BYD Atto 1 Comparison

The BYD Atto 1 is a light electric hatchback pitched as the most affordable way into BYD’s Australian lineup. A limited drive-away campaign has seen the entry-level Atto 1 Essential advertised from $19,990 drive-away, making it Australia’s cheapest new car and cheapest EV while the offer is available. Its compact footprint suits urban driving, inner-city parking and short daily commutes, with an electric drivetrain delivering quiet, smooth progress and zero tailpipe emissions. Sitting below the Dolphin, the Atto 1 is best suited to singles, couples, students and households wanting an inexpensive second car with new-car backing. It is focused on low-cost metropolitan transport, so buyers planning regular long-distance trips or family duties may be better served by a larger EV.
