The BYD Atto 2 is a compact five-seat SUV and the smallest SUV in BYD's UK line-up, sitting below the Atto 3. At roughly 4.31 metres long, it's built for drivers who want family-sized room in something that still slots into an ordinary parking bay.
The choice here is refreshingly short. One SUV body, two powertrains - plug-in hybrid or electric - and three trims: Active, Boost and Comfort.
It suits commuters, downsizers and small families rather than keen drivers. Reviewers consistently praise the space, the standard kit and how easy it is around town, and are less complimentary about ride comfort and body control on faster, lumpier roads.

The Atto 2 is BYD's compact five-seat SUV, sold as a plug-in hybrid or an electric car, and it's the entry point to the brand's SUV range. Boot space runs from 400 to 450 litres depending on version.
BYD is a young brand in Britain but a vast one globally, and the Atto 2 is a deliberately sensible interpretation of a small crossover: upright, plainly styled, roomy in the back seats for the exterior size. Road testers regularly note the generous standard equipment and the quality of the parking cameras, while criticising a floaty ride and an infotainment system with too many menus.
It carries a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, and BYD backs the car with a 6-year / 93,750-mile warranty - long by class standards, and worth knowing about even on a lease.
Because the equipment you actually use is standard rather than optional, and because the Atto 2 answers a narrow question well: a small, well-kitted SUV that either runs on electricity alone or plugs in alongside a petrol engine.
Every Atto 2 starts from a decent base. Active includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a navigation system with Google Maps, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a rear camera - so you're not paying extra for the basics of getting around and reversing safely.
Practically, it's five seats, a 400 to 450-litre boot depending on version, and braked towing of up to 750 kg on the versions rated for it. Worth checking the individual derivative if towing matters to you.
The 5-star Euro NCAP rating covers the range, and the assistance systems can be reached quickly through the touchscreen - something several long-term testers flag as genuinely useful, because you can turn down what you don't want.
It comes down to whether you can charge reliably and how far you travel between stops. Both powertrains are automatic and front-wheel drive, and both can run on electricity for at least part of the journey.
A 1.5-litre petrol engine works with a 7.8 or 18 kWh battery, giving 163 to 209 bhp through an automatic gearbox. You plug it in for electric running, then the engine takes over, so long trips need no charging stops. Best if home charging is possible but not guaranteed.
A 51.1 or 64.8 kWh battery, 175 to 201 bhp, automatic, with an electric range of up to 270 miles (WLTP) on the longest-range version. No petrol, no servicing of an engine, and cheapest to run if you can charge at home overnight - our electric car guide covers the basics.
| Electric | Plug-in hybrid | |
|---|---|---|
| Boot | 400–450 litres | 425 litres |
| Power | 175–201 bhp | 163–209 bhp |
| Seats | 5 | 5 |
| Battery | 51.1–64.8 kWh | 7.8–18 kWh |
| 0–62 mph | 7.9 s | 7.5–9.1 s |
| Electric range (WLTP) | 214–270 miles | – |
| Braked towing | – | 750 kg |
Three trims, and the differences are mostly comfort and visibility kit rather than anything mechanical. Comfort is an Electric trim.
The entry trim, and no punishment to live with: 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a navigation system with Google Maps, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a rear camera. Enough for most drivers who mainly want a comfortable, connected small SUV.
The Active is currently available from £296.83 a month.
Boost moves up to 17-inch alloy wheels and adds a panoramic roof with an electrically adjustable sunshade, a vegan leather multifunction steering wheel, a heated steering wheel and a 360-degree view camera. That last item is the one customers ask about most - it makes tight car parks far less stressful.
The Boost is currently available from £312.91 a month. Against the Active, that is currently £16.08/mo more expensive.
Comfort is the Electric trim, and against Active it brings 17-inch alloy wheels, a navigation system, a panoramic roof with an electrically adjustable sunshade, a vegan leather multifunction steering wheel and a heated steering wheel. Pick it if you want the airier cabin and warm hands in January.
The Comfort is currently available from £324.05 a month.
If you're shortlisting, the Kia EV3 and the smaller Kia EV2 cover similar ground, while the MINI Countryman and Alfa Romeo Junior take a more style-led approach. The rest of the BYD range is worth a look too.
