THE INDIA EXPO MART IN GREATER NOIDA hosted the official opening of Auto Expo 2023 and the public at large was allowed access on 13 January. Over 6.36 lakh people attended the 16th edition of India's premier car show, setting a new attendance record. Additionally, 82 automobiles had their global or Indian début at the event.

Despite the absence of premium car-makers and mass-market two-wheeler manufacturers, the Auto Expo 2023 attracted a large number of visitors. It is important to note that the previous Auto Expo, held in 2020, had attracted 6.08 lakh people.

Along with the Chinese duo, the SAIC-owned MG Motor India and BYD Auto, significant automakers, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor, Tata Motors, Kia, Toyota, and Lexus were present at the Expo.

The world's largest manufacturer of electric vehicles, BYD (Build Your Dreams), held the début of the Seal sedan, dubbed a competitor to Tesla's Model 3, at the Auto Expo 2023. The car will be formally introduced in India in the fourth quarter of this year and sales will get under way simultaneously, according to the firm.

The Seal's price in the Indian market will also be made public by the end of this year. The car's design is said to be influenced by BYD's "ocean aesthetics" design language.

BYD India also unveiled the Atto 3 Special Edition, priced at Rs 34.49 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes in a special Forest Green exterior paint finish. Only 1,200 units will be available.
