Advanced Technology and Features
The BYD ATTO 2 introduces Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology, a first for BYD’s compact SUVs. This innovative design integrates the battery into the vehicle’s chassis, with the battery’s top cover serving as the passenger compartment floor. This enhances body rigidity and optimizes interior space, setting a new standard in the segment. The vehicle also incorporates BYD’s Blade Battery, known for its safety, durability, and performance.
Standard features across both trims include a 12.8-inch rotatable touchscreen, an eight-speaker audio system, ‘Hi BYD’ intelligent voice control, and wireless smartphone charging. The vehicle-to-load (V2L) function allows owners to power external devices, such as a coffee machine or lawnmower, adding practicality for everyday use.

The Boost model, equipped with a 51.1kWh battery, delivers a 214-mile range (WLTP combined) and up to 302 miles in city driving. Its 82kW DC charger enables a 30-80% charge in 30 minutes. The Comfort model, with a 64.8kWh battery, offers an extended 261-mile range and a faster 155kW DC charger, achieving a 30-80% charge in just 21 minutes. Both models feature a front-wheel-drive system, with the Boost producing 130kW of power and 290Nm of torque, while the Comfort delivers 150kW and 310Nm.
