BYD ATTO 2 vs Renault Scenic E-Tech

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Renault Scenic E-Tech has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 150 kW, which is roughly 88% higher than the BYD ATTO 2 at 80 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the BYD ATTO 2 finishes in about 32 minutes, which is 5 minutes quicker than the Renault Scenic E-Tech at 37 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Renault Scenic E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 625 km, which is roughly 313 km more than the BYD ATTO 2 at approximately 312 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Renault Scenic E-Tech consumes 181 Wh/km, compared to 184 Wh/km for the BYD ATTO 2. That means the Renault Scenic E-Tech uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Renault Scenic E-Tech has approximately 87 kWh of useable battery , while the BYD ATTO 2 has approximately 45 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Renault Scenic E-Tech has the higher published DC figure at up to 150 kW, but the BYD ATTO 2 actually finishes the 10-80% charge faster at approximately 32 minutes versus approximately 37 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Renault Scenic E-Tech supports up to 22 kW, compared to 7.4 kW for the BYD ATTO 2. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault Scenic E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 181 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Renault Scenic E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 625 km, which is roughly 313 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
