BYD Atto 2 vs Jetour Dashing
Verdict
The BYD Atto 2 is the cheaper and punchier urban choice at RM100,000, with an electric motor making 174 hp, a 51.1 kWh battery and 345 km of range. It is smaller, though: the Jetour Dashing is 280 mm longer, has a 100 mm longer wheelbase and a 486-litre boot against 380 litres. The Jetour’s RM106,800 price buys more C-segment space, a 1.5 litre petrol drivetrain and one extra year of warranty, but it has four airbags to the BYD’s six.
Pick the BYD Atto 2 if you want the lower price, EV running and a smaller SUV with six airbags and AEB.
Pick the Jetour Dashing if you want the larger C-segment body, bigger boot and petrol refuelling convenience.
