The new BYD Atto 2 has just been unveiled, and it’s looking like the perfect fit for drivers who want the practicality of an SUV without the bulk.
Starting at just £30,850, this compact crossover is designed to take on city life with a smile – and maybe even show up a few rivals along the way.
Compact in Size, Big on Style
At roughly 4.3 metres long, the Atto 2 slots neatly between BYD’s Dolphin hatchback and the bigger Atto 3 SUV. Think of it as the middle child in the family.
The Atto 2’s chunky SUV stance, sharp “dragon face” design, and a range of vibrant colours (Hiking Green, anyone?) make it a real head-turner. And with short overhangs and tidy proportions, it’s built to dart around city streets without breaking a sweat.
Inside: Tech, Space, and Comfort
- A 15.6-inch touchscreen that rotates between portrait and landscape – perfect for swapping between Spotify playlists and sat nav.
- A roomy cabin, thanks to BYD’s clever cell-to-body battery design that frees up interior space.
- A 400-litre boot (up to 1,340 litres with seats down) for weekly shops, pushchairs, or that cheeky flat-pack haul.
- Creature comforts like wireless charging, a panoramic roof, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) tech so you can power gadgets on the go.
It’s basically a tech lover’s dream wrapped up in a stylish, compact SUV.
Power, Range, and Charging
The Atto 2 comes with two battery options, both using BYD’s famously safe Blade Battery:
- Boost version: 51.1 kWh, up to 214 miles of range.
- Comfort version: 64.8 kWh, up to 261 miles of range.
In a hurry? A 30–80% top-up can take as little as around 21 minutes with a 155 kW DC charger – ideal for a quick coffee stop.
