BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new-energy vehicles, has introduced the ATTO 2, its
most accessible electric SUV, at the prestigious Brussels Motor Show, Europe’s first major automotive event of 2025.
Designed for customers who want the raised ride height of an SUV but in an affordable package tailored to urban streets and parking arrangements, the ATTO 2 combines advanced technology, premium features, and compact dimensions. Sales are set to commence in Q2 2025.
Blending compact dimensions and agile manoeuvrability, and featuring BYD’s iconic Blade
Battery with state-of-the-art Cell-to-Body construction, cutting-edge smart technology in the
cabin and generous levels of standard equipment, the ATTO 2 is the perfect urban EV for those
who don’t want to compromise on a premium finish and ‘big-car’ features.
The ATTO 2 balances robust SUV styling with practicality, measuring 4,310mm in length and 1,830mm in width, making it slightly smaller than its sibling, the ATTO 3.

Its dynamic design features full-LED headlights, a floating roofline, and bold curves, while its interior blends
geometric styling with premium materials. A panoramic glass roof enhances the cabin’s light-
filled atmosphere, and BYD’s e-Platform 3.0 creates a flat floor for generous passenger space.
The boot offers 400 litres of capacity, expandable to 1,340 litres, catering to both urban and
family needs.
At its core is BYD’s innovative Blade Battery, seamlessly integrated into the vehicle’s structure
through Cell-to-Body (CTB) construction. This unique design enhances body rigidity and safety
while maximising interior space. The Blade Battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology,
which is free of cobalt and nickel, offering superior durability, safety, and resistance to extreme
temperatures. The standard-range model features a 45.1 kWh battery, delivering a WLTP range
of 312 kilometres and powered by a 130 kW motor, with a longer-range variant to follow.
Inside, the ATTO 2 combines functionality and style, with padded surfaces, clever storage
solutions, and a sleek centre console equipped with intuitive controls. The thoughtful design
ensures a modern and comfortable driving experience, making it an ideal choice for urban
drivers seeking the versatility of an SUV in a more compact, premium package.
Full specifications on this model, along with details on the ATTO 2’s extensive standard-
equipment lists and range structure, will be announced in the coming weeks, to coincide with the
full European launch of the car. The ATTO 2 will be available for viewing and test drives at
GasanZammit Ltd in Mriehel, offering Maltese enthusiasts and customers a
