Overview

• The Atto 1 will arrive in Australian showrooms in November alongside the already-confirmed Atto 2 small electric SUV.
• BYD Australia COO Stephen Collins says the Atto 1 will be the nation’s most affordable EV by a clear margin, with local pricing and specifications still to be announced.
• Reporters estimate a possible A$20,000–A$25,000 starting price based on overseas positioning below the A$29,990 Dolphin, though Australian pricing remains unconfirmed.
• Overseas versions use a single front‑wheel‑drive motor and BYD Blade LFP batteries around 30–43.2kWh with WLTP ranges near 220–321km, with Australian configuration yet to be detailed.
• BYD will launch its Denza premium brand locally in November and has locked in Sealion 5 and Sealion 8 PHEVs for early 2026, expanding the Australian line-up toward 10 models.
