Luxembourg, October 2025 – Building on the momentum of its groundbreaking Super Hybrid technology, BYD has unveiled the new ATTO 2 DM-i, a compact SUV designed to redefine what drivers can expect from hybrid performance. Proven by the remarkable success of the SEAL U DM-i – the best-selling plug-in hybrid across several key European markets – BYD’s latest model brings exceptional efficiency, intelligent performance, and impressive range to one of the most competitive vehicle segments in the world.

Super Hybrid Technology: The Future of Intelligent Efficiency

At the heart of the ATTO 2 DM-i lies BYD’s revolutionary Dual Mode-intelligent (DM-i) powertrain. This system delivers seamless transitions between electric and hybrid driving modes, automatically optimising energy use for maximum efficiency. The result is a compact SUV capable of travelling up to 90km in pure electric mode, allowing for emissions-free daily commutes and city driving.

For longer journeys, the ATTO 2 DM-i intelligently switches to hybrid mode to extend efficiency and performance. When fully charged and fuelled, the system enables the vehicle to cover more than 1000km—a figure that comfortably exceeds the range of both hybrid and mild-hybrid competitors, as well as many traditional petrol-powered compact SUVs.

Performance with Purpose

Two versions of the ATTO 2 DM-i will be available, each tailored to meet diverse customer needs across Europe. These variants will offer different battery capacities, power outputs, EV ranges, and overall performance, giving drivers the freedom to choose the configuration that best suits their lifestyle—whether that’s urban efficiency or long-distance flexibility.

Design Evolution with Distinction

While instantly recognisable as part of the ATTO family, the DM-i variant features a series of exclusive design refinements that reflect its hybrid sophistication. A larger front grille and re-sculpted lower bumper elements lend the vehicle a more assertive, aerodynamic presence, while the removal of side vents in the front wings enhances visual simplicity. The revised rear badging proudly signifies its Super Hybrid identity, complemented by the debut of a new Midnight Blue exterior finish, a colour reserved exclusively for the DM-i edition.

European Debut and Launch Timeline

The BYD ATTO 2 DM-i is set to make its European debut at Fleet Europe Days in Luxembourg this week, marking a significant moment in BYD’s ongoing expansion across the continent. The brand will showcase the vehicle’s advanced Super Hybrid system to fleet and mobility decision-makers ahead of its media introduction in November 2025.

Pre-sales will begin shortly after, with first customer deliveries expected in early 2026.

Redefining the Compact SUV Segment

With its intelligent powertrain, exceptional electric range, and long-distance capability, the BYD ATTO 2 DM-i stands poised to redefine expectations in the compact SUV segment. It combines BYD’s proven hybrid innovation with refined design and everyday practicality—delivering a driving experience that’s as efficient as it is empowering.

In an era where electrification meets versatility, the ATTO 2 DM-i proves that drivers no longer have to choose between performance, range, and sustainability—they can have it all.
