Compare the BYD Atto 2 vs Ford Explorer
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the BYD Atto 2 and the Ford Explorer provide a totally flat rear floor and useful underfloor storage in the boot for your charging cables. Around town, the Atto 2 is comfortable and dispatches big speed bumps and potholes with ease, whereas the Explorer has stiff suspension that never really settles over them. At higher speeds on the motorway, the Ford's suspension settles down nicely, while the BYD rocks from side to side a bit and never really feels settled at a cruise. On twisty roads, the Explorer shows very little body roll through corners, whereas the Atto 2 leans plenty around turns and feels out of its depth.
