New entrant in the EV space, BYD (Build Your Dreams) will launch its second offering for India, the Atto 3 electric SUV, on October 11, 2022. It will join the Rs 25 lakh-35 lakh EV SUV segment in India, which includes models like the MG ZS EV and the Hyundai Kona Electric. Company insiders say that the electric SUV's E platform, which has been designed to take on the likes of Tesla, is expected to provide better driving comfort than its rivals. The Atto 3 is BYD’s second model in the passenger vehicle segment in India, following the e6 MPV.
