BYD Atto 3 Forest Green

The Chinese automaker is showcasing its recently-launched Atto 3 electric SUV with a new Forest Green colour. Priced at Rs 34.49 lakh (ex-showroom), only 1200 units of the new colour variant will be sold in India. Except for the new paint job, the EV looks the same with its sporty front-end featuring all-LED headlights and a slim chrome band right in the middle. The side profile gets muscular wheel arches while the rear-end provides connected LED taillights and a roof spoiler.

Moving to the interior, the Atto 3’s minimalistic dashboard is dominated by a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that can rotate at the touch of a button. Other notable features include a 360-degree camera, wireless charging, powered front seats, ambient lighting, a dash cam, and more. It also offers ADAS tech such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane-Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control and Front & Rear Collision Warning.

The Atto 3 uses a 60.48 kWh battery pack that powers a single front-axle mounted electric motor which makes 201 bhp with 310 Nm of peak torque. The automaker claims a range of 521 kms on a full charge. The battery can be recharged from 0 to 80 percent in just 50 minutes using an 80 kW fast charger.
