Key Takeaways
-
Both the electric SUV gets common features like a panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, push start/stop button, keyless entry, and 6-way power adjustable driver seat. In terms of safety, both get a 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), all-wheel disc brakes and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as well.
-
That said, the Atto 3 has certain feature advantages over the ZS EV in the form of a bigger 12.8-inch touchscreen system, an 8-speaker music system, and 4-way adjustable front passenger seat, and an additional airbag as well.
-
The ZS EV, on the other hand, also has some unique features such as height adjustable headrests for all the seats (Atto 3 gets only at the rear), a bigger 7-inch digital driver's display, and connected car tech which is a miss in the Atto 3.
Verdict
If you prefer more features, including a bigger touchscreen, a futuristic cabin, a more powerful electric SUV along with a higher claimed range figure, and extra safety features like an additional airbag, the BYD Atto 3 can be your pick. However, if you want a premium electric car with a similar battery pack as offered on the base-spec Atto 3 but at a lower price, then the ZS EV should be your choice with a near identical features set.
