The newcomer BYD Atto 2 is poised to challenge the Vauxhall Frontera’s dominance in the market.

The BYD Atto 2 is a newcomer to the electric vehicle market, with a focus on affordability. Weighing in at 1.6 tonnes, it’s powered by a 174bhp electric motor and a battery that helps keep costs down. The interior features a 12.8-inch touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital instrument panel, but with a more straightforward design to keep costs in check. The UK pricing is expected to start from under £30,000, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. The Atto 2 will be joined by the Sealion 7, a pure-electric coupé-SUV priced from £44,990, and the Seagull, a supermini set to rival the Dacia Spring and Citroen e-C3. The Atto 2’s design takes cues from its siblings, with elements like flowing LED headlights, a black bar with silver trim, and a floating roof design. With its affordable pricing, the Atto 2 is a potential game-changer in the electric vehicle market.
