The new BYD Atto 3 is expected to arrive with a host of upgrades as seen on the global model revealed earlier this year. The electric SUV is also expected to get more variants with a lower price tag making it more competitive against the MG ZS EV in the same space. The updated Atto 3 will be the first launch under BYD India’s new Vice President - EPV business, Rajeev Chauhan.

The 2024 BYD Atto 3 is expected to get new entry-level variants with a lower price tag. The new variant is also likely to miss out on a few features in a bid to reduce prices. The Atto 3 currently gets a 60.48 kWh battery pack with a range of 521 km (ARAI certified). The new entry trim is expected to get a 50 kWh battery pack offering about 450 km of range on a single charge. A new non-ADAS variant is also likely to join the lineup to make the model more accessible at different price points.

2024 BYD Atto 3: Global Upgrades
BYD India is also expected to bring the MY2024 Atto 3 which received a host of upgrades earlier this year. This includes the new Cosmos Black paint scheme, new chrome window surrounds, and the D-pillar insert finished in gloss black. The company also dropped the ‘Build Your Dreams’ badge on the tailgate for just ‘BYD’. Furthermore, the SUV gets a wider 235/50 R18 tyre for better grip.
The cabin on the 2024 Atto 3 gets a bigger 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The larger unit continues to get the rotating feature along with an updated UI, while the cabin is now finished in a new dark blue and black colour scheme.
Other upgrades include a new ‘Intelligent Start’ system, Amazon Music support, a karaoke function and a BYD app store. The global-spec Atto 3 also gets better voice recognition software, quieter navigation, proximity alarm alerts and a new anti-theft alarm. It needs to be seen how many of these features will make it to the updated India-spec model.
