2026 BYD Atto 2 Electric SUV To Undercut Petrol Mitsubishi ASX By Thousands

24 Oct 2025 | Abstracted from Drive

The 2026 BYD Atto 2 electric SUV is set to launch in Australia at under AU$35,000 - making it AU$12,000 cheaper than the petrol-powered Mitsubishi ASX. BYD aims to disrupt the compact SUV market by offering affordable EVs with competitive features. The Atto 2 will be smaller than the Atto 3 and is expected to debut in early 2026. This pricing strategy could accelerate EV adoption by making electric options more accessible to mainstream buyers.
