2026–2027 BYD Atto 2 45 Specs & Performance

The BYD Atto 2 45 is the smaller-battery member of BYD's compact electric SUV lineup, but its 130-kW motor still gives it useful performance. With 174 hp and 214 lb-ft, the front-wheel-drive SUV reaches 60 mph in 7.6 seconds and tops out at 99 mph. Its 45.12-kWh battery delivers a claimed 193-mile range, making this version particularly suited to drivers who want a compact electric crossover without carrying the additional battery capacity of the larger Atto 2 65.

The 2026–2027 Atto 2 45 also preserves the practicality expected from a small SUV, with five seats and 14.1–47.3 cubic feet of luggage space. MacPherson-strut front suspension and a torsion-beam rear axle keep the chassis straightforward, while the relatively modest battery helps keep curb weight to 3,296 pounds. The result is a compact EV that emphasizes accessible size, useful range and responsive everyday performance rather than maximum battery capacity.
