The countdown begins: BYD South Africa set to unveil the new ATTO 2 DM-i

BYD Auto South Africa will officially unveil its new ATTO 2 DM-i to local media and stakeholders on 10 and 11 June 2026, as the Chinese vehicle manufacturer continues to grow its presence in South Africa's new energy vehicle market.

The launch follows the recent introduction of the BYD ATTO 8 and forms part of the company's broader expansion strategy in the country.

While full specifications remain under wraps ahead of the launch, BYD confirmed that the ATTO 2 DM-i will feature its DM-i plug-in hybrid technology, which combines electric driving capability with extended driving range.
