BYD Atto 3 Overview

Design

Following the latest EV trend, it has a sloping hood for improved aerodynamics.

Moreover, it hosts an aggressively styled bumper with muscular air intakes.

The side profile is relatively simpler with familiar traditional lines and creases. Moreover, the Cosmos Black features a black D-pillar trim with Black Windows.

However, the side profile stands out thanks to the Chromed Window Border, Textured C-pillar, and Stylish Alloy Wheels.

The rear section includes an all-new LED Tail Lamp, covering the full width.

The following table lists the BYD Atto 3 price in Nepal along with its variants for September 2024.

BYD Atto 3 rivals MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona EV.

All three electric SUVs fall under similar price brackets with matching motor and battery capacity.

Hyundai Kona Electric has the least 39.2kWh battery capacity, offering a mere 305km range for an asking price that costs more than BYD Atto 3 and MG ZS EV!

Perhaps, that is one of the reasons why Kona EV fell out of popularity.

Interestingly enough, the MG ZS EV has a reasonable 6-month service interval. Whereas, the BYD Atto 3 has been notorious for 4-month service intervals.
