The BYD Atto 8 is being offered in two distinct editions. A Premium DM-i and Performance DM-p derivative. The Premium lands at R1 059 000, and the Performance comes in at R1 259 000.
Now this is the part where I would normally tell you all about my drive and what I experienced at the media launch of this premium, high-performance SUV. But in a bizarre twist of events, we were only given a 5 km route to drive, in convoy, with a chaperone, in the suburbs, and at no faster than 60 km/h.
So, what I can tell you next is basically what is listed on paper for the BYD Atto 8. Hopefully we will be allocated a test unit in the coming weeks, and then we can bring you a proper driving impression a car like this deserves.
