BYD Australia says it has not sacrificed vehicle quality to price the Atto 2 DM-i as the country’s cheapest plug-in hybrid. The small SUV launched from A$24,990 before on-road costs, and less than two weeks later gained a A$25,990 drive-away offer that could save buyers about A$3,000. Company executives said the price was intended to make the model accessible and competitive, rather than to secure the cheapest-PHEV title.
