The electric car race in India is heating up. And BYD is not staying behind. The BYD Atto 3 2025 is here, and it’s better, smarter, and more powerful than before. If you liked the earlier version, this facelifted one is going to impress you even more.
The Atto 3 already made a name for itself as a feature-rich and premium EV. Now with the 2025 version, BYD has taken things a step further. From the outside look to inside tech and driving range, everything has been improved.
Let’s talk about what makes the new Atto 3 a strong option in the electric SUV market.
Fresh New Look
The BYD Atto 3 always had a clean design. But now in 2025, it looks even more refined. The front end has been updated with a sharper grille panel. It’s still a closed EV-style face, but the detailing is neater.
The headlights are slimmer now. They use full LED setup with better throw and a more stylish pattern. The DRLs are now in a “C” shape which gives the car a more premium road presence.
The front bumper has small changes. It looks sportier with black inserts and a larger air dam. From the side, not much has changed. But the dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels now get a new design.
Door handles are still body-coloured, and you get chrome inserts around the windows in the higher trims. At the rear, the tail light unit is now full-width with a sharper LED strip. It lights up in a new pattern at night, which looks quite futuristic.
The Atto 3 now comes in new colour options too. You’ll see shades like Ocean Blue, Forest Green, Grey Metallic, and a dual-tone White with Black roof. These colour combos add freshness to the car.
Interior Still Feels Like a Concept
The cabin of the BYD Atto 3 is one of its strongest points. And thankfully, that hasn’t changed. The design still looks like it came out of a concept car.
The dashboard is wide, soft-touch, and designed with unique elements. The air vents look like dumbbells. The door handles are shaped like guitar strings. And yes, they actually work like strings. You pull them to open the doors. It’s quirky, but fun.
The steering wheel is chunky and feels premium to hold. It now comes with a flat-bottom design in the 2025 model. It has mounted controls for media, phone, and cruise.
The main highlight continues to be the rotating 15.6-inch touchscreen. You can use it in portrait or landscape mode, depending on what you like. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay now. The screen is bright, smooth, and super responsive.
Right in front of the driver is a 5-inch digital display. It’s small but shows all key info like speed, range, battery level, and ADAS data.
More Premium Touches
BYD has added more soft-touch materials all over the cabin. Even the lower door panels and centre console have been upgraded.
Seats are now made from vegan leather. The front ones are electrically adjustable and also ventilated in the top trim. The rear seats are wide, offer good legroom, and have a centre armrest with cup holders.
The panoramic sunroof is still massive. It adds a lot of natural light into the cabin. You also get ambient lighting across the dashboard and doors, which changes colours based on drive modes.
Boot Space and Storage
The boot space in the Atto 3 remains around 440 litres. That’s enough for a few travel bags or a week’s worth of groceries. The rear seats can be folded down in 60:40 ratio for more space.
There are also smart storage spots inside. Like the sliding cup holders in the front, a deep centre box, and big door pockets.
ADAS 3.0 Makes Driving Safer
One of the biggest updates in the 2025 Atto 3 is the ADAS 3.0 system. This is BYD’s latest version of Advanced Driver Assistance System. It now works more smoothly and can read Indian road conditions better.
Features include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Emergency Braking
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Forward Collision Warning
There are also 360-degree cameras, front and rear parking sensors, and auto high beam function. All this makes city and highway driving safer and stress-free.
Massive Range That Beats the Competition
The BYD Atto 3 now comes with an improved 60.5 kWh Blade Battery. This battery is super safe and lasts long. And with better tuning, the range is now over 520 km (ARAI claimed). In real-world conditions, expect 430 to 470 km depending on how you drive.
The battery supports DC fast charging up to 80 kW. This can charge the car from 0 to 80% in around 45 minutes. For home charging, BYD gives a 7 kW AC wall box, which takes about 9 to 10 hours for a full charge.
The charging port is now hidden behind a motorised flap which adds to the premium feel.
Smooth and Quick Drive
The Atto 3 continues with its front-mounted electric motor. It makes 201 bhp and 310 Nm of torque. That’s enough to take this SUV from 0 to 100 kmph in around 7.3 seconds.
You feel that instant push the moment you tap the pedal. It’s smooth, silent, and fun to drive. In the city, it glides through traffic. On highways, it can hold triple-digit speeds without stress.
There are three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport. In Eco, you save battery. In Sport, it becomes more responsive. Regenerative braking levels can be adjusted too.
The suspension is tuned more for comfort. So bumps and rough patches are handled well. Even rear passengers feel little body movement. The steering is light in city and gets heavier as you speed up.

Expected Price and Variants
BYD is expected to offer the 2025 Atto 3 in two variants – Premium and Performance. The expected price range is around ₹33 lakh to ₹36 lakh (ex-showroom). Yes, it’s premium. But the kind of features and range you get make it a solid package.
It will compete with models like the MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and even some ICE compact SUVs like the Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Compass.
With its tech-loaded cabin, long range, and stylish design, the Atto 3 stands out.
