The BYD ATTO 3 Electric SUV Achieves Highest Safety Rating

Chinese electric vehicle brand BYD Auto scores the highest five-star safety rating for their hugely popular ATTO 3 all-electric SUV.

The fully electric BYD ATTO 3 has earned a coveted five-star rating from Green NCAP, Europe's foremost independent greenhouse assessment program.

This remarkable achievement underscores the ATTO 3's exceptional energy efficiency. Making its European debut in 2022, the BYD ATTO 3 demonstrated impressive performance throughout the comprehensive testing process.

Green NCAP, as an autonomous initiative, is dedicated to fostering the development of eco-friendly cars that are clean, energy-efficient, and have minimal environmental impact. Its primary objectives encompass enhancing air quality, reducing resource consumption associated with passenger transportation, and mitigating global warming.

The evaluation of the BYD ATTO 3 by Green NCAP experts encompassed a range of test categories, including assessments of low consumption and efficiency in cold and warm laboratory settings, the highway cycle, and real-world on-road tests.

The highest accolade from Green NCAP is reserved for vehicles that not only significantly reduce their own emissions and greenhouse gases but also operate with minimal fossil fuel or electricity consumption under everyday driving conditions.

Outstanding Performance in Cold Ambient Conditions

In the Clean Air section of the assessment, the BYD ATTO 3 achieved a perfect score of 10 points, as determined by Green NCAP engineers. Furthermore, the ATTO 3 displayed impressive energy efficiency in both cold and warm laboratory tests, recording a consumption rate of 18.0 kWh/100 km.

Notably, the vehicle surprised Green NCAP engineers with its "unexpectedly low energy demands" during the challenging -7°C cold ambient test, a result attributed to the advanced heating system that effectively harnesses various sources of powertrain waste heat.

Efficient Powertrain and Heating Concept

As a fully electric vehicle, the BYD ATTO 3's greenhouse emissions are solely dependent on its electricity supply, resulting in an emission range of approximately 50-80 g CO2/km based on test consumption.

Thanks to its efficient powertrain and heating concept, coupled with the relatively low CO2 emissions of the electricity mix, the BYD ATTO 3 received an impressive rating of 9.7 out of 10.0. Green NCAP, in its assessment report, declared that the BYD ATTO 3 "easily collects all 5 Green Stars" and competes strongly with established EV brands in European markets.

Cutting-Edge Technology

The BYD ATTO 3 benefits from cutting-edge technology, featuring BYD's revolutionary new generation e-Platform 3.0. This platform incorporates the world's first highly integrated 8-in-1 electric powertrain, connecting all electric control units and management systems, along with the rigorously tested and ultra-safe Blade Battery.

Impressive Global Success

The BYD ATTO 3 has rapidly become a best-selling NEV (New Energy Vehicle) in numerous countries, including Sweden, Israel, Singapore, New Zealand, Brazil, and Thailand.

It has also achieved an impressive 5-star Euro NCAP rating and received prestigious accolades such as the 'VAB Electric Family Car of the Year of Belgium' and '2022 New Zealand Car of the Year,' among others. Last month marked a significant milestone as the 500,000th BYD ATTO 3 rolled off the production line.
