Drivetrains and Efficiency

There’s just one powertrain available in the local Atto 2 lineup.

BYD claims a 0-100 per cent charge will take 8.2 hours on AC power, and that a 10-80 per cent fast-charge will take 38.6 minutes on DC power.

Australians will miss out on the more powerful 150kW/310Nm electric motor and larger 64.8kWh battery offered in other markets like the UK, which boosts the combined range claim to 429km.

Dimensions

The Atto 2 rides on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0, as per other models like the Atto 1 electric hatch.

The small SUV features MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension.
