new features. Both the exterior and interior have received subtle but notable enhancements. Here's a closer look at what the India-bound version might offer:
Exterior Updates on the Upcoming BYD Atto 3
The facelifted Atto 3 presents a more striking appearance with the introduction of a new 'Cosmos Black' color option. Gloss black trim now adorns the windows and D-pillars, replacing the previous chrome accents. The tailgate now showcases a simplified 'BYD' logo, moving away from the earlier 'Build Your Dreams' emblem. Additionally, the electric vehicle (EV) is equipped with redesigned 18-inch alloy wheels.
Interior Modifications in the 2024 BYD Atto 3
The 2024 iteration of the BYD Atto 3 is equipped with a larger 15.6-inch touchscreen display, a feature borrowed from the recently introduced Seal model. This display, which can be oriented in landscape or portrait mode, is a central focus of the cabin. The interior color scheme has also been updated to a contemporary dark blue and black combination. Moreover, the vehicle introduces a new 'Intelligent Start' system allowing drivers to simply press the brake pedal to start the vehicle.
Battery, Powertrain, and Range Specifications of the BYD Atto 3
The 2024 version is expected to maintain the 60.48kWh Blade battery. The EV operates on a front-wheel-drive system powered by a single permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. While its real-world driving range has not been tested, the ARAI-tested range stands at 521km on a single charge.
Pricing and Launch Timeline for the 2024 BYD Atto 3
The global launch of this latest iteration from BYD is pending, and thus, official pricing details are not yet available. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that the updated BYD Atto 3 will make its debut in India soon after its international unveiling.
