BYD Atto 2

Thursday, Sep 04, 2025 12:00 PM

Fast-growing Chinese EV specialist takes aim at one of Europe's key growth segments This era of the high-rise electric superminis that we’re living through is showing no sign of stalling. We now have a class packed with all kinds; premium ones (Volvo EX30, Alfa Romeo Junior), sporty ones (Mini Aceman, Ford Puma Gen-E), avantgarde-stylish ones (Kia EV3), retro-stylish ones (Renault 4), and even cutesier retro-stylish ones (Fiat Grande Panda). Amongst it all, what should a brand like BYD do to make its entrant stand out? Not much, apparently. The BYD Atto 2, just arrived in the UK, seems to have a mission simply to blend in. It looks very much like a shrunken down BYD Atto 3, though it also trades on cues obviously borrowed from the likes of the Smart #1 and Mercedes EQ brand. It’s practical, broadly pleasant, well-equipped, and inoffensive both to use and drive. It’s fine, in other words. Passable. ‘Competitive’, if you like. But it isn’t the sort of car you’ll likely notice or remember; aiming instead to meet every reasonable expectation without notably exceeding any particular one.
