Compare one NEVO Q05 with one BYD Atto 2 on the same destination and delivery boundary. Preserve each official test-cycle label, test family space and charging against real use, and price service support and import risk alongside the vehicles.
Compare exact market versions
The current Thailand-market Q05 reference lists 4,435 mm length, a 2,735 mm wheelbase, 450 litres of luggage space and a 51.9 kWh LFP battery. BYD's initial European Atto 2 material lists 4,310 mm length, a 2,620 mm wheelbase, 400 litres of luggage space and a 45.12 kWh Blade Battery. Dimensions suggest different packaging, but the buyer should still perform the family and luggage test on the actual candidates.
Record model year, market and trim beside every specification so figures from different versions cannot migrate into the table.
Keep range and charging evidence comparable
Compare official documents and candidate evidence for motor, battery identity, connector, AC/DC limits, charging curve, heat pump, V2L, tyres, safety equipment, phone integration and warranty territory. Do not rank Q05's NEDC number directly against Atto 2's WLTP number. Use one route-based range method for both.
Never rank NEDC and WLTP values as though they came from the same test; use route-based evidence where a direct decision is required.
Test destination support
Assess both cars in the buyer's destination rather than transferring another market's support assumptions. Dealer coverage, diagnostic access, app region, charging networks and parts availability may reverse a specification-led choice. Confirm whether each quoted car matches the official market material being used and whether independent import changes warranty or connected-service access.
Confirm charging, software, workshop and parts access for the buyer’s country before treating either vehicle as supported.
Compare complete landed value
Put both offers on the same registered-and-ready basis using the landed-cost worksheet. Add inspection, cable or wallbox needs, freight, tax, compliance, first service, parts exposure and resale familiarity. Maximum charging headlines should not outweigh actual route convenience or evidence quality.
Include inspection, freight, tax, compliance, first service and risk reserves on both sides of the comparison.
Score two real candidates
Freeze two candidate rows before deciding. Record production date, market, trim, steering side, connector, fitted tyres, battery label, motor, software version, included cable and warranty territory. Use the same passengers and luggage to test seating, rear access and cargo configuration. Plan the same urban and intercity routes, keeping NEDC and WLTP labels separate and relying on measured consumption only when temperature and speed are documented. Request charging evidence that shows more than a peak number, then map local AC and DC access. Add dealer or independent-workshop coverage, parts lead time, insurance and resale familiarity. Finally compare both quotations at the same registered-and-ready delivery point with identical risk reserves.
Freeze the two VIN or candidate records and repeat the comparison if either offered vehicle changes.
Record the approval decision
Select a vehicle only when both exact market versions are identified and cabin, range, charging and destination support have been compared on compatible evidence. The commercial worksheet must bring both offers to the same registered-and-ready point. If the quoted car, test cycle or support route differs from the comparison record, reopen the decision instead of carrying the model-level result forward.
Retain the approval with the VIN file and reopen the review whenever the candidate, destination or commercial boundary changes.
Buyer approval checklist
Use these fields as a candidate-specific decision record. Assign each unresolved item before approving payment or shipment.

Which vehicle has the longer official range?
Do not rank the published figures directly: the cited Q05 figure is NEDC while the initial European Atto 2 figure is WLTP. Compare route-based use and compatible evidence.
Which one has more boot space?
The cited official materials list 450 litres for Q05 and 400 litres for the initial European Atto 2, but load shape and candidate equipment still need a practical test.
What should decide the import choice?
Exact market specification, usable cabin and charging, local service and parts, software access, destination compliance and complete landed cost.
