Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Hyundai KONA is रु 13,04,000 cheaper ex-showroom (20.1%), while the BYD Atto 3 is ahead on dealer and service reach and battery capacity — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the BYD Atto 3 if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want the bigger pack for range headroom

Measured: 9 more service centres in Nepal (44 vs 35); 21.3 kWh more battery capacity.

Choose the Hyundai KONA if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 85 Nm more torque; 12 more showrooms in Nepal (81 vs 69).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
