Video Summary
Here's a summary of the car review video:The BYD Atto 2 is a B-SUV aimed at the compact crossover market. It will compete with the Toyota Yaris Cross, Renault Captur, and Nissan Juke, as well as the electric Opel Frontera and Citroen C3 Aircross. Pricing will be around €30,000 for the basic Active model.
The exterior styling blends ideas from other carmakers, including the Atto 3 and Honda. There are unique features such as LED taillights that form a Chinese knot shape.
The interior quality is significantly higher than the Frontera or C3 Aircross. It boasts a new BYD steering wheel with physical buttons, front defrost, stop-start, and regenerative braking. The car has a crystal-look gear selector and a fast wireless charging pad. It also has sizable door bins.
The touchscreen interface includes a customizable bar for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning controls. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features remain accessible even with a phone connected. There is an option for multi-touch for the air conditioning controls. Seats are comfortable and will likely come with vegan leather as standard. The spacious rear seats come with split-level seat pockets, offering good legroom and headroom. The boot measures 400 liters and has a low loading lip.
Performance is described as conventional, not thrilling, but adequate for urban use. A 170hp electric motor powers the front wheels, achieving 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. It has an urban SUV driving character with decent all-round visibility. The light, wispy steering can't be described as telling the driver a lot about road conditions.
The car averaged 18 kWh per 100km during testing, including some high-speed motorway driving at 120 km/h. Better results are expected with more in-town driving.
Overall, this is a good electric car that will be an addition to the market.
