Safety
The ATTO 3 includes a lot of safety elements in addition to the convenience features. It has level 2 BYD Dipilot Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) and seven airbags. Numerous airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring, a high-speed alert system, front seatbelt reminders, hill hold control, hill descent control, and more are additional safety features. Additionally, it received a 5-star rating from EURO NCAP for safety.
Spacious Interior
The interior of the SUV is roomy, and it can comfortably fit 5 passengers. The middle seat passenger in the back will feel more comfortable thanks to the flat floor in the back. Additionally, the cabin feels airy thanks to the panoramic sunroof.
Cons
High Pricing
The BYD ATTO 3 is a bit expensive. The pricing of the electric SUV is Rs 33.99 lakh (ex-showroom), which is more expensive when compared to similar-sized vehicles from other brands.
Brand Identity
The majority of people in India are still unaware of Build Your Dream (BYD), a new brand. The BYD brand name may also encounter some sort of backlash because it is a Chinese brand.
Sales & Service Network
BYD is currently establishing its nationwide sales and service network. It is still uncertain how well the brand's sales and after-sales systems work.
Verdict: Potential customers can become turned off by the BYD ATTO 4 electric's price tag. The ATTO 3's price could have been a little low given that the Hyundai Kona, MG ZS EV, and Tata Nexon EV are all available for less than Rs 30 lakh.
