When you buy a new car, you tend to take into account many criteria. Among them, the price as well as the design, and autonomy is also a very important point if it is an electric car. But one point is often left out, although it is as important as the others, or even more so. This is obviously a security issue. This includes driving aids, but not only because the resistance of the car is also very important. This is really crucial in the event of a serious accident.

BYD is on top
That’s why the independent organization EuroNCAP carries out crash tests to test all new cars that enter the market. Then the maximum rating is five stars, and all models obviously strive for the last one, which is not easy to get. But now it’s done for the new BYD Atto 3, which is slowly coming to the French market. So a small electric SUV has just appeared the best result in the Green NCAP crash test intended for electric cars.
Optimal security
Thus, this newbie got 91% for the protection of adult passengers and 89% for children. However, it errs slightly on the side of vulnerable users such as pedestrians with a score of 69%, while it scores 74% for driver aids. The SUV also impresses with emissions, even when it was tested at very low temperatures. BYD Atto 3 has been on sale in Europe for several months.
