BYD has introduced the ATTO 2 DM-i to customers, following the success of the SEAL U DM-i.
The BYD ATTO 2 DM-i is due on sale in European countries in early 2026. Prices will be announced in individual markets in due course.
Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD, said: “Super Hybrid with DM technology offers an ideal stepping stone for customers who want the EV driving experience without any worries about range anxiety. And with the BYD ATTO 2 DM-i, we bring those advantages to the compact SUV segment, creating a standout offering.
“The car’s mix of pure-electric capability and huge real-world range make it unique in its class, and something that only we could produce. You can really see what we mean when we say it’s not a car, it’s a BYD!”
The model offers a mix of an EV driving experience and real-world combined range of up to 1000km – giving customers the freedom to make a confident step towards pure-electric motoring while enjoying the reassurance of hybrid backup.
There are two configurations of Super Hybrid powertrain available in the ATTO 2 DM-i. In Active spec the Blade Battery capacity is 7.8kWh and the maximum system power is 166PS (122kW).
This version has a WLTP pure-electric range of 40km and an overall WLTP combined range of 930km.
The ATTO 2 DM-i Boost takes the battery capacity up to 18.0KWh and increases the system power output to 212PS (156kW) – enough for a 0-100km/h time of just 7.5 seconds.
The larger battery delivers a WLTP pure-electric range of 90km, along with a WLTP Combined Range of 1000km.
A 6.6kW AC charger allows the bigger battery to be recharged from 15% to 100% in three hours when connected to a 32A three-phase AC power point.
The ATTO 2 DM-i is available in four colours, including a new Midnight Blue finish that is unique to the Super Hybrid models.
The new model will come with BYD’s usual extensive warranty package – a six-year manufacturer’s warranty and eight years’ cover for the drivetrain and battery.
