Did you know KIA SA 🇿🇦 sold more than 3,500 Sonets in its first year? 🔥 That's basically 10 a day! 😉 Not bad, KIA! 👏

⚡️🇿🇦 SA's CHEAPEST HYBRID HAS ARRIVED! 🇿🇦⚡️

The all-new BYD ATTO 2 (DM-i) has entered the market from just R449,900! .. making plug-in hybrid technology more accessible than ever before! ⚡️

Combining a 1.5L petrol-engine with an electric-motor,
the compact SUV promises impressive fuel efficiency, up to 930 km of combined driving range, and the ability to drive short daily trips on electric power alone. 🚗🔋

With fuel prices remaining a major concern for South African motorists, could the Atto 2 be the sweet spot between a traditional petrol car and a fully electric vehicle?

Would you consider a Chinese (plug-in) hybrid like this?
