Following the good success of the SEAL range which is the best-selling plug-in hybrid model in several key European markets, BYD have revealed a new ATTO 2 DM-i which is a compact-SUV.
The vehicle will run on an intelligent powertrain (DM-i stands for Dual Mode-intelligent) which maximises efficiency on longer journeys by choosing hybrid modes as required. With a fully charged battery and a full tank of petrol, you can drive off of 1000km as claimed by BYD.
Two versions of the ATTO 2 DM-i will be available, offering different battery sizes, EV and overall range, power outputs and performance, and the car will feature subtle design tweaks to set it apart from pure-electric versions of the ATTO 2.
For looks this car will include a larger middle front grille, decorative lower elements in the front bumper, the removal of the side vents in the front wings and resigned badging on the tailgate. There will also be a new exterior colour, Midnight Blue, that will be unique to the DM-i variant.
The BYD ATTO 2 DM-i will make its European debut at this week's Fleet Europe Days event in Luxembourg, before being introduced to media in November. Pre-sales will begin soon after, with first deliveries expected from the opening quarter of 2026.
