BYD ATTO 2 DM-I
COMPACT SUV
WATT MATTERS?
The ATTO 2 DM-i makes plug-in hybrid ownership available at a startling entry price. Yet the cheaper Essential and longer-range Premium tell two quite different electric-driving stories.
THE BASICS
The Essential claims 39km WLTP electric range from a smaller battery; the Premium reaches 90km WLTP. Both retain petrol backup and neither offers DC fast charging.

THE WATTCAR TAKE
The cheapest price grabs attention, but the Premium could be the more compelling plug-in for people who want to use electricity every day. Buyers should calculate how often they can charge.
