1. Frunk

One of the key aspects of an EV is the freely available space under the hood with no engine in place. The Hyundai Creta EV makes use of it and provides a 22L frunk, which can be used to store your stuff. The BYD Atto 3, on the other hand, misses out on this one. Although the space isn't substantial, its good to have something extra. Always feels nice.

2. Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control

This is something that is substantial, and the Creta Electric again takes a leap and offers dual-zone automatic climate control. It basically does what it says, and the front passengers can select their comfortable temperatures individually. You will find it very useful if your better half prefers a higher temperature and you are more comfortable in a relatively chilly zone. BYD Atto 3 comes with regular automatic climate control.

3. 10.25-Inch Digital Instrument Cluster

The Hyundai Creta Electric distinguishes itself with a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, a significant upgrade over the BYD Atto 3's 5-inch unit. This larger display offers both aesthetic and functional advantages, enhancing visibility, information presentation, and customization. Notably, its utility shines during navigation, providing clear, turn-by-turn directions directly within the driver's line of sight, reducing reliance on the central infotainment screen. If you are someone who prefers digital over analogues, you're in for a treat.

4. Paddle Shifters But Not What You Think!

The Hyundai Creta Electric comes with paddle shifters, and while they impart a sporty feel to the cabin and the driver's experience, it's not for what you think it is. They basically are the controls for regen levels in the car for a more customised experience. BYD Atto 3 also comes with regen braking, but not anything like this.

5. Rear Window Shades

This is something that comes in very handy during those hot summer days when you are in direct sight of the sunlight. While the BYD Atto 3 misses out on this one as well, it is important to note that most of the aftermarket sunshades are illegal and can land you in trouble with the authorities if checked.

6. More Control On Seats- Front And Rear!

While both the Creta Electric and the Atto 3 offer power-adjustable front seating, the Creta Electric provides a more comprehensive range of adjustments. The Creta Electric's premium configuration allows for eight-way adjustments for both driver and front passenger, exceeding the Atto 3's six-way driver and four-way passenger adjustments. Moreover, the Creta Electric enhances driver convenience with a memory function for the powered driver's seat, enabling one-touch recall of preferred settings. An additional unique feature in the Creta Electric is the electronically adjustable passenger walk-in function, which allows rear occupants to modify the front passenger seat position, increasing rear legroom.
