The BYD Atto 2 is one of the most interesting propositions for the electric SUV market in Malaysia. Although the list price is officially RM100k, an early bird package, valued at up to RM13,000, brings the effective price down to the RM85,000 range.
The Atto 2 is a compact electric SUV, smaller than the Atto 3. Its exterior design is described as simple and unadventurous, which can be considered a good thing to ensure it has mass appeal. Full LED lighting at the front and a stylish full-width taillight at the rear give it a modern presence.
While it may not turn heads with radical styling, its sensible proportions and neat lines create an impression of a mature and well-thought-out vehicle.
Under the hood is a front-wheel-drive electric motor that produces 177 PS and 290 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds.
The 51 kWh battery pack offers a real-world range of around 370 km. The vehicle supports both AC and DC fast charging. A full charge at home takes just under 8 hours, while a DC fast charge from 30% to 80% takes 28 minutes.
On the interior, the layout is clean, dominated by BYD’s signature 13-inch rotating screen, now with seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
For Malaysia, the BYD Atto 2 is sold with complimentary accessories including a vehicle-to-load (V2L) adapter and a Type 2 to three-pin plug cable. Warranty for the Atto 2 in Malaysia is six years or 150,000 km for the vehicle overall, eight years or 160,000 km for the high-voltage battery, and eight years or 150,000 km for the drive unit.
In the end, the BYD Atto 2 is an excellent “starter EV” and a strong competitor in the Malaysian market. It offers a well-rounded package of speed, comfort, handling, and range for its price, setting a high bar for upcoming competitors. Watch the video review for Hafriz Shah’s full thoughts.

Agree with Hafiz on the driver side only keyless entry. Women driver especially put the key fob inside their hand bag will have to find the key fob while waiting to be robbed in Malaysia if needed to open the passenger side of the door (like taking out or putting in things especially when parked sideways on left side of the road). Usually only P2 cars and Proton cars has this rob me please feature.
This is definitely A game changer grade at Proton X50 and Chery Omoda 5, Tiggo Cross H-EV
Nobody easily score for a champ.
7.9s to 100km/h comfortable daily drive,
Tak payah pening makan minyak lagi,
Neta EV also cannot fight,
But RM 100k range now got a few option,
GAC Aion Y Plus, Chery E5 too?
article mentions – “the effective price down to the RM85,000 range.”
Odd that it doesn’t come with blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert system when the Europe version has it.
RM85K is a breakthrough price for a compact SUV whether EV or petrol. It is even cheaper than the Proton X50. As the Atto 2 is equipped with 360 deg. view cameras the blind spot monitoring can be added via software. Going outstation may be a problem due to limited range but it’s a fine car for city use. Very suitable for families who have another petrol car for outstation travel.
BYD can do this pricing because they have the same business concept as MiXue. They make everything in house and they make money from volume.
85k price is because china subsidize malaysian car buyers , unlike the stingy calculative japanese, tq ccp rakyat malaysia love you three thousand
Apa yang kamu merepek ini? Blind spot monitoring system uses ultrasonic sensors mounted at the side rear bumper and doesn’t use camera system. Nowadays, cyber trooper main hentam keromo cakap main petik dari angin.
bashers thought that blind spot monitoring is similar to honda lanewatch using camera kakaka
