WATT MATTERS?

The ATTO 1 changes the entry point to new-car ownership in Australia. A small, fully electric hatch at a price associated with basic petrol cars is a bigger story than its modest size suggests.

THE BASICS

Essential and Premium versions offer different power and range figures, with quoted WLTP claims of 220km and 310km. Its four-seat city-car format prioritises affordability and urban usefulness over long-distance touring.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

This is the kind of EV that could bring electric motoring to a much wider audience. Choose the variant carefully: the Premium's extra range may matter more than the lowest advertised price.
