Overview
The BYD Atto 2 is a B-segment, five-seat electric SUV launched in 2025. It suits drivers seeking a compact EV with front-wheel drive, a 51.1 kWh battery and 174 hp rather than a larger SUV. Prices start from RM100,000, with one Premium variant in Malaysia.
Atto 2 in 2026 — what's new
The Malaysian BYD Atto 2 carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific local update announced. The range remains centred on the single Premium EV, using a 51.1 kWh battery, 174 hp front-wheel-drive motor and a quoted 345 km range. A larger 64.8 kWh battery, higher output and up to 155 kW DC charging have been announced for Europe, but they are not part of the Malaysian range.
Verdict
The Atto 2 is a straightforward compact electric SUV with a simple exterior, full LED headlamps and a full-width rear light bar. Its 174 hp motor and quoted 345 km range give buyers clear core figures, but the single-variant line-up leaves no scope to tailor the specification. At RM100,000, it sits between cheaper electric SUVs and pricier same-class alternatives.
