BYD Sets UK Prices for Atto 2 DM‑i Plug‑In Hybrid From £26,995

The pricing signals a push to make BYD’s generator‑led hybrid tech accessible to small‑SUV buyers.

Overview

  • BYD confirmed UK pricing for the Atto 2 DM‑i plug‑in hybrid, with first customer deliveries scheduled for August.
  • The lineup starts at £26,995 for the Active and £29,995 for the Boost, which outlets report makes it the cheapest PHEV on sale in the UK.
  • The Active uses a 7.8kWh battery for a WLTP electric range of 24 miles and a 0–62mph time of 9.1 seconds, while the Boost moves to 18kWh and 55 miles with a 7.5‑second sprint.
  • Both versions pair a 1.5‑litre petrol engine that mainly acts as a generator with BYD’s LFP Blade battery, and each gets a 12.8‑inch screen with Google Maps and Google Play plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
  • Several publications list higher electric‑only ranges or different order timing, but BYD’s UK figures state 24 and 55 miles WLTP and August arrivals.
