BYD Atto 2
Brussels, February 7, 2025 — BYD, the global leader in new energy vehicles (NEVs), has officially unveiled its latest addition to the European market: the BYD Atto 2, a compact all-electric SUV designed to bridge the gap between the Dolphin hatchback and Atto 3 crossover. Available in Active and Boost trims, the Atto 2 combines cutting-edge technology, striking design, and competitive pricing to challenge rivals like the Renault Megane E-Tech and Peugeot e-2008.
Key Features & Specifications
1. Performance & Efficiency
Powered by a 130 kW front-mounted motor (174 hp, 290 Nm torque), the Atto 2 accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h. Its 45.12 kWh LFP Blade Battery delivers a 312 km WLTP-rated range, extending to 463 km in urban conditions. Charging flexibility includes 65 kW DC fast charging (30%–80% in 28 minutes) and 11 kW AC slow charging.
2. Design & Dimensions
The Atto 2 features BYD’s signature Dragon Face 3.0 design language, with a high hood, black lower cladding for rugged appeal, and a floating roof effect created by blacked-out D-pillars. Measuring 4,310 mm (L) × 1,830 mm (W) × 1,675 mm (H) with a 2,620 mm wheelbase, it offers ample cabin space and a 400L–1,340L expandable trunk. The rear lights, inspired by the Möbius ring, symbolize "boundless good fortune" for drivers.
3. Trim Configurations
Active (Base Trim):
Includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, leather seats, rearview camera, and six airbags.
Boost (Premium Trim):
Upgrades to a 12.8-inch rotatable touchscreen, heated steering wheel, 360° camera, front radar, ambient lighting, and an 8-speaker sound system.
Both trims feature vegan leather interiors, a panoramic sunroof, and BYD’s Blade Battery technology, renowned for passing rigorous safety tests like the nail penetration trial.
BYD’s European lineup now includes nine NEV models, with the Atto 2 reinforcing its commitment to sustainable mobility. Deliveries will commence in select markets this month, followed by a full rollout across the continent.
