BYD Atto 2 priced! Australia’s most affordable electric SUV costs thousands less than Leapmotor B10, Chery E5

---

BYD showrooms will soon host both Australia’s cheapest fully electric passenger car in the $23,990 Atto 1 but also the nation’s most affordable electric SUV in its bigger brother — the Atto 2, which will kick off from $27,990 plus on-road costs.

The 4310mm-long and Hyundai Kona-sized Atto 2 is a larger and more sophisticated proposition than the Atto 1, packing a larger battery and a considerably more powerful electric motor.

The BYD ATTO 2 just landed in Australia from $31,990 and we checked it out in person. It’s a small SUV, 345 km range and decent cabin tech. Is this the sweet spot for Aussie families going electric? 🔋🇦🇺 BYD ATTO2 SUV CarTok cars

Two grades of Atto 2 will be sold in Australia with both making use of a 51.1kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) BYD Blade battery promising up to 345km (WLTP) range.

Charging speeds are middling, rated at 7kW (AC) or 82kW peak (DC) with a 10-80 percent rapid charge achievable in 39 minutes. Vehicle-to-load discharging is possible.

The pair also share a 130kW/290Nm front electric motor with a reasonably spirited 7.9 second 0-100km/h time, partially thanks to reasonably light weight of 1555kg or 1590kg depending on specification.

Boot space measures 380 litres with all five seats in place or 1320 litres with the second row folded 60/40. Payload is 410kg for both variants of Atto 2, with both the Dynamic entry grade and Premium upper-spec model nabbing all-round disc brakes, MacPherson strut-type front suspension and a torsion-bar rear suspension.

Standard spec for the Atto 2 Dynamic ($31,990 + ORCs) includes 16-inch alloy wheels (in 215/65 R16 Westlake tyres), LED headlights, artificial leather seating with a six-way manual driver’s seat, 10.1-inch touchscreen, 8.8-inch digital cluster, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, a four-speaker stereo, and voice control.

The cheapest Atto 2 also scores automatic wipers, floor mats, an FB/DAB radio (no AM fitted), keyless entry and start plus an NFC/digital key, climate control with rear air vents, a heat pump, and a tyre repair kit rather than a spare.

Spending $4000 more on the Atto 2 Premium ($35,990 + ORCs) adds further luxuries in the form of a bigger 12.8-inch touchscreen, eight-speaker stereo, 50-watt wireless phone charger, heated and cooled front seats with a six-way power driver’s chair, panoramic glass roof with shade, roof rails and Hankook tyres.

Both trim grades are fitted with front, side and side curtain airbags, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, AEB, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert and brake intervention, blind spot monitoring, and tyre pressure monitoring. The Premium adds a 360-degree camera, plus front sensors.

Servicing arrangements and costs are yet to be announced. BYD’s warranties in Australia are six years/150,000km (vehicle) and eight years/160,000km (traction battery
