Chinese EV maker, BYD has revealed the new Atto 2 crossover in China. The new BYD Atto 2 is said to be a small value-focussed electric crossover and will go on sale in the Chinese market later this year.
As the name suggests, the new BYD Atto 2 will be positioned below the popular Atto 3. The new Atto 2 is said to be based on BYD's third-gen electric car platform 'e-platform 3.0'. In China, the EV will be sold as the 'Yuan Up' and will measure 4,310 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width and 1,675 mm in height.
While the carmaker is yet to officially unveil the details of its upcoming EV, regulatory filings reveal that the BYD Atto 2 will come with a single electric motor at the front, producing either 94 BHP or 174 BHP. The EV will be powered by its own Blade battery with either 32 kWH or 45.1 kWh capacity offering 300 km and 400 km of range, respectively.
The BYD Atto 2 is also expected to go on sale in Europe sometime in 2025. Reports suggest the Atto 2 in the UK could be priced at around 30,000 GBP.
The Atto 2 will take on the likes of the Jeep Avenger and the Volkswagen ID.2X.
