New BYD E2 Is Fully Electric, Cheaper Than Fiat Moby and Renault Kwid, and Similar to Its Rivals Chevrolet Onix and Hyundai HB20
The automotive market promises to shake the foundations of major automakers. Chevrolet, known for its dominance with models like the Onix, now faces a worthy competitor. The BYD E2 enters the scene, undercutting prices and offering cutting-edge technology. With more affordable prices than the popular Fiat Mobi and Renault Kwid, this launch stands out not only for its price but also for the electric innovation it brings.
Originating from China, the BYD e2 was initially developed for taxi drivers in 2019, but its popularity led it to the general public. Now, when compared to the market leaders in Brazil, Mobi and Kwid, the e2 stands out with an starting price of R$ 63,260, making it an even more economical option. This price drop, from 102,800 yuan to 89,900 yuan, highlights BYD’s commitment to accessibility.

New Competitor of Chevrolet Onix Is Fully Electric
Besides the price, the BYD e2 captivates with what it has under the hood. Fully electric and with sales restricted to the Chinese market, it differentiates itself from the flex models Mobi and Kwid available in Brazil.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

With a 1.0 engine producing 75 hp and costing less than R$ 70,000, Fiat’s car returns to the podium as the cheapest in the country; a temporary promotion for the 2026 Like version reduces the price of the Fiat Mobi.

With a mild hybrid system of 48 V, 176 hp and a price of R$ 175,990 in the Sahara version, the new Jeep Renegade changes mostly on the inside, improves slightly in fuel consumption, and remains almost the same car.

With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.
Despite its unavailability in the national market, interest in the E2 is growing, especially for its potential to represent a more sustainable and economical alternative in Brazilian territory.

However, importing this Chinese vehicle could raise its price due to taxes, a hurdle for its arrival in Brazil. Currently, the BYD Dolphin Mini holds the title of the most affordable electric vehicle in the country, priced around R$ 105,000.
This context reinforces the position of the e2 as a desirable vehicle, whose aesthetics, comparable to the Chevrolet Onix and Hyundai HB20, could secure its success in the Brazilian market, provided it overcomes fiscal challenges.
