PARIS, Feb 25 (Reuters) - BYD will launch its new electric compact SUV in France at a starting price of 28,990 euros ($30,358), said the director of BYD's sales network in France.
The car, named Atto 2, is the group's most accessible SUV yet and will add a competitive product on the European B SUV segment. It was presented on Tuesday in Paris' La Défense Arena.
Its starting price is 5,000 euros lower than the Kia Niro's, 6,000 euros less than the Opel Mokka-e and 7,000 euros less than the Peugeot e-2008, though those two last cars from Stellantis are eligible to French incentives of up to 4,000 euros.
But the Stellantis Citroen e-C3 will remain around 6,000 euros cheaper than the Atto 2, even before incentives from which the Citroen car can benefit.
