BYD Atto 2 India Launch Timeline, Features and Expected Price Under ₹20 Lakh
The BYD Atto 2 has been spotted testing on Indian roads, parked right next to a Hyundai Creta Electric. This adds to the growing talk around BYD’s next electric SUV for India. The Atto 2 is expected to be a compact model and could become BYD’s most affordable electric SUV in the country. Though the test car was fully camouflaged, its shape and design details suggest a modern and clean profile. It is likely to sit below the Atto 3 in the company’s lineup and target a broader customer base looking for an entry-level EV. Autocar India reported that this could be the brand’s key volume driver in the near future.
Globally, the Atto 2 comes with features like a rotating touchscreen, digital display, sunroof, wireless charging and a minimal cabin layout. If BYD offers similar features in the Indian version, it could bring good value to the segment. The international model is powered by a 45.1 kilowatt hour battery that offers a claimed range of around 380 kilometers. That should be enough for daily city use and occasional short trips. While the India-specific specs are not confirmed yet, the Atto 2 seems to be designed as a city-friendly electric SUV with practical range and comfort features. According to InsideEVs, the model is sold in China as the Yuan Up and is positioned as an urban electric SUV.
The expected price of the BYD Atto 2 in India is likely to be under ₹20 lakh. This would place it below the Atto 3, which starts at ₹24.99 lakh as listed on BYD India’s official website. It is expected to compete with models like the Tata Curvv Electric, Hyundai Creta Electric and Maruti’s upcoming EV based on the eVX. The test sighting next to the Creta Electric suggests that BYD is looking at the same buyer base. For those who have been waiting for a compact electric SUV that offers modern features without a high price tag, the Atto 2 might be worth watching. A recent update from RushLane suggests the launch could happen before the end of the year.
