In Aus the Atto 3 Essential, before on-road costs, is $40k AUD. Is it a lot higher in the UK?
Yep - cheapest Atto 3 model in the UK is £37,695 on the road price, which is around $77,587 AUD. Even with dealer cuts (30%?) seems super expensive compared to rest of the world. Something is not adding up.
That’s insane. I have one on order in Aus and test driving it was great. Apparently it’s even cheaper in China so no idea how you’re getting screwed over here. I would definitely look at other options at that price.
