Price Breakdown
The Chery Tiggo 4 starts from $21,750 (our estimated RRP; the brand lists drive-away prices only) before on-road costs, while the BYD Atto 2 opens at $31,990. Both land at the same RRP, so on-road costs and dealer deals become the real differentiator.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $23,925 and $35,189 respectively.
The BYD Atto 2 currently qualifies for the electric-vehicle FBT exemption, which can dramatically reduce the effective cost for novated lease buyers. The Chery Tiggo 4 does not: only battery-electric vehicles qualify.
