BYD Expands Atto 2 Lineup With Longer-Range 'Comfort' EV and Two Plug-In Hybrids

Faster DC charging improves usability, with new options positioned to attract buyers who want more range choice.

Overview

  • The new Atto 2 Comfort adds a 64.8 kWh battery for about 430 km WLTP, a 150 kW motor, and roughly 150–155 kW DC charging, priced from €41,990.
  • BYD cites 30–80% charging in 19 minutes and 10–80% in about 25 minutes under ideal conditions, a step up that reviewers still rate as mid‑pack.
  • Two plug‑in hybrids join the range: a base 122 kW model with a 7.8 kWh battery for about 40 km electric at €35,990, and a 156 kW version with 18 kWh for about 90 km at around €38,990.
  • AC charging on the PHEVs is single‑phase only at 3.3 kW or 6.6 kW, which results in slower charging than some competitors.
  • Top speed is limited to 160 km/h for the Comfort EV and 180 km/h for the PHEVs, and the Comfort includes vehicle‑to‑load capability and a heat pump as standard.
