The BYD Atto 2 has been spotted once again on public roads with significantly less camo on the small electric SUV. New spyshots have been captured showing much more detail than before including the true overall dimensions and rear design of the vehicle. Previous sightings were not very revealing, showing us a heavily disguised test mule and only really gave us a glimpse of the front bumper. However, these new photos show us the vehicle with much less disguise.
We can now see the true side profile, greenhouse, rear quarter panels and tailgate design along with the rear light signature. This suggests developments are progressing smoothly towards production. Once in showrooms, the Atto 2 will play an important role as an entry level option within the BYD passenger vehicle range. Sitting below the popular model Atto 3, the Atto 2 will offer the Chinese brand a more affordable electric option within the fiercely competitive small crossover SUV market.
The Atto 2 will be offered with the option of two different battery sizes globally. Customers will be able to select between a 45.1kWh battery and larger 64.8kWh option. The larger battery size is predicted to offer customers a WLTP certified range of up to 430km. This makes the vehicle one of the more practical options within the class. The vehicle will also offer 155kW fast charging speeds helping owners fill up a large chunk of their battery in a short amount of time.
From the added detail we’re seeing on the design now, it appears the Atto 2 is being carefully designed to offer a more affordable option within the electric SUV market. BYD hope to appeal to more customers looking for modern electric vehicles but with affordability in mind.
