BYD has officially launched ATTO 2 in the UK market, where its start is £ 30,850 (about ₹ 32.5 lakh), which is for the base boost variant, while the high end comfort trim is priced £ 34,950 (about ₹ 41.3 lakh). Atto 2 is part of a strategic change for 2 byd, moving beyond the luxury electric vehicle segment, including models like Atto 3, Seal, and Sealion 7. Built on the Advance E-Platform 3.0 architecture of Byd, this compact SUV is 4,310mm long, 1,830mm wide and 1,675mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,620mm. These dimensions make it stand with players like Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv Ev, and Mg ZS EV.
Byd has prepared two separate battery configurations for Atto 2, which meet the needs and price points of different range. The base boost variant has a 51.1kwh blade battery pack that offers a 345km Wltp-approved range, while the comfort model has a 64.8kwh battery that increases the range by 420km. Both variants use front-wheel drive configurations, which are powered from single electric motor that generates 174bhp and 290Nm torque.
80 % charge in 30 minutes
The boost model 82kw DC supports fast charging, causing 30–80% battery charge in 30 minutes, while the advance 155kw charging system of comfort variants reduces this time by only 21 minutes. Both variants include BYD's signature blade battery technology, which has been engineered for safety, stability and thermal efficiency.
