Overview.

How DM-i works in practice DM-i stands for Dual Mode intelligent. The system is designed to run on electricity as the primary power source for most daily driving, with the 1.5-litre petrol engine taking over when the battery is depleted or when additional power is needed. In everyday city and suburban use, many DM-i owners find they rarely need to use significant amounts of petrol. The system is designed to be intuitive, so there is nothing specific the driver needs to do to switch between modes.

Exterior and interior The ATTO 2 DM-i has a bold compact SUV design with LED lighting and a confident road presence. Inside, the cabin is well-equipped with BYD's touchscreen infotainment system, driver assistance features, and the kind of interior quality that the brand has become known for across its range. It is spacious enough for a family of four with luggage and works well in both urban and suburban environments.

Why consider a PHEV instead of a full EV For buyers who are not able to install a home charger, or who regularly travel long distances between cities, a plug-in hybrid removes the charging infrastructure concern entirely. You can run on electricity when charging is convenient and fall back on petrol when it is not. The ATTO 2 DM-i gives you that flexibility in a compact, practical package.
