BYD Sets New EV Price Floor in Australia With Atto 1 and Atto 2

Pre-orders open with first deliveries due within weeks at list prices that undercut many petrol competitors.

Overview

  • BYD priced the Atto 1 from $23,990 and the Atto 2 from $31,990 before on-road costs, making them the cheapest new electric car and electric SUV in Australia.
  • The Atto 1 offers a 30kWh version rated at 220km WLTP and a 43.2kWh upgrade rated at 310km, while the Atto 2 uses a 51.3kWh pack for a claimed 345km WLTP range.
  • Pre-orders are live and showroom arrivals are slated for December 2025, with first deliveries expected in the coming weeks.
  • Advertised prices exclude on-road costs, whereas some rivals promote drive-away deals, a distinction that influences direct price comparisons.
  • BYD backs the models with a six-year/150,000km vehicle warranty and an eight-year/160,000km battery warranty, as coverage notes the pricing undercuts rivals including BYD’s own Dolphin and the Chery E5.
