Frequently asked questions
Is the Omoda E5 worth the extra £2,205 over the BYD ATTO 2?
The Omoda E5 costs £2,205 more than the BYD ATTO 2. For that premium it adds 43 miles more WLTP range. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Omoda E5 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the BYD ATTO 2 or the Omoda E5?
The BYD ATTO 2 is £2,205 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the BYD ATTO 2 comes out roughly £2,285 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the BYD ATTO 2 and Omoda E5 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 178 miles for the BYD ATTO 2 and 194 miles for the Omoda E5 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Omoda E5 goes roughly 16 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the BYD ATTO 2 or the Omoda E5?
The two are within 0 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 570 mm of total clearance for the BYD ATTO 2 and about 570 mm of total clearance for the Omoda E5. The BYD ATTO 2 also turns in a 0.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the BYD ATTO 2 or the Omoda E5?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the BYD ATTO 2 and 90% for the Omoda E5. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
