Looking for a brand new car around the $30k mark? Before you settle for another petrol hatchback (yawn, Suzuki Swift) meet the BYD Atto 1, the small car that's big on value, safety, technology and running cost savings.
 
Priced from just $29,990, the Atto 1 offers something most competitors in this price bracket simply can't, fully electric driving. That means no expensive petrol stops, no engine noise and significantly lower running costs. Simply plug in at home and wake up to a "full tank" every morning.
 
Where many small cars feel basic, the Atto 1 brings a modern high-tech interior with a large touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, digital driver display and smart connectivity features that make every drive feel properly 2020s.
 
Safety hasn't been forgotten either. The 5-star rated Atto 1 is packed with advanced driver assistance technology including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist and multiple airbags to give you peace of mind for commuting, road trips and everything in between. Do you, your family and friends really want to be driving some other new car with only a 3-star safety rating (shame on you Suzuki Swift)??
 
Ownership confidence is another huge win. The Atto 1 comes with a 6-year / 150,000km vehicle warranty plus an 8-year battery warranty and roadside assistance, giving you long-term reassurance that most petrol hatchbacks simply can't match.
 
And thanks to the smooth instant torque of electric power, it's quiet, responsive and surprisingly fun to drive.
 
So, if you're comparing new small cars like the usual petrol options, it might be time to ask yourself.... why buy fuel when you could just plug in?
 
The BYD Atto 1, the safer, smarter, quieter, quicker and cheaper to run option.
Your future self (and your fuel budget) will thank you.
