With safety and sustainability at the forefront of the automotive industry, BYD is gaining a reputation for producing some of the safest electric vehicles (EVs) on the market.

BYD models like the Dolphin, Seal, and Seal U DM-i have consistently earned top safety ratings, including 5-star recognition from Euro NCAP, a leading vehicle safety assessment program in Europe.

BYD Dolphin

A compact EV ideal for families, the BYD Dolphin boasts innovative safety features such as the proprietary Blade Battery, which uses lithium iron-phosphate for greater thermal stability, reducing fire risks and enhancing battery lifespan. It scored highly in crash tests, achieving 89% for adult occupant protection and 87% for child occupant protection. The Dolphin's features include Autonomous Emergency Braking, Electronic Stability Control, and Driver Attention Detection, which monitors driver alertness and suggests breaks when needed.

BYD Seal

The BYD Seal offers outstanding structural integrity thanks to its e-Platform 3.0, which combines an 8-in-1 electric powertrain with the Blade Battery. The vehicle's high torsional stiffness and energy-absorbent frame contribute to its excellent performance in crash scenarios, scoring similar to the Dolphin in occupant protection. Additional safety systems include Lane Departure Warning and comprehensive airbag systems, ensuring protection from various angles during an impact.

BYD Seal U DM-i

The Seal U DM-i, a hybrid option, is built for larger families and longer trips, featuring advanced safety tech like HD panoramic imaging to eliminate blind spots and a robust steel structure for enhanced durability. Unique to this model are safety devices like window-breaking tools and seatbelt cutters, which allow safe and quick exits in emergencies. It also includes rear cross-traffic alerts and an intelligent driving system, which adjusts vehicle control in hazardous situations, providing safer handling.

BYD's commitment to safety is evident across its lineup, with each model designed to withstand rigorous testing standards and equipped with innovative technologies to ensure driver and passenger security. With these safety-focused models, BYD is establishing itself as a trustworthy choice in the EV market.
