BYD Atto 2 is an electric SUV, which has been unveiled in the European market and could come to India as a potential challenger to the upcoming Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and Hyundai Creta EV.

BYD has showcased its Atto 2 electric SUV at the Brussels Motor Show, which has fuelled speculation about its potential in the Indian market. The Chinese electric carmaker currently sells the larger BYD Atto 3 in India and may plan to bring this midsize electric SUV to the country to enhance its market share in the bulging Indian electric vehicle space. If launched in India, the BYD Atto 2 will compete with the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and Hyundai Creta Electric. The BYD Atto 2 will be launched in Europe next month.

BYD Atto 2: Design and features

Compared to the BYD Atto 3, which is available in the Indian market and measures 4,455 mm in length, the BYD Atto 2 electric SUV has a length of 4,310 mm. It is 1,830 mm wide and 1,675 mm tall.

Speaking of the design, the BYD Atto 2 comes with a silhouette that is similar to the Atto 3. The new electric SUV gets similar LED headlamps and black cladding. Silver accents on the cladding come as new styling bits. Besides that, there are pull-type door handles. Other design elements include connected LED taillights and a rear spoiler that has raised ends. It also has a faux diffuser at the back with silver accents on it.

BYD is yet to confirm if the Atto 2 gets an ADAS suite or not. It has a boot capacity of 400 litres.

BYD Atto 2: Battery and specification

The BYD Atto 2 EV will be available with a single front-wheel drive motor paired with a 45.1 kWh Blade Cell battery pack. The electric motor is capable of churning out around 174 bhp peak power, while the battery pack is capable of offering a 312-kilometre range on a single charge. BYD is also expected to bring a long-range version of the EV, which would promise around 400-kilometre range on a full charge.
