All things considered, I consider the current pre-update atto 3 to be a slightly better car than the creta electric. However, from my perspective, the Attos price difference is greater than the quality difference from the creta. So I am still considering both and hope BYD announces a price drop for the atto.

Jetpack, a few things to consider:

Atto 3 is a born-electric.
Creta EV isn't.

And price-wise, I find the Atto 3 to be asking a reasonable premium for what it offers. On the other hand, I find the only thing demanding a premium for the Creta is its nameplate.

To each his own.

And no, I don't expect BYD to shut shop anytime soon. Yes, they'll face headwinds in expansion. However, they won't close down like Ford or GM.

Why?

BYD has been in India for far longer than its passenger car division. BYD partners in the production of the Olectra buses.

Therefore, we can see an Indian partner step in sooner rather than later for BYD to move on to locally built units.

Offtopic: I was told the current lot of Atto 3s are SKDs. Let me reconfirm.

2025 BYD Seal and Atto 3 Launched In India – New Prices, Upgrades

The ATTO 3, which has sold over 3,100 units since launch, will receive an all-black interior with ventilated front seats and an upgraded Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) low-voltage battery. According to BYD, this battery offers six times lighter weight compared to conventional options, five times better self-discharge consumption, and an extended lifespan of 15 years.

what about god's eye update? The details that have been shared by BYD are so sparse that I have more questions than answers.

It is an atrocious decision to continue with the erstwhile interiors in India while most of the world will be getting updated interiors. Yes, the interiors are much better put together but why deprive us?

And then comes the pricing.

I was hoping that the Mahindra twins' entry would influence BYD's pricing rationalization. It looks like BYD believes it'll be more profitable to supply batteries to other manufacturers than selling its cars.

The feature is limited to the top-end model. India doesn't get the feature across all variants as is the case in China.
