BYD India has achieved a significant milestone by delivering 200 units of its Atto 3 electric SUV in a single day across six major Indian cities. To celebrate this achievement, the company organized interactive events with customers, including entertainment with live music powered by the Atto 3’s V2L (Vehicle to Load) feature.
The V2L feature can power external devices or even a small room, showcasing the model’s capabilities. The events concluded with each customer receiving the keys to their new BYD Atto 3.
The Atto 3 was launched in India in October 2022 and has since received an encouraging response from customers. The mid-size electric SUV is based on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 and features the company’s Blade battery technology.
The Atto 3 is powered by a single PMS electric motor tuned for 150 kW (201 bhp) and 310 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds and has a top speed of 160 km/h.
Likewise, the car is stuffed with a 60.48 kWh battery pack that offers an ARAI-certified range of 521 km on a single charge. It can be charged from 0 to 80% in 50 minutes using a DC fast charger.
It is also packed with a host of features, including a panoramic sunroof, NFC card key, V2L (Vehicle to Load), and a 12.8-inch adaptive rotating infotainment screen. The Atto 3 also comes with a Level 2 Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) that includes features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
The Atto 3 competes against the MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric in the Indian market. It is locally assembled in India and priced at Rs. 34 lakh (ex-showroom).
