A 2025 mild‑hybrid, 160 hp.
Really nice little car. Mostly doing 200 km trips. Driving isn’t tiring. I trusted the driver‑assistance systems and… I wasn’t disappointed. The adaptive cruise control is brilliant, though I’d trust it about 90%. Overtaking punch is a plus. I recommend it with a clear conscience. Ah, just those 18" wheels 🤦. Obviously fuel consumption is higher because it’s an automatic.

I've done 6,000 km and I'm delighted. I haven't tried other EVs, but I'm thrilled with the BYD Atto 2. It's true I don't go on long trips — I do everything in the city and nearby, about 100 to 150 km a day — and honestly it's been great in every way. When I hit 300,000 km I'll tell you again. Haha
