Design and Dimensions

Dimension-wise, the Atto 2 measures 4310 mm long, 1830 mm wide, and 1675 mm tall, making it comparable in size to the likes of the Hyundai Creta EV and Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara. Visually, the Atto 2’s design appears to be more sober when compared with a few other models in BYD’s portfolio. The front end features conventional LED headlamps that are merged with a sash black element. The vehicle’s silhouette is quite upright, sporting a flat roofline, with short front and rear overhangs. The vehicle sports cladding around the wheel arches and towards the lower side of its body. Towards the rear, the vehicle gets a connected tail lamp setup.

Features

On the inside, the Atto 2 gets a rotating 15.6-inch touchscreen, similar to a few other models in BYD’s global portfolio. Other features include a digital instrument cluster, wireless charger, Level 1 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and a head-up display.

Powertrain, Battery Pack and Range

While the Atto 2 will initially solely be sold with a 45 kWh battery pack in the European market, the company stated that it will soon introduce a long-range version of the SUV. The 45 kWh battery pack delivers a claimed range of 312 km and powers a 175 bhp electric motor that drives the front wheels.

India Launch

While there is no confirmation as of now, the growing demand for the Chinese carmaker’s vehicles in the Indian market might influence its decision to bring the EV to Indian shores. BYD’s next launch in the Indian market will be the Sealion 7, which will be launched in India by the first quarter of 2025. The manufacturer plans to showcase the vehicle on January 17 at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo.
