On January 16, 2023, "CATIC Center" released the new batch of C-NCAP safety crash test results, and BYD Seal won the five-star safety evaluation with a comprehensive score rate of 88.6%, ranking first in the list of new C-NCAP test models. This is the first hardcore endorsement from a third-party authority since the marine "leopard" seal was launched.
The difficulty of the test has been upgraded, and the new C-NCAP regulations have higher gold content
In this test, the 700km long-range rear-drive version of BYD Seal has undergone a more severe test than before. Seals have passed several high safety standards. The C-NCAP safety crash test was revised in 2021, which greatly increased the difficulty of the test, and the "gold content" of the test results was higher. Taking the original frontal "40% overlapping deformable barrier crash test" as an example, it was upgraded to "frontal 50% overlapping moving progressive deformation barrier (MPDB) crash test" in the 2021 version of the "Management Rules", simulating a frontal collision between both vehicles at a speed of 50km/h, and the collision kinetic energy in the test was greatly improved, and the test of vehicle structure was of course greater.
Even so, seals have outperformed their peers. For example, in terms of occupant protection, which users are most concerned about, seals scored a record 92.27%. Among them, the collision score was 58.211 out of 60, the whiplash score was 7 out of 7, and the child occupant protection score was 3 out of 3. In terms of active safety, Seal also received a score rate of 92.97% because of its outstanding performance in various functions.
Based on the advanced e-platform 3.0, SEAL creates the ultimate security for users
Seal's outstanding results in this safety test are inseparable from BYD's pure electric vehicle architecture platform: e platform 3.0, which was launched at a cost of tens of billions. e-platform 3.0 is an exclusive platform for pure electric vehicles, based on the development logic of high-end intelligent assisted driving, optimizing the comprehensive utilization efficiency of resources, and improving vehicle safety, BYD's black technology in the field of new energy vehicles is further structured and modularized, compatible with a variety of layout methods (front-drive, rear-drive and four-wheel drive), with high scalability, which will inspire the entire industry to think deeply about automotive technology and form change, and is the cradle of the real next generation of electric vehicles.
As a technical benchmark for the next generation of pure electric platforms, the e platform 3.0 focuses on optimizing body safety from the bottom and pioneering CTB (Cell to Body) battery body integration technology. This technology is inspired by honeycomb aluminum plates, which are also very well understood specifically. For example, two sheets of paper stacked together can still be easily folded into various shapes, but if you add a honeycomb-like special structure between the two sheets and bond them together, it can become a material with better structural strength and toughness.
Seal adopts an all-electric and exclusive safety body architecture based on CTB technology. The CTB battery system can not only withstand the crushing of 50-ton heavy trucks, but also form a more complete and efficient crash stress transfer path with the body-in-white, which can better absorb kinetic energy when the vehicle collides. Compared with the common CTP structure, the longitudinal force transmission performance of the CTB battery system of Seal is increased by 83%, and the safety of the interior structure is increased by 50%. The lateral force transmission performance has been improved by 125%, and the safety of the interior structure has been improved by 45%; The number of side pillar collisions in the whole vehicle has been reduced by 45%, which can be called an electric vehicle that constantly crashes.
Buy with your eyes closed, open with confidence, seal has become the best choice for young users
Safety is only one of the many advantages of Seal models, and the high efficiency, good battery life and fast charging of Seal have also been highly recognized by users and media. In the "2022 New Energy Winter Test" event organized by a well-known media, Seal withstood the test of low temperature and cold, and in the same competition of more than 60 test models, many test results of Seal models ranked among the best, and the reliability of the product was effectively verified.
As of the end of December 2022, BYD Seal sales exceeded 10,000 for three consecutive months, and in less than five months, cumulative sales exceeded 50,000 units. With the hardcore product strength, set the core advantages of intelligence, efficiency, safety and aesthetics, BYD seal is definitely the best choice for young users in the new energy era.
In the future, BYD Marine Network will continue to enrich product levels and categories with two major vehicle series, the pure electric marine life series equipped with e platform 3.0 and the warship series equipped with DM-i super hybrid technology, so as to provide users with more diversified choices with a more perfect car experience.
