BYD to Launch Affordable Atto 2 Electric SUV in France
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is set to launch its new Atto 2 electric compact crossover in the French market. According to a representative from BYD’s regional sales network, the vehicle will have a starting price of €28,990 (approximately $30,358). This aggressive pricing strategy positions the Atto 2 as a more affordable option compared to key rivals such as the Kia Niro EV and the Peugeot e-2008. The announcement follows BYD's significant presence at the Paris car show last October, where it showcased its lineup including the Sea Lion 07 sport utility vehicle. Since late 2023, BYD has been selling three other EV models in France: the Atto 3 crossover, the Han sedan, and the Tang SUV. As part of its broader expansion strategy, the company aims to establish 100 sales locations across France, which is the eurozone’s second-largest economy. This move underscores BYD's commitment to strengthening its foothold in the European automotive market by offering competitive pricing and expanding its retail infrastructure to reach a wider consumer base.
