The BYD Yuan UP — sold in export markets as the ATTO 2 — is the car that answers the most common question we get in Lagos: can I buy a proper electric SUV, brand new, without waiting months for shipping? Right now the answer is yes. One Vitality Version, Intelligent Driving Edition unit is in Nigeria with zero mileage, priced at ₦43,000,000 as a direct purchase.
What the BYD Yuan UP actually is
The Yuan UP is BYD's entry-level intelligent-driving SUV, built on the e-Platform 3.0 architecture that underpins the company's global line-up. It is a five-seat compact SUV measuring 4310 × 1830 × 1675 mm on a 2620 mm wheelbase, with a 340 L boot that expands to 1330 L with the rear bench folded. A single front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers 70 kW (95 hp) and 180 N·m, good for a 3.9-second 0–50 km/h sprint and a 130 km/h top speed — calibrated for city responsiveness rather than headline acceleration figures.
The Blade Battery and what 401 km means here
Power comes from a 45.12 kWh BYD Blade Battery — lithium iron phosphate cells arranged in long, flat blades that form part of the vehicle's structure, adding body rigidity while passing the nail-penetration test that most conventional packs fail. LFP chemistry is also the most thermally tolerant mainstream battery type, which matters a great deal in a country where cars sit in 33°C traffic for hours.
- 401 km on the CLTC cycle (the manufacturer rating)
- 320–360 km realistic in normal Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt urban driving
- 240–280 km on sustained highway running or heavy air-conditioning use
- Lifetime tri-electric warranty (motor, battery, controller) for the first owner
Charging — and powering your house from the car
On a 7 kW home wallbox the pack fills in six to seven hours, which is an overnight charge on a standard compound supply or an inverter-and-solar setup. On DC fast charging the Yuan UP accepts up to 70 kW, taking it from 30% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes. The car also supports VTOL — vehicle-to-load — discharging up to 3.3 kW through an adapter. In practice that means the car can run freezers, lighting, a small office or event equipment during an outage, which for many Nigerian buyers is a second reason to own it.
Intelligent driving and cabin technology
This is the Intelligent Driving Edition, so DiPilot L2 assistance is fitted: adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition. Inside, the DiLink cockpit centres on BYD's signature rotating floating touchscreen with Android app compatibility, a digital instrument cluster, the "Hello, Xiao Di" voice assistant with continuous conversation, NFC phone key and remote control from the app. Safety hardware includes a high-strength cage body, driver, passenger and side airbags, ESP, TPMS, reverse radar and camera.
Price, and why this one is outright purchase only
The Yuan UP is listed at ₦43,000,000 as a straight purchase. It is not on our 10% equity EasyPay financing plan — this is a single zero-mileage unit already in the country, so it is sold buy-and-drive rather than through a bank application that would take weeks. Buyers who want financing should look at our CIG Motors line-up, where the GAC Aion Y and Wuling Bingo EV are available from 10% equity across 6 to 60 months.
