It’s unclear if the aforementioned features will come with the India-spec Atto 3 as well. If BYD decide to offer ADAS with the Atto 3, it will be the only electric SUV in its segment to offer the advanced safety tech. We expect BYD to price the Atto 3 in the range of Rs. 22 lakhto Rs. 25 lakh ex-showroom.
