The Citroën's starting price is around €27,400 or €419 for private leasing. The BYD Atto 2's starting price is around €31,690 or €444 for private leasing. The Citroën has 113 hp, while the BYD has 177 hp.
Regarding battery range, the Citroën has an official range of 306km, while the reviewers achieved only about 240km.

The Atto 2 includes vehicle-to-load, allowing the use of the battery to power external electrical devices.
The BYD Atto 2 is praised for a more stylish interior. The Citroën has an adequate interior, but uses more hard plastic. The BYD has keyless entry, which Citroën does not.
The reviewer's find the steering in the Citroën is light.
Citroën is more fuel efficient than the BYD.
The Citroën has a small rear wiper.
The BYD’s navigation stops suggest when to charge. This feature is missing on the Citroën.
Concerning safety features, the BYD has features such as adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring. These features are only available with higher trims on the Citroën. The Citroën model has a fixed, protruding headrest that is uncomfortable. BYD's driver assistance systems has more menus to disable or change settings while driving, and the reviewers consider this to be unsafe. At 50-70 km/h, reviewers find an annoying, high-pitch noise from the motor. BYD’s cruise control cuts in a lot if it has to avoid a car in front, resulting in an inefficient experience.
The Citroën can tow 350 kg, compared to 750 kg for the BYD. The Citroen has 8 years or 160,000 km warranty for the components, whereas BYD only offers a 6 years warranty.
The reviewers gave the BYD Atto 2 their preference for electric SUV. In spite of these good points, the reviewers found Chinese cars to be somewhat overrated because of their higher price and reduced fuel economy.
