Home / New Car Prices / BYD / Atto 1 EV
The BYD Atto 1 is a compact, city-focused EV that brings BYD’s Blade battery, a modern cabin and strong feature packaging to the entry-level end of Nepal’s electric-car market. For Nepal buyers, its appeal is less about performance excitement and more about a well-equipped, easy-to-place hatchback with a usable claimed range in the Premium variant and a price that still undercuts many larger EVs.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 26 Jul 2026.
The Atto 1 is the Nepal-market name for BYD’s compact Ocean-series hatchback, internationally known as the Seagull, and it sits on the e-Platform 3.0. It has a short, upright footprint that suits Kathmandu traffic, tight parking spots and narrow neighbourhood roads better than a bigger crossover. It still presents a modern, clean EV look instead of a bare-bones commuter image. The Premium variant is the better-equipped version, but the overall design and basic body style stay the same across the line-up.
In Nepal, both variants use a front-mounted 45 kW motor, so the main difference is battery capacity and claimed range rather than power. The Dynamic comes with the smaller battery and a 230 km claimed range. The Premium uses the larger 38.88 kWh pack and is claimed for 300 km. That makes it the more comfortable choice for buyers who want extra margin for intercity use or less frequent charging. This is an EV aimed at quiet, efficient everyday use rather than quick acceleration or long-distance touring, and its drivetrain setup reflects that.
