Verdict

Buy with care

Petit SUV électrique commercialisé en France depuis janvier 2025, avec 312 km WLTP en 45 kWh ou 430 km en 64,8 kWh. Les retours publiés manquent : aucune panne ni aucun rappel documenté n'a été trouvé, et aucun résultat Euro NCAP n'est publié. Le recul est trop faible pour juger la fiabilité : vérifiez l'état de la batterie et la garantie restante.

Prices abroad

Yearly medians of each country's listings (AutoScout24, in euros; United Kingdom: cinch dealer, in pounds), over years with at least 3 listings. Useful to judge an import (add transport, inspection and registration).

Median gap shown only when the country's estimate covers the same years as the French one. Add transport, roadworthiness test and registration.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “BYD Atto 2”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Monthly cost by item
Electricity€36
Insurance€106
Maintenance€28
Depreciation€279
Total per month€449

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution

  • Insurance: average for a closely related model (other generation or same platform).
  • Maintenance: budget of a closely related model.
  • Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
  • Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
Electricity€36

Atto 2 177 ch version: combined consumption of 16 kWh/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 0.194 €/kWh, for 1,000 km a month.

16 × 1.15 × 0.194 € × 10 = €36

Electricity price: EDF regulated Base tariff, home charging (as of 7 October 2026).

Insurance€106

Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.

Depreciation€279

Value lost in a year by a typical example, from the average drop in valuation per year of age (yearly medians of listings), per month.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Demander l'état de santé de la batterie et la date de fin de la garantie constructeur.
  • Vérifier la présence de la pompe à chaleur de série et la charge en courant continu (65 kW sur la 45 kWh).
  • Faire contrôler par un concessionnaire BYD les campagnes de rappel éventuelles avec le numéro de série.
  • Tester les aides à la conduite et l'écran multimédia lors de l'essai.
  • Contrôler l'autonomie réelle sur un parcours mixte par rapport aux 312 km WLTP (version 45 kWh).

Questions to ask the seller

  • Quelle version est-ce (45 kWh ou 64,8 kWh) et quelle autonomie affiche-t-elle en charge complète ?
  • Y a-t-il eu des mises à jour logicielles ou des interventions sous garantie ?
  • Pouvez-vous fournir le carnet d'entretien et la facture d'origine en France ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
