CONFIRMED: BYD ATTO 1 & ATTO 2 AUSTRALIA SPECS | PRICING SPECULATION?

EV Channels Review

The Ludicrous Feed channel provides an in-depth look at the upcoming BYD Atto 1 and Atto 2 for the Australian market. The Atto 1, also known as the Seagull or Dolphin Surf overseas, is presented as an entry-level, compact urban vehicle available in Essential and Premium variants. It features a 30 kWh battery, 65-115 kW power output, and a claimed range of 220-310 km. The Atto 2 is positioned as a compact crossover, measuring 4.3 meters, with a 51 kWh battery, 345 km range, and 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. Both are front-wheel drive. The reviewers emphasize that pricing is crucial for these models to compete effectively, particularly the Atto 1, with hopes of it falling under $25,000, ideally sub-$20,000 to challenge petrol cars. While the Atto 2's specs are deemed sensible for its segment, the reviewers express a preference for rear-wheel drive dynamics, a feature absent in both models. The Atto 1 is highlighted for its potential as a first car or urban runabout, while the Atto 2 is seen as a versatile small SUV, though not particularly inspirational in design. BYD's strategy of offering a wide range of vehicles across segments is acknowledged.
