BYD Unveils Compact ATTO 2 SUV for European Market
The ATTO 2, equipped with BYD's Blade Battery technology, will launch in February, targeting the competitive B-SUV segment in Europe and the UK.
- The BYD ATTO 2, a rebranded version of the Yuan Up, was introduced at the Brussels Motor Show and will go on sale in Europe and the UK starting February 2025.
- The compact SUV features BYD's proprietary Blade Battery and Cell-to-Body (CTB) construction, enhancing space efficiency and vehicle rigidity.
- Initial models will include a 45.1 kWh battery with a WLTP range of 312 km (194 miles), with a larger battery option expected in the coming months for extended range.
- The ATTO 2 is positioned between the BYD Dolphin and ATTO 3 in terms of pricing, with an anticipated starting price under £30,000 in the UK.
- The vehicle will compete in the B-SUV segment against models like the Peugeot e-2008, Kia EV3, and Renault R4, as BYD continues its European expansion despite increased tariffs on Chinese-built EVs.
