If you want facts first, here they are: BYD ATTO 2 UK pricing and specification are official, and the numbers show a sharp entry into the compact EV market. Positioned as the most accessible SUV in BYD’s range, the ATTO 2 comes in two trims, Boost and Comfort, and aims to bring big-car features into a smaller, city-friendly package.
BYD ATTO 2 Pricing and Trims
The Boost model is the entry point, starting at £30,850 OTR, while the Comfort trim begins at £34,950 OTR. Both versions come with an extensive list of standard equipment and safety features. Customer deliveries for Boost models will begin in September, with the Comfort version set to follow later in 2025. Buyers will also benefit from five years of free maintenance, underlining BYD’s confidence in its new compact SUV.
Design, Tech and Everyday Usability
Despite its compact dimensions, the ATTO 2 doesn’t compromise on features. A 12.8-inch rotatable central touchscreen dominates the cabin, supported by wireless smartphone charging, an eight-speaker audio system, and BYD’s intelligent “Hi BYD” voice control. Practicality is also a highlight, with a 400-litre boot that expands to 1,340 litres with the seats folded, alongside five-seat flexibility for family use. For extra versatility, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology allows the ATTO 2 to power external devices like coffee machines or tools on the go.
Blade Battery and Cell-to-Body Innovation
At the heart of the ATTO 2 is BYD’s Blade Battery, known for its durability and safety. For the first time in a compact BYD SUV, the ATTO 2 also introduces Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology, which integrates the battery pack into the vehicle’s structure. This design improves body rigidity and frees up valuable cabin space, enhancing both safety and comfort.
Range and Charging Options
The Boost model carries a 51.1kWh battery, offering up to 214 miles WLTP combined range, and an impressive 302 miles in city driving. Charging from 30 to 80% takes just 30 minutes with an 82kW DC charger. The Comfort trim ups the game with a larger 64.8kWh pack, capable of up to 261 miles WLTP range. Thanks to a 155kW DC charger, it can go from 30 to 80% in as little as 21 minutes. Both trims support up to 11kW AC charging, with full charges taking 5 hours 42 minutes for Boost and 7 hours 12 minutes for Comfort. A heat pump is also fitted as standard to maintain efficiency in colder weather.
Performance and Driving Character
On the road, the Boost trim delivers 130kW (174hp) and 290Nm of torque, while the Comfort increases output to 150kW (201hp) and 310Nm. Both are front-wheel drive with a top speed of 99mph. The Boost completes 0–62mph in 7.9 seconds, while the Comfort’s extra power ensures stronger mid-range punch for motorway overtakes. Despite compact size, the ATTO 2 maintains stability with a 2,620mm wheelbase and kerbweight between 1,590–1,680kg. Both trims ride on 17-inch wheels, striking a balance between agility in town and comfort on longer drives.
The Real-World Choice
In practice, Boost makes the most sense for drivers who spend most of their time in urban areas, where range is plentiful and charging stops are quick. Comfort caters to those who want extra buffer for weekly commutes or longer weekend trips, with faster DC charging to keep downtime minimal.
Summary
With prices starting at just over £30,000, the BYD ATTO 2 delivers strong value, modern technology, and useful range options tailored for UK roads. From its innovative Blade Battery and CTB structure to its practical interior features, the ATTO 2 shows that compact doesn’t have to mean compromised.
