BYD Atto 2 Spied Testing: What We Know So Far About This Electric SUV | V3Cars
BYD looks set to expand their Indian portfolio as a camouflaged BYD Atto 2 electric SUV was recently spotted testing on Indian soil. This marks the Atto 2’s first appearance in the country, hinting at a potential launch in the coming months. Positioned below the Atto 3, the Atto 2 is set to enter the competitive C-segment, challenging rivals like the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV as well as the upcoming Maruti Suzuki e Vitara.

BYD Atto 2: What Is It?
Globally, the Atto 2 is known by different names, including Yuan Up in China and Yuan Pro in Brazil. It made its debut at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show, showcasing BYD’s latest advancements in electric mobility.
If launched in India, the Atto 2 will become the most affordable BYD electric vehicle in the country. Currently, BYD India offer the Atto 3, eMax 7, Seal and Sealion 7.
BYD Atto 2: Design and Dimensions
The BYD Atto 2, which made its debut at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show, is built on BYD’s e-platform 3.0, designed specifically for electric vehicles. It adopts a boxy silhouette with upright proportions, giving it a robust yet urban-friendly appeal. Dimensionally, the Atto 2 measures 4,310 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width, and 1,675 mm in height, with a 2,620 mm wheelbase. Here’s how the Atto 2’s dimensions compare against its closest rivals:

The Atto 2 shares the same length as the Tata Curvv EV. It is the widest and tallest in this comparison and its wheelbase is only 80mm shorter than the upcoming Maruti e Vitara.
While the test mule was heavily camouflaged, its overall stance and lighting elements suggest a close resemblance to the international model. Key exterior highlights include a distinctive LED headlight signature, connected LED taillights, a raised rear spoiler, angular design elements, and a faux diffuser with silver accents at the back.
BYD Atto 2: Interior and Features
While the spy shots fail to capture the interior of the Atto 2 test mule, we expect the India-spec model to offer the same modern yet minimalistic cabin experience as the international model. The global-spec Atto 2 offers a large 12.8-inch rotatable touchscreen infotainment unit, which serves as the hub for media and vehicle functions. It includes both wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Behind the multifunction steering wheel sits an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster.
Other notable interior features include:
- Leatherette upholstery
- A crystal-style drive selector
- Wireless smartphone charging
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated and powered front seats
- Ambient lighting
- Type-C charging ports
The global version also offers a practical 400 litre boot capacity, which can be expanded to 1,340 liters by folding down the rear seats.
For safety, the international version of the BYD Atto 2 offers a 360-degree surround-view camera system, multiple airbags, and advanced driver assistance features (ADAS).
BYD Atto 2: Powertrain And Range
The BYD Atto 2 is offered with a single electric motor powering the front wheels. This motor is rated to produce around 177PS of power and 290Nm of torque, which is very similar to the MG ZS EV’s output. Powering the Atto 2 is BYD’s proprietary 45.1kWh Blade Cell battery pack, which is known for its safety and energy density.
In terms of range, the standard variant promises a driving range of up to 380km, which is significantly lower than the claimed range of its electric rivals.
BYS Atto 2: Expected Prices
While BYD have not yet officially announced the launch date or pricing for India, the Atto 2 is expected to be positioned competitively. We expect it to cost between Rs. 18 lakh and Rs. 24 lakh (ex-showroom).
