BYD Atto 1: Cheap and cheerful new EV expected to get top safety marks

The 2026 BYD Atto 1 will be priced from as little as $25,000 when it’s launched in November, but it recently achieved a maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating against the latest 2025 assessment criteria, and given ANCAP’s criteria is generally aligned with its European affiliate, the pint-size electric hatch should get a similar rating here.
