Overview
The BYD Atto 2 is a subcompact SUV (B-segment) manufactured by BYD Auto since 2024. First sold in China as a battery electric vehicle called the BYD Yuan Up () and part of the BYD Yuan series that is named after the Yuan dynasty, the Atto 2 was introduced in February 2024 and entered production in March 2024.
