Does the BYD Atto 2 Have a Frunk? Front Storage Options for LHD Models

No. The BYD Atto 2 has no factory frunk. Independent reviews such as carsales.com.au and Electric Car Advice Australia note that the motor sits low under the bonnet and leaves an open space with no built-in storage. A fitted frunk box turns that space into a small, tidy front trunk.

This guide is for Atto 2 owners in left-hand-drive markets who want somewhere to keep the charging cable, cleaning kit and small essentials out of the boot. It explains why the car ships without a frunk, how the different market names fit together, what a frunk storage box actually does, how one is installed, and how to order a single set or a sample.

Does the BYD Atto 2 Have a Frunk from the Factory?

The Atto 2 leaves the factory without a front trunk. Spec databases list its frunk capacity as zero or “no”, and reviewers who open the bonnet describe a wide cavity around the compact motor with plastic covers, cooling parts and fluid reservoirs, but nowhere designed to carry luggage.

That is a little surprising for an electric SUV, because many EVs use the space where an engine would sit as extra storage. On the Atto 2, the rear boot does all the carrying. Reviewers quote around 380–400 litres with the rear seats up, depending on market and measuring method. It is a usable boot, but once the charging cable bag, a first-aid kit, a warning triangle and some cleaning gear go in, everyday space shrinks quickly.

The good news is that the space under the bonnet is there. carsales.com.au specifically pointed out that the open cavity “could lend itself to an aftermarket frunk solution”. That is exactly what a frunk storage box is built for.

Atto 2, Yuan Up, Yuan Pro: One Car, Several Names

If you are searching for parts, the naming can be confusing. The same compact BYD SUV is sold under different names depending on the market:

For a frunk box, two details matter more than the badge: whether your car is left- or right-hand drive, and which version you drive. The Marvix box is made for the BYD Atto 2 (Yuan Up) in left-hand-drive form. If you are not sure which version you have, send us a photo of the open bonnet and we will check it for you.

Why LHD and RHD Frunk Boxes Are Different

Under the bonnet, left- and right-hand-drive cars are not mirror images of each other. Components such as the brake fluid reservoir, wiring routes and mounting points can sit in different places, so a box moulded around one layout will not sit correctly in the other. That is why frunk boxes for the Atto 2 are sold as separate LHD and RHD versions, and why owner forums in Europe regularly warn buyers to check the driving side before ordering.

Left-hand-drive Atto 2 owners are mainly in continental Europe and Latin America. If your steering wheel is on the left, the Marvix BYD Yuan Up / ATTO 2 LHD frunk storage box is the version designed for your car.

What a Frunk Storage Box Does

A frunk storage box is a moulded tray that sits in the open space under the bonnet and is fixed to the car’s existing mounting points. It does not change how the car drives. What it changes is where your everyday items live.

Common problems it solves

• Cable clutter in the boot. The charging cable is the item most owners want to move. In the frunk it stays easy to reach at a charger and out of the way of shopping and luggage.
• Wet or dirty cables. A cable that has been on a wet car park floor can go straight into the frunk box instead of onto the boot carpet.
• Items sliding around. Loose bottles and kits roll about in an open boot. Separate compartments keep small things where you put them.
• Emergency kit always in the car. Warning triangle, first-aid kit, gloves and a torch can live permanently in the frunk, so they never get taken out with the shopping.

The Marvix BYD Atto 2 LHD Frunk Storage Box

Our frunk box is made for left-hand-drive BYD Yuan Up / ATTO 2 vehicles and is moulded to follow the shape of the front compartment.

• Material: moulded PP + ABS, black.
• Layout: divided compartments, so the cable, cleaning items and small essentials each have their own space.
• Floor: ribbed, non-slip surface that helps stop items moving.
• Care: water-resistant, wipe-clean surfaces; the box can be removed when the front compartment needs to be accessed.

What to Keep in Your Atto 2 Frunk

The frunk works best for light, regularly used items that you want close at hand but out of the cabin.

Avoid heavy or fragile items, and anything that is temperature sensitive. The area under the bonnet is not insulated like the cabin, and the box should never stop the bonnet from closing normally.

How the Atto 2 Frunk Box Is Installed

Want the full detail? Our BYD Atto 2 frunk installation guide has tools, a checklist, all ten steps with photos and troubleshooting. The summary below covers the essentials.

The box fixes to the car’s own mounting points, so no drilling is shown in the procedure. It does mean removing some of the plastic trim panels around the front compartment and refitting them afterwards. A confident DIY owner with a plastic trim tool and a screwdriver can do it, and any workshop or accessory shop can fit it quickly. Work with the car switched off, on level ground, and keep each group of clips and screws in its own tray.

Step 1: Release the rear cover retainers

Open the bonnet fully. Along the windscreen side of the front compartment, release the six retainers that hold the rear edge of the factory cover. Note where each one came from.

Step 2: Release the outer trim clips

Release the six clips across the left and right outer trim panels. Support each panel as the clips let go. If a clip stays in the body, ease it out and keep it with its panel; replace any that crack.

Step 3: Lift out the centre panel

Lift the centre protective panel straight up and out, keeping it level so its tabs don’t catch. Put it down on a clean surface.

Step 4: Remove the side panels

Remove the left and right side panels. Mark which side each came from so they go back in the same place.

Step 5: Remove the four marked factory screws

Take out the four factory screws shown: two at the sides and two lower down. Keep them separate, as they go back in at Step 8.

Step 6: Prepare the box fasteners

Fit the supplied hardware through the four corner mounting holes of the box. Leave them slightly loose for now so the box can be aligned.

Step 7: Lower the box into place

Lower the box into the front compartment without dragging it over the trim. Line up its mounting points with the car and check that it sits flat and does not press on hoses, wiring or reservoir caps.

Step 8: Refit the four factory screws

Reinstall the four original screws at their matching positions. Start all four before tightening, then tighten evenly to a firm fit without overtightening.

Step 9: Refit the rear retainers

Press the six retainers back in along the rear edge of the box. Each should sit flush without rocking.

Step 10: Refit the protective panels

Put the left, centre and right panels back, aligning their tabs first and then pressing the clips home evenly. Check that every edge sits flush and that no clip or screw is left over.

Final checks

Before loading the box, look around its whole edge, make sure nothing is trapped, and remove every loose tool. Close the bonnet gently, reopen it and check that nothing has moved. If anything does not line up the way the photos show, stop and send us a picture. We will help you sort it out.

Single Set, Sample or Wholesale: How to Order

You can buy one box for your own car, order a sample to check the quality, or buy in volume for a shop.

• Single set (retail): delivered to your door. As an example, one set shipped to Spain costs around €100 door to door, with tax and shipping included (DDP).
• Sample: businesses can order one sample at least 20% below the retail price to check fit and finish before a larger order.
• Dropshipping: we can ship single sets directly to your customers.
• Wholesale: boxes are packed 3 sets per carton, with tiered pricing that drops as quantities grow.

Shipping costs depend heavily on the destination country and exact address, so the quickest way to get a price is to tell us where the box is going.
