Find chargers on the map →Who it suits
Families who can plug in at home and want a very quick three-row plug-in hybrid SUV. It has a 35.6 kWh battery for about 130 km of electric range, 359 kW, all-wheel drive, 0 to 100 km/h in about 4.9 seconds and an 8 year / 200 000 km battery warranty.
Who should look elsewhere
Buyers who need luggage space with every seat in use (270 litres with all three rows up) or who watch the price. At around R1.26 million it costs about R200 000 more than the Atto 8 Premium, and the test behind the 130 km is not stated.
