Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of BYD ATTO 3 2022

Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
- a frontal impact test, 50% of the width of the car is striking an oncoming deformable barrier, also travelling at 50 km/h
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid full width barrier
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways
- a far-side impact test, the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated by two dummies in the front.
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled as well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies.

This is the reason I bought
BYD Atto 3.
5 Stars Crash Test rating.
Blade battery.
And many safety features usually only in high end cars.
And BYD Atto 3 got them ALL

BYD Atto 3 was built from ground-up
meaning the chassis & body are made purposely strong
to support the weight of the battery & in event of accident,
prevent accident' serious injuries.

Many other EV are NOT built from ground-up
but instead built from existing ICE car structure.
Which cannot support the heavy battery load.



My story:
a few months ago,
me & my friend (we are both old guys)
visited the BYD showroom.
I booked it & got it about 3 months later.
My friend did NOT, because he was not sure.

If he did booked it and bought it,
he will not be what he is now.
Half paralyzed.

Drove out of the house in his daughter' car
> an old Peugeot 308
Drove & crashed into neighbor house.
Total loss for the Peugeot 308.
COMPLETE FRONT GONE !!

He is a rich guy & has many other cars in the house.
But I think because of sentimental value,
he kept the Peugeot 308 & use it daily.

I can be 100% sure, his injuries will be much
less & not half paralyzed if he was driving a safe car like
BYD Atto 3.


In our old age especially, driving will not be as alert as a
young person, that's why a safe car is very important.
BYD Atto 3 is one of them

Thank you for listening to my ranting.
Have a nice day.

I’m really impressed by the air bag between driver and passenger protects both from side crashes!!!

[AgentSmith]

Very impressive how far Chinese cars have come! From 0 stars to 5 stars and even better results than many European cars

[hubertwalter]

Very good result. This one will soon be in the fleet of the German rental company Sixt.

[markmd]

I didn't expect they will do so well, bravo.

[sbomorse]

Nice to see a Chinese EV heading for the UK do so well.

[samD]

wtf... this is perfect. The Chinese Manufacturing amazing

[qilu]

no surprise here. byd has been getting better rating (subcatogory scores) than tesla in tests done in china.

[nicolewu]

I can see they put a lot of efforts to make these amazing cars! Good job👍

[sbgquth]

That AEB hazard light looks clear enough to warn other cars.
Such a good light control system!

[Abc-tury]

Just freaking amazing and imaginable. Go BYD!

Had a colleague take me on a quick test drive here in Aus yesterday. Quite impressive actually. They’ve hired an army of western educated designers and engineers and it’s partly American owned so they’re taking things seriously.

I think it is due to BYD blade battery technic. The battery pack and chassis are combined, making the car very solid.

La resistencia de esa carrocería es muuuuy buena. Bastante mejor que muchos europeos. Pasará como con los móviles. Nadie quería un móvil chino, luego era raro ver a alguien sin uno. Tiempo al tiempo.

[slavric]

I'm actually looking to import one directly from China. I'm impressed. The car is nice and well equipped.

Impressive, this the birth of a new strong competitor for EU brands, in the interest of EU consumers and their buying power.

Euro NCAP should implement also fire safety standards for battery break and short circuit, plus a team of experienced firefighters to judge ease of opening doors and rescue FAST civillians trapped inside (no hidden doors handles... very smart👎, by other brands).
This should be mandatory for all EVs (some considerations can apply also on ICEs and Hybrids).

Very cool car BYD, compact SUVs are super versatile 👍

Byd's Tang has a nickname in China: Road tank. It means BYD's cars are very safe

[johnmichaelrichards]

The central divide airbag is a great idea to prevent side sheer damage to the brain.However, it was clear from the videos that on side impact there was tremendous flexion of the neck which in reality could lead to severing or severe compression of the s[inal cord on the crirical cervical area, which would lead to paralysis, raraesthesia or death. Would be better to make the central airbag wider, particularly at shoulder to head level.

[weyneshea]

Hope I can buy one of these here in USA.

China is the largest consumer car market in the world, and the competition among automobile manufacturers of various brands in China is very cruel. Consumers are very concerned about automobile safety issues, so about 40% of German cars (VW BMW Mercedes-Benz Audi) in the world are bought by China people, because China people think Japanese cars are not safe enough.
Good safety of products is one of the biggest publicity slogans of all car companies.
