The new electric SUV officially went on sale in the UK on Tuesday. BYD revealed Atto 2 prices will start from £30,850, undercutting much of the competition.
BYD Atto 2 prices and range in the UK
After introducing the Atto 2 at the Brussels Motor Show in January, BYD said it’s “opening a new chapter in green travel” in Europe.
The compact electric SUV will fill the gap in BYD’s lineup between the Dolphin and its larger Atto 3 SUV. It went on sale in China last year and is now available in Europe and the UK.
BYD announced Atto 2 prices start at £30,850 ($41,500) on-the-road (OTR). It’s available in two trims: Boost and Comfort. Upgrading to the more premium Comfort model will cost you £34,950 ($47,000).
The base Boost models are powered by a 51.1 kWh BYD Blade battery, offering a range of up to 214 miles. In the city, BYD said the Atto 2 can drive up to 302 miles on a single charge. Comfort models are equipped with a larger 64.8 kWh battery, delivering up to 261 miles of range.
With a 155 kW DC fast charger, BYD said the electric SUV can recharge from 30% to 80% in as little as 21 minutes.
All Atto 2 models come with a 12.8″ floating touchscreen, wireless smartphone charger, and “Hi BYD” AI voice control. With vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities, BYD said the electric SUV can power up a coffee maker or lawnmower.
With prices starting at just £30,850, BYD undercuts rival models, including the Hyundai Kona Electric (£34,995). However, according to Autocar, BYD is not necessarily targeting Hyundai. It’s aiming for more premium models, such as the Volvo EX30, which starts at £33,060.
| BYD Atto 2 trim | Range (combined) | Starting Price (OTR) |
| Comfort | 214 miles | £30,850 ($41,500) |
| Boost | 261 miles | £34,950 ($47,000) |
Measuring 4,310 mm long, 1,830 mm wide, and 1,675 mm tall, the Atto 2 is about the same size as the Volvo EX30. However, BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 enables more interior space with an extended wheelbase.
The Boost trim is available to order now, while the Comfort model will arrive later this year. BYD will begin deliveries in September.
The Atto 2’s arrival in the UK comes after BYD launched it in Hong Kong earlier this month, undercutting Tesla’s cheapest vehicle by about 30%.
