Frequently Asked Questions

The BYD ATTO 2 is a compact all-electric SUV positioned below the BYD ATTO 3. It’s built on the same e-Platform 3.0 and uses BYD’s Blade LFP battery, offering urban practicality and efficiency in a smaller, more affordable package.
The BYD ATTO 2 delivers 130–150 kW (174–201 hp) and 290–310 Nm of torque, providing brisk yet smooth acceleration with a 0–100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds. It uses front-wheel drive and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h, making it ideal for both city and highway use.
Depending on the trim, the BYD ATTO 2 range is between 245 km and 310 km (WLTP). Real-world results may vary based on temperature, speed, and terrain. The LFP battery chemistry helps maintain range consistency over time and in colder weather.
Using a Level 3 DC fast charger, the BYD ATTO 2 recharges from 10–80 % in 26–39 minutes. On a Level 2 AC home charger, a full charge takes 5–6 hours. The vehicle supports both AC and DC charging, with a Type 2/CCS2 port for Europe.
The BYD ATTO 2 features the company’s proprietary Blade battery, a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) unit known for thermal stability, long cycle life, and safety. It’s available in 45.1 kWh or 58 kWh capacities, depending on the trim level.
Expert reviews describe the BYD ATTO 2 as comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive, especially in city traffic. Light steering, smooth throttle response, and effective regenerative braking make it a relaxing daily EV, though it’s not designed for sporty handling.
All versions include a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360° camera system. Interior features include heated seats, a heat pump, and wireless phone charging.
The BYD ATTO 2 interior provides 400–450 L of boot space, expandable to over 1,300 L with rear seats folded. It offers a flat rear floor, generous legroom, and comfortable seating for four adults, making it suitable for families or city commuters.
The BYD ATTO 2 price ranges from €31,000 to €35,000, depending on the trim level and market. Its pricing positions it among competitors like the Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia EV3, and Smart #1, offering strong value for its specification and warranty.
The BYD ATTO 2 warranty covers 6 years for the vehicle and 8 years (or 160,000 km) for the battery. This extended coverage reflects BYD’s confidence in the durability of its Blade battery technology and overall build quality.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

BYD ATTO 2 typically comes with high standard specification: heat pump, rotating 12.8-inch screen, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, 360° camera, and more.
Use of BYD’s Blade lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells is praised for thermal stability, cycle durability, and lower reliance on cobalt/nickel.
Flat floor and compact exterior dimensions still allow good rear legroom and a 400 L+ boot (expanding to ~1,340 L) thanks to efficient layout.
Smooth throttle response, easy maneuvering in town, good ride quality on urban roads, and light steering at low speeds.
Reviewers cite consumption of ~4.0–5.0 mi/kWh (or equivalent) in mixed driving, aided by heat pump and efficient architecture.
Strong warranty terms (e.g. 6 years on car, 8 years on battery) boost ownership confidence.
The Comfort version supports up to ~155 kW DC fast charging, reducing 10–80 % charging times significantly.

Cons:

Several reviewers and forum voices note that the BYD ATTO 2 is priced higher than many competing compact EVs, narrowing its value advantage.
On faster roads, testers mention wallow, understeer, and limited composure in cornering at speed.
Small icons, awkward menu layouts, and the rotating screen’s behavior (e.g. auto-swivel when using CarPlay) draw criticism.
The car is acceptable in urban/junction driving, but aero and mirror noise become noticeable at motorway speeds.
Some consumers and reviewers note needing to explain “BYD” to people, and concern over aftersales support (service network, parts) in newer markets.
