Atto 1 Premium - seat height adjustment question (Australia)

Waste-Poetry-7235 | 2026-03-17 03:12 | 7 views

A family member is considering buying an Atto 1 premium. She is very short and worried that she will not be able to have good visibility out of the car. She worries about the visor being too thin and, combined with the height issue, be blinded by the sun. Otherwise, the car looks really good for her. The standard option apparently does not have height adjustment and is the only one available for a test drive, hence the question. Any owners that have a premium - could you let me know how much height adjustment there is and how high it goes at full range? The family member is about 4'10 foot approx. Any experiences from short people out there also appreciated!

Honesty didn’t even notice I could adjust the height. I’ll have a look when I go out later if you get no other replies

It's not a car for her, unless she has someone in mind she wants to run over.

Why is that? Is the visibility not great?

Thanks very much - appreciate it!

If she tried the car and can't see the front then what do you expect me to do? She needs to find a car that will make her drive safely.

She hasn't tried the car yet. She is anticipating a potential issue. She's had problems with some cars given her height - the lack of adjustment on the standard model means she wouldn't buy that car, but is interested in the premium because it has height adjustment.

Go back in for a test drive and get Her in the premium. There's no other way to do it properly.

Yeah, fair. They don't have one unfortunately but worth asking if they can get one.

Ring around if you're in a city there's multiple BYD dealerships.
