BYD Atto 2 spotted testing in Chennai without camouflage. Global model gets up to a 64.8 kWh battery and 430 km range. Expected to launch in India in 2027 below the Atto 3.
BYD is working on a new electric SUV for India called the Atto 2. The upcoming model has been spotted testing in Chennai, and the latest test vehicle was seen without camouflage. This gives us a better look at the SUV ahead of its expected launch in 2027. The Atto 2 will sit below the Atto 3 in BYD's Indian lineup. It is likely to become the brand's most affordable electric SUV in the country and take on models like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Tata Sierra EV.
BYD Atto 2 Spotted Testing in India
The latest spy shots of the BYD Atto 2 have come from Chennai. The test vehicle was spotted by automotive enthusiast Sarath S and appears to be the fully electric version. Earlier spy shots also suggested that BYD was testing the EV version in India. One key detail was the absence of a fuel filler cap on the rear left side. This is because the fully electric model does not need one, unlike the Atto 2 DM-i plug-in hybrid. However, BYD could also consider bringing the plug-in hybrid version to India. The company has not shared any official details about the powertrain options yet.

BYD Atto 2 Design and Features
The BYD Atto 2 is already on sale in some international markets. It is known as the Yuan Up in China and Yuan Pro in some South American countries. The SUV measures 4,310 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width and 1,675 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,620 mm and offers around 400 litres of boot space. This can be increased to 1,340 litres by folding the rear seats. On the outside, the Atto 2 gets LED daytime running lights, LED headlamps, large alloy wheels and rugged body cladding. Other highlights include flap-style door handles, a rear roof spoiler and connected LED tail-lights. Inside, the global model gets a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital instrument display. It also comes with features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, ambient lighting and leatherette upholstery. Safety features include multiple airbags and Level 2 ADAS. However, the India-spec model may get a different set of features.
BYD Atto 2 Battery, Range and Performance
Globally, the BYD Atto 2 is offered with battery options of up to 64.8 kWh. The larger battery version gets a single electric motor that powers the front wheels. It produces 201 bhp and 310 Nm of torque. The claimed WLTP range is up to 430 km, while the SUV can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The Atto 2 also supports DC fast charging. However, BYD is yet to confirm the battery pack, range and charging details for the India-spec model.
BYD Atto 2 India Launch and Rivals
The BYD Atto 2 is expected to launch in India sometime in 2027. It will be positioned below the Atto 3 and could help BYD attract more buyers in the electric SUV segment. Once launched, it is likely to compete with the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Tata Sierra EV. BYD has not announced the price or variant details yet. More information about the India-spec model is expected closer to its launch.
