The BYD Atto 3 represents China’s most successful electric vehicle brand’s Indian ambitions — and it’s arrived with genuine substance. BYD’s proprietary Blade Battery (lithium iron phosphate chemistry) is rated IP68, self-extinguishing in penetration tests, and reportedly among the safest EV batteries available. At ₹24.99 lakh with 521 km ARAI range, the Atto 3 undercuts the Kia EV6 significantly while offering substantially more range and a larger electric SUV. We drove 2,000 km across Mumbai and Pune to assess it comprehensively.

The Kia EV6 is in a different universe from India’s mainstream EV market — at ₹60.95 lakh, it’s positioned against premium European EVs, not the Nexon EV. Built on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform with 800V ultra-fast charging architecture, a dual-motor AWD option producing 325 PS, and 708 km ARAI range, the EV6 brings genuinely world-class electric vehicle technology to India.

The Aprilia SR 160 is India’s most performance-oriented conventional scooter — a 160cc Italian-brand machine that brings race-DNA inspiration, aggressive styling, and genuine performance credentials to a segment where 125cc is the norm. Built in India by Piaggio India (the parent company of Aprilia), the SR 160 competes in a unique performance scooter niche alongside the TVS NTorq and the Honda Grazia at a premium price point. We review it after 6 months of spirited city and highway riding.

The Vespa SXL 125 occupies a unique position in India’s scooter market — it’s not competing on price, mileage, or feature lists with the Honda Activa or TVS NTorq. Instead, the Vespa sells its Italian heritage, its all-metal body, its distinctive design that has remained essentially unchanged since 1946, and the unmistakable experience of riding a genuine Vespa. At ₹1.40 lakh — nearly twice the price of an Activa 125 — the SXL 125 is a premium lifestyle product. We review whether it delivers on that premium promise.
