BYD is expanding its electric vehicle lineup in Nepal, with the latest addition being the Atto 2, a compact electric SUV. Following the debut of the Atto 1 (Seagull) at the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025, the Atto 2 is set to launch at the upcoming NADA Auto Show 2025.
The Atto 2 is essentially the global version of the BYD Yuan Up, which launched in China in early 2024. Measuring 4,310 mm long, 1,830 mm wide, and 1,675 mm tall, the Atto 2 is slightly smaller than the Atto 3, making it a perfect fit for Nepal's urban environment. Despite its compact size, it boasts an impressive 1,430 liters of boot space with the rear seats folded.
Built on BYD's state-of-the-art e-Platform 3.0, the Atto 2 is the brand's first compact SUV to feature Cell-to-Body (CTB) battery integration. This design embeds the battery directly into the vehicle's structure, improving rigidity, safety, space utilization, and weight balance. The Atto 2 may come equipped with a 45.1 kWh LFP Blade battery paired with a 174 bhp front-mounted motor, delivering a WLTP range of 312 km.
The Atto 2 is expected to come packed with practical and premium features that add strong value for a compact electric SUV. These include 17-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, a 10.1-inch or 12.8-inch rotating infotainment screen, six airbags, rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a six-speaker sound system, ambient lighting, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, power-folding side mirrors, and a 360-degree surround-view camera.
While BYD Nepal has yet to release official specifications, the Atto 2 is expected to be priced between Rs 45-47 lakh, positioning it above the Dolphin in the brand's local lineup. With its smart design, efficient performance, and long feature list, the BYD Atto 2 could become one of the most compelling electric SUV options in Nepal.
