Mouette BYD: Comprehensive Safety Evaluation and Cold Weather Performance Insights

Concerns about the safety of compact vehicles, comme le BYD Seagull, sont courantes chez les consommateurs. Répondre à ces préoccupations, the China Automotive Evaluation official WeChat account recently disclosed the results of the BYD Seagull’s evaluation conducted in accordance with the “Special Evaluation Regulations for Micro Electric Vehicles.” These findings, reviewed by the Automobile Evaluation Management Center of China Automotive Center, shed light on both the safety aspects and the car’s performance in various temperature conditions.

While an official C-NCAP score is pending, Autohome suggests that recent tests followed the C-NCAP and CCRT evaluation frameworks, primarily designed for the professional assessment of micro electric vehicles. The evaluation encompasses three key categories: usage safety, battery life charging, and collision safety.
