BYD Atto 2 Boot Test: Will It All Fit?

The new BYD Atto 2 SUV has timed its arrival to perfection as the rapid rise in fuel prices drives motorists to accelerate purchases of small electric vehicles. The BYD Atto 2 has a 380L boot capacity, extending to 1320L with the rear seats folded. Research and compare cars 🔎 RACV Car Match Boot space is clever and decent; there’s a false floor which hides the storage space for the charge cables and loads of room for shopping. A folding pushchair or golf bag should be able to fit across the wide opening. There are also two deep cubbies on either side of the boot to put things so they don’t roll around. Both second-row seats fold forward (split 60/40), so you’ve got the practicality of an SUV. It doesn't come quite flat, but it's roomy enough. To boost available boot space, there’s no spare wheel, but you do get an inflator kit. As the most affordable electric SUV currently on the market in Australia, and coming from one of the hottest brands, the 2026 BYD Atto 2 hits the sweet spot for buyers looking to save on fuel costs but without breaking the bank to do it. The BYD Atto 2 is available in two grades, each of which is equipped with a 51.13kWh battery, offering a claimed driving range of 345km (WLTP). The most affordable BYD Atto 2 Dynamic grade is priced from $31,990, plus on-road costs, making it the cheapest electric SUV in Australia. On test here is the upspec BYD Atto 2 Premium, a pricier model at $35,990 plus ORCs, but still available for around $40,000 drive-away. The Atto 2 sits in the small SUV segment alongside vehicles like last year's top 10 best-selling car, the Hyundai Kona, which is available as an EV, a hybrid or with a conventional petrol engine. It also sells against popular hybrid vehicles, including the Toyota Yaris Cross, one of Australia’s most fuel-efficient SUVs, and a raft of new affordable electric SUVs from fellow newcomer brands, including Leapmotor and GAC. With its affordable price point and likeable approach to electric motoring, has BYD delivered Australia the perfect EV for those of us tightening our belts this year or will its limited driving range hamper its appeal?
