#atto1
Part of that question is "at which price point?"

It's hard to answer what a car will cost in a given country. The same Seagull/Atto1 that is $9500 in China is $22K-$26K in various EU countries (and $190k in Sinagpore, which a Corolla is also $100k.)

Terribly sad that USA bans the excellent EVs coming out of China!
$A19990 drive-away for a BYD Atto1 compact (lowest-priced car of any type in Australia).
$A32000 for an MG4.
$A63900 for the luxurious Zeekr 7X Long-range.

Just keep it in mind for the future.
BYD Atto1 is $19990 on the road.
220-310 km range (it is a city compact really).

Man come to Australia where Chinese EVs can be had. The BYD Atto1 is the LOWEST-priced car on the market (car, not EV)!
#$A 19,990 drive-away. Would be about #$US 10K.

Right now new EVs are at about price-parity with ICE cars…..

Can you imagine if we still had the CCD, an atto1 for ~$17500 on the road?

I'm all about what's that nice middle ground between a carmaker working very hard for my money and a nice vehicle. Atto1 and MG4 are a pretty big contrast between interiors, total range, etc. I wasn't hunting for the cheapest per-say, just impressed how much this reminded me of my Golf/R32 days.

options? atto1, mg4 dongfeng 007, etc there are non suv choices out there even a few basic hatchbacks now

I think it's also important to keep in mind that the spec of the really cheap Chinese models are often the lowest trim of the model they sell in China and differ to export models.

Eg: BYD Seagull (aka Atto1): Model offered outside of China is bigger, more powerful, safer etc, hence more expensive.
As BYD Cancels & Introduces Chinese Models, Global Product Diverges - CleanTechnica
BYD’s mainstream models in overseas markets are now clearly diverging from their offerings at home, with a few notable examples.

I hope they keep the seagull name, I don’t want an atto1.

The working class can pay 30k for a petrol Golf but not 30k for a BYD Atto1?

0-100kph in 6ish seconds? Don't think an Atto1 would "blow the doors off" a Raptor. Hate the things but…

Wait three years until atto1's start coming off leases - this problem goes away then.
February 5, 2026 at 6:34 AM
I just love that a 25k Atto1 will still blow the doors off a raptor. Hell our 15 year old Volkswagen toureg will still blow the doors off a raptor.

I looked at one and they're terribly upright. Sit up and beg, much like the old Honda City.

It's the SUVing of cars and I'm not a fan.

But aside from the no-longer available Pug e-205 it's the Atto1 that is most useful I suspect.

I think he said he'd do a compare/contrast Atto1 with the Box.

I don't like the look of the Ora so for me that one's out. But this... blimey!

BYD ATTO1
May 3, 2026 at 9:44 AM
BYD ATTO1. In neon pine lime. I found black, white or powder blue boring
May 3, 2026 at 7:49 AM
I'd go with the BYD Atto1. Sounds perfect to me
December 5, 2025 at 3:23 AM
Atto1 looks awesome. What a cool little car.
March 29, 2026 at 7:53 AM
The cheapest BYD I believe now about $24k, Atto1 I think? But only about 200km range - entry level EV atm.
March 2, 2026 at 12:29 AM
What ya getting? The wife’s Atto1 arrives next week and given diesel for the truck is now ~$3/litre timing is also good!
