PredecessorBYD Yuan Pro

The BYD Yuan Up (Chinese: 比亚迪元UP; stylised as Yuan UP) is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) manufactured by BYD Auto since 2024. Part of the BYD Yuan series that is named after the Yuan dynasty, the Yuan Up was introduced in February 2024 and has entered production in March 2024.[6]

In September 2024, the car went on sale in the first export markets, starting with South America under the name BYD Yuan Pro[7] (except in Colombia, where it retains its original name), and with a different local name BYD S1 Pro in Costa Rica.[8] The vehicle is marketed in Europe and Southeast Asia as the BYD Atto 2.[9]

In October 2025, BYD introduced a plug-in hybrid version of the vehicle in Europe, marketed as the BYD Atto 2 DM-i.[10]

Overview

The Yuan Up was launched in China on 26 March 2024 in three variants, with the option between 32 and 45.1 kWh battery option sizes.[11][12] The Yuan Up is based on the e-Platform 3.0 and powered by BYD Blade lithium-ion LFP Battery.[12]

The Yuan Up adopts the Dragon Face design concept that is used on the Song L EV, with a 'dragon face' front fascia, flap-type door handles, a floating roof design, a full-width rear taillight bar, and the rear bumper apron mimics the front bumper design.[13][14]

The interior has a D-shaped steering wheel with a signature Yuan (元) logo, 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen display which can rotate between landscape and portrait modes, perforated leatherette upholstery for the seats, a wireless charging pad, a crystal gear selector and physical buttons in the centre console.[13]
