BYD has introduced the Atto 2 to Europe, the brand's most accessible SUV yet. Introduced to the public at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show, the vehicle, according to BYD, is designed for customers who want the raised ride height of an SUV but in an affordable package that is tailored to urban streets and parking arrangements, complimenting the larger Atto 3 in its expanding lineup.
Measurements-wise, the Atto 2 is 4,310mm long, 1,830mm wide, and 1,675mm tall - 145mm shorter and 45mm slimmer than the Atto 3 - with a wheelbase of 2,620mm. The new SUV's front features neatly integrated full-LED head lights and slim daytime-running lights, and its front bumper has sharp angles for a dynamic look, along with bright highlights low down and efficiency-boosting vertical air curtains at the outer edges.
The sides of the Atto 2 have lower cladding - broken up by highlights - to help accentuate the height of the car while maintaining a look of agility
At the rear, a roof spoiler sits above a full-width light bar joining 'Chinese knot' taillights and a Mobius Infinity Ring. The Atto 2 comes in Climbing Grey paint as standard, with three shades - Hiking Green, Skiing White, and Cosmos Black - available as options.
In its interior, the cabin features padded surfaces in all key areas and integrated handles in the front and rear doors as well as in the lower centre console, which contains a pair of cup-holders and an integrated arm rest that can open up to reveal one of several storage areas. Designed with EVs in mind, BYD's e-Platform 3.0 has a completely flat floor so the rear seats remain practical enough for family use. Beyond that, the Atto 2's boot measures 400 litres, and can be increased to 1,340 litres when the split folding rear seat is lowered.
The Atto 2's drive selector has a sophisticated cut-diamond look, while the area surrounding it incorporates hard keys for functions such as the windscreen de-mister and volume knob for the sound system
The car features a Blade Battery and, for the first time in a compact BYD model, Cell-to-Body construction, which integrates the battery completely into the vehicle chassis, delivering improved packaging and exceptional levels of body rigidity. The Atto 2 will also be offered with a choice of two Blade Battery sizes. At launch, the standard range edition will have a rated capacity of 45.1kWh, delivering a WLTP range of 312km, with its front-mounted motor producing 130kW (174bhp).
In the coming months, a larger-battery version of the Atto 2 will arrive, offering even greater range. Full specifications on this model, along with details on the Atto 2's extensive standard-equipment lists and range structure, will be announced in the coming weeks, to coincide with the full European launch of the car in February 2025.
