BYD has launched the updated Atto 3 in Nepal, now available in Advanced and Superior trims, priced at Rs 61.99 lakh and Rs 67.80 lakh respectively. The 2026 Atto 3 was also showcased at the NADA Auto Show 2026 with an introductory price of NPR 62.90 Lakhs.
Within BYD’s Nepal lineup, the Atto 3 sits above the Atto 2 EV, priced at Rs 48.99 lakh, and the M6, priced between Rs 55 lakh–Rs 58.90 lakh, but below the Sealion 7, which was launched at a price of NPR 92.99 Lakhs. The Sealion 7, a premium electric SUV, was introduced at the NADA Auto Show 2026. The Atto 3 is also placed above the Dolphin, priced between Rs 41.15 lakh–Rs 48.99 lakh, and the Atto 1, priced between Rs 29.75 lakh–Rs 33.80 lakh. The Atto 1 received a feature update, including a new 360° camera system.
The 2026 Atto 3 continues on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 and maintains its familiar dimensions: 4,455 mm long, 1,875 mm wide, 1,615 mm tall, with a 2,720 mm wheelbase and 175 mm ground clearance. Boot space is 434 litres, expanding to 1,340 litres with the rear seats folded.
Inside, updates include ventilated front seats, automatic rain-sensing wipers, adjustable headrests, and revised gear-shift controls inspired by the BYD Atto 2. The cabin also retains a panoramic sunroof, powered front seats, and wireless smartphone charging.
Power is delivered by a front-wheel-drive electric setup with a 100 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor and 310 Nm of torque. BYD claims both variants can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 10.1 seconds.
The launch adds another option for Nepali EV buyers seeking a compact electric SUV with a more premium feature list than the brand’s lower-priced models. Additionally, the BYD Atto 2 Superior Variant was announced with a price of NPR 51.99 Lakhs, featuring a panoramic glass roof and upgraded technology.
These reveals were part of the 'BYD Grand Auto Fest 2026', which offers customers benefits such as a 10-year extended warranty, complimentary insurance, and a choice between cash benefits or a 3-year AMC package. The event highlights BYD's commitment to expanding its presence in the Nepali market with a diverse range of electric vehicles.
