Atto 3 Dynamic: Smaller Battery Pack 

The company has managed to reduce the price for this new entry-level variant by accommodating a smaller battery pack of 50kWh with an ARAI-claimed range of 468km on a single charge. The other two variants, Premium and Superior, are equipped with a 60.48kWh battery, offering a range of 521km, 53km more than the Dynamic variant. However, all three variants have a single electric motor mounted on the rear axle, delivering 204bhp and 310Nm of torque.

The smaller battery in the Atto 3 Dynamic takes 8 hours to fully charge using an AC charger, while the larger battery pack in the other two variants takes about 10 hours. The DC fast charger can charge the battery from 0 to 80 percent in 50 minutes. All variants are offered with a 7kW home charger and a 3kWh portable charger.

It also comes with smaller 17-inch wheels. Additionally, the company introduced a new Cosmos Black color scheme to the electric SUV model lineup.
