The month of the festival has already begun, and we are going to witness some important launches this month, including the BYD Atto 3 electric SUV. Without wasting any time, let’s move to the top 5 upcoming cars that we’re expecting to see in October 2022.
BYD Atto 3
After introducing the e6 MPV for private buyers, BYD is now going to launch its second electric model in the form of the Atto 3 SUV on October 11, 2022. Globally, it comes with two battery pack options – 49.93kWh and 60.48kWh, offering a WLTP claimed range of 345km and 420km, respectively. The e-SUV is also likely to feature Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with collision avoidance technologies like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep alert, auto emergency braking, forward collision warning, and much more. The EV will be locally assembled, so we expect its prices to start from around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom).

Toyota Glanza & Baleno CNG
Toyota is expected to launch the CNG-powered Glanza hatchback during this festive season. Revealed by a recently leaked type approval document, Toyota will offer the Glanza CNG in three manual variants (S, G, V). It will be powered by the same 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine that will make 77PS of maximum power and 98.5Nm of peak torque when running on CNG, a fall of 13PS/14.5Nm from the petrol-only mode. Its sibling rival, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, is also expected to receive the same powertrain option in the near future.
