What about god's eye and other features that BYD has been talking about? Which version of the atto 3 gets them? I wonder why they have released such sparse details - creates more confusion than comfort.

I doubt it is the 2025 version that has God's Eye ADAS tech. Details on the 2025 version is really missing.

Actual 2025 update here:

Folks owning the Creta have reported up to 470 Kms on a single change. The NMC batteries are significantly lighter than the equivalent LFP batteries, anywhere between 30-60%, this could be contributing to the higher range.

Creta EV has an ARAI/MIDC(new one) range of 473 km. So if anyone is actually achieving that range in real world that’s gotta be very very efficient driving and fully attributed to the driver’s skills more than anything.

You need to always compare like for like. For other vehicles, the MIDC ranges are:

Curvv EV 55: 502km
Atto 3 60: 521km
BE6 79: 683km

So if that driver were to drive these other vehicles I’m sure they’ll be able to extract these MIDC ranges as well. Depends completely on the driving style and the speed.

The big factor to EV range on highway is aerodynamic drag, which depends on the shape and the size. Increasing weight will not decrease the range when cruising.

I am one of the driver who is getting 450+ and even 500+ range for my Creta EV ( please see my posts in Creta EV thread for driving data). I am not new to EV and agree my driving skills do contribute to the range, but both my Nexon and Nexon max never even come close to the advertised figures. Electric Hyundai cars are efficient and BMS is done well. You can see similar posts in Kona thread of car outperforming the advertised range figures. It is not only my case, many people are reporting similar range for their Creta EV.

That's because the MIDC range has changed, so the claimed range for Nexon was way more unrealistic. Nexon EV never had MIDC phase 1+2 range published. MIDC phase 1 only had city driving while the new one (phase 1+2) has city as well as highway driving which reduces range.

Curvv EV was rated at 582km in phase 1 but came down to 502km in phase 1+2. Similarly the BE6 has 820km in phase 1, but 680ish km in phase1+2.

Creta EV's phase 1 range would be something like 560km which will be unrealistic too.

You need to test EVs like for like. Drive at 100kmph average and I can assure you an EV with 51kwh can't even hit anywhere close to 470km range, while driving at 60-70kmph it would be fairly easy.

BYD Atto 3 any day for me due to
1, LFP Blade cell batteries
2, Dedicated EV platform
3, More car for your money spent

Folks, let's not lose the plat here by quoting MIDC and comparing the specs sheets. The question is how does the Atto3 compare to the Creta LR. As I see it, if there is an ever a range test, the Atto3 will probably be ahead. But, unless such a range test is carried out, all of these discussions are academic.

Coming to the cars themselves, the Creta seems like a jack-of all trades, but master of none. But, in the case of cars, this could probably be the most important important criteria while buying a cars.

I wonder why BYD did not introduce these upgrades when they introduced the facelift 5 months ago. Back then, the Premium variant was real value for money.
The only differentiation between Premium and Superior variant was ADAS, Adaptive Headlamps and Adaptive cruise control. An extra 4 lakhs just for these features was not worth it, in my opinion.
I went through the BYD website and realised that Superior variant is now well equipped.
Other than the above features, Superior variant now gets
- Ventilated front seats( available only on superior variant)
- 8 speaker DIRAC setup( Premium variant will only get a 6 speaker setup)
- Multi colour gradient ambient lighting with music rhythm on door handles
- An extra airbag for the driver( Far side airbag)
- Door Open Warning( only available on superior variant)
This will push a few more customers to Superior variant from Premium.
It is nice that BYD has inroduced a LFP Low voltage battery. It is one feature I will miss in my Atto 3.
Kerala has hiked the EV road tax to 10% on EVs with a price above 20 lakhs. So customers will have to fork out more for these features.

Finding the charging status and remotely switching on the car with AC are much needed. I am not sure when they will add that support.

Wait....does this car not have that?

I am finding it more and more hard to justify spending the extra money to purchase this car over the creta ev. The only thing I disliked in the creta ev was the wind noise, I found it to be quite irritating above 80. In the Atto 3 I felt wind noise to be intrusive around 120. The atto has a couple of things over the creta but it's also significantly more expensive. No current ev is making sense to me. I think I might just get new tires for my jeep compass and keep it for another year or two.

There's no point in considering any EV with poor NVH below 120km/h, so you can definitely rule the Creta out. On the other hand, the Atto 3 is fantastic—I own one and couldn't be happier. I test drove the Creta last week, and honestly, it doesn’t even come close in terms of overall refinement. The Atto 3 absolutely blows it out of the water.

At ₹25L, it's a solid choice if you're looking to avoid the Mahindra INGLO route.

No. This car does not have that support. Atleast, I am not sure when that support will come.

Creta’s DC fast charging is pretty slow compared to other electric cars in same budget. It is a very critical detail for long distance travel. Wait for Creta EV facelift
