ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Atto 3 Evo's promise of more performance and fun will likely resonate with Australian buyers who are increasingly looking for EVs that can deliver on driving excitement.

BYD's expansion of the Atto 2 range with plug-in hybrid variants will put pressure on other OEMs to respond with their own hybrid offerings, potentially disrupting the market and creating new opportunities for dealers.

What it means for the order bank

The Atto 2 DM-i's combined range of 895km will be a major selling point for dealers, as it addresses one of the primary concerns of Australian buyers: range anxiety.

The addition of two plug-in hybrid variants to the Atto 2 range will give dealers more options to offer customers who are not yet ready to make the switch to full EVs.

Competitor response and market dynamics

Dealers can expect other Chinese brands to follow BYD's lead and expand their own EV and hybrid offerings in Australia, increasing competition and potentially driving down prices.

Action plan

This week, dealers should review their current EV and hybrid stock and consider placing orders for the Atto 3 Evo and Atto 2 DM-i to capitalize on the growing demand for these types of vehicles.
