Compare the BYD Atto 2 vs Cupra Born
AI generated from our expert reviews
When deciding between these electric models, the Cupra Born is more efficient than the BYD Atto 2. Out on twisty roads, the Born changes direction eagerly, grips well and does not lean too much in the bends, whereas the Atto 2 feels out of its depth with plenty of body lean. On the motorway, both cars suffer from steering that can frustrate: the Atto 2 never really feels settled at a high-speed cruise, while the Born feels a bit twitchy in a straight line. For carrying passengers, the Atto 2 has enough room in the rear for three adults to sit side by side with little complaint, whereas three will fit in the Born only for shorter journeys because shoulder room is a bit tight. Finally, the Atto 2 has safety assistance software that is far too sensitive and hard to switch off, while the Born features systems that are easy to turn off.
