Byd, the largest car manufacturer in China, made its debut on the Romanian marketThursday, with four electric models. These include byd ATTO 2, a compact electric SUV.
ATTO 2 will be directly competitor in the Romanian market with VW Tiguan, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA, but also of the new Dacia model: Bigster, available from April 10 in Mioveni manufacturer's showrooms.
Photo. What does the ATO 2 look like, the compact SUV of the Chinese from Byd, who made their debut in Romania yesterday:
Byd ATTO 2 needs 7.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h, reaching a maximum speed of 160 km/h. It is 4.3 meters long, but it offers enough luggage space, with a 400 -liter luggage compartment, which can be extended to 1340 liters, when the rear seats are folded.
On the outside, I attract the attention of the LED headlights, with a continuous design of the rear lamps, while the interior is provided with ecological vegan leather chairs, with the materials on the board and on the door panels. It also has a panoramic ceiling, but also functions such as ambient lighting and wireless charging.
The autonomy of the car is 130 km, and the loading time from 30% to 80% is only 28 minutes.
The starting price of a byd ATO 2 vehicle is 22,000 euros.
