BYD ATTO 1 & ATTO 2 Bring EV Price Parity to Australia! - CleanTechnica

BYD has launched two electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia—the ATTO 1 (also known as Seagull/Dolphin Mini) starting at AUD 23,990 (approximately USD 15,661) and the ATTO 2 (also known as Yuan Up/Yuan Pro) starting at AUD 31,990 (around USD 20,884). When including on-the-road costs such as taxes and fees, the ATTO 1 is priced at AUD 26,532, which is still significantly cheaper than comparable hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars like the Mazda 2. Similarly, the ATTO 2’s total cost of AUD 34,772 remains below or comparable to similar HEVs and ICE SUVs. These BYD models also come better equipped, effectively eliminating the traditional price advantage of legacy ICE vehicles in the Australian market. This pricing strategy marks a significant milestone in EV affordability, as it brings EV prices to parity
