    BYD Atto 1

    The BYD Atto 1 is the brand's smallest and most affordable electric car in Australia, aimed at city buyers who want low running costs and easy dimensions. It sits below the Dolphin in BYD's local lineup, with a compact hatchback body, a simple two-variant range and pricing that puts it close to many petrol-powered light cars. The Atto 1 is designed for urban use first: easy to park, efficient in traffic and practical enough for commuting or a small household. It is not intended as a long-distance family EV, but its appeal is accessibility. For buyers wanting a new electric car with a modest footprint and mainstream pricing, the Atto 1 gives BYD a strong entry point.

    For the money, this could be the best entry-level EV in Australia. It is not just cheap. It is good.
