BYD Atto 1 2026 Accessories

The BYD Atto 1 includes synthetic leather seat trim, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, rear camera, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control as part of some Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) tech that also includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and lane-keep alert, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Vehicle to Load functionality that provides power for external appliances and 15-inch steel wheels with hubcaps.

The BYD Atto 1 Premium adds more equipment, like a surround-view monitor, powered and heated front seats, a reach as well as rake adjustable steering wheel, a wireless charger, LED headlights and 16-inch alloy wheels.

But there is a spare wheel, just a tyre repair kit.

BYD Atto 1 2026 Interior

The BYD Atto 1’s square shape and high roof makes entry and egress easy, into a spacious and surprisingly practical four-seater city-car interior.

Key points include ample room for taller people up front, a good driving position, nice little steering wheel, heaps of storage including underneath the two-level centre console, and ample all-round vision.

The minimalist dash presentation is clean and logical, with electronic instrumentation ahead of the driver and a 10.1-inch central touchscreen in the centre.

As with many cars from China, it looks good, is well made, has a slick operation, clear markings and a row of fast-access icons for climate, audio, vehicle function, home screen and other controls.

But accessing some vehicle functions, including the fiddly climate control settings, requires digging deep into several menus, creating distraction and frustration. The vinyl seats are clammy. And there is a cheap off-gas plasticky smell permeating throughout the car.

Meanwhile, the Atto 1’s two-person-only rear seat area is also easy to access and reasonably roomy, the backrest and cushion are comfortable, door storage is generous, and while there are no USB ports, overhead lighting, centre armrest or cupholders, the centre console reaches back enough for there to be a cubby for one bottle or a mug.

The backrests are also split 50/50 to provide access to the cargo area.

BYD Atto 1 2026 Engine

The BYD Atto 1 offers two electric motor options.

The Essential’s makes 65kW of power and 175Nm of torque, while the Premium’s outputs are 115kW and 220Nm, respectively.

Both drive the front wheels via a single-speed transmission.

BYD Atto 1 2026 Boot Space

The BYD Atto 1’s boot area offers a useful 308 litres of cargo capacity with backrests up, and 1037L with them folded down.

The deep floor hides an area that’s large enough for charger cables, laptops and other items that need to be kept out of sight. Which is useful as there is no luggage cover.

Nor is there a spare wheel, just a tyre-repair kit, which is always unsatisfactory.

Note, too, that, unlike some other EVs, the Atto 1 does not have storage underneath the bonnet.

BYD Atto 1 2026 Speed

The BYD Atto 1 Essential can accelerate from standstill to 100km/h (0-100km/h) in 11.1 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 135km/h.

The BYD Atto 1 Premium, with more power, can accelerate from standstill to 100km/h (0-100km/h) in 9.1 seconds, but also offers a maximum speed of 135km/h.
