[–] reacharavindh 2y ago ↗ As much as I would love a sub 10K car, I would not think of one unless it has minimum safety features.. Does it have airbags where they need to be, and has ever participated in any crash tests? [–] ZeroGravitas 2y ago ↗ This seems to be the knee-jerk reaction of many.The slightly bigger siblings in the range got excellent scores in EU crash testshttps://www.euroncap.com/en/results/byd/dolphin/50011And this specific vehicle did well in the Chinese tests> BYD Seagull has tested to be 1st micro car awarded 3A for safety by C-NCAP Scoring 90%+ in operational, collision & charging safetySo I wouldn't be surprised to see it do well in other tests.
