Happy start to 2023! BYD Seal received the C-NCAP five-star safety evaluation

author:pressure cooker

On January 16, "CAIC Center" released the latest 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%, and passed the "electrical safety" evaluation. This is the first hardcore endorsement from a third-party authority since the launch of Seal, and since the implementation of the C-NCAP Management Rules (2021 edition), the overall score rate of Seal models ranks first in the overall list.

The difficulty of the test has increased, and the new C-NCAP regulations have higher gold content

The model participating in the test is the 700km long-range rear-drive version of the BYD Seal. According to the latest C-NCAP Management Rules (2021 edition), seals have passed a number of high safety standards. The 2021 version of the "Management Rules", on the basis of the 2018 version, greatly increases the difficulty of the test, and the "gold content" of the test results is higher.

As shown in the figure, in terms of occupant protection, which users are most concerned about, seals scored a record 92.27%. The collision score was 58.211 out of 60, the whiplash score was 7 out of 7, the child occupant protection score was 3 out of 3, and 4 out of 5 for the side air curtain and E-CALL device. In terms of active safety, Seal also received a score rate of 92.97% because of its outstanding performance in various functions.

Technology leads the way

As the culmination of the e-platform 3.0, Seal has always attracted much attention, with cumulative sales of more than 50,000 units in less than 5 months after its launch, and such a high market popularity is inseparable from Seal's technical strength.

Seal is the first to use CTB battery body integration technology, which is inspired by honeycomb aluminum plates, which are more widely used in the aviation industry with light weight and high strength. How is it easier to understand? 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. Our common express boxes, as well as the cushioning devices of powerful airdropped armored vehicles, use this structure.

Thanks to this inspiration, BYD engineers developed a sandwich structure consisting of a battery pack with an integrated underbody panel, a "blade battery", and a battery tray. In particular, the aforementioned "honeycomb special structure" has become a "blade battery", different from the general soft bag or cylindrical cell, this structure of the CTB battery system can give full play to the "blade battery" is both an energy body, but also can be a structural part of the strength advantages, not only to solve the problem of battery system volume utilization, with the system energy density advantage to obtain a longer mileage, driving experience is also more comfortable.

Safety is the greatest luxury of electric vehicles

The seal has a body torsional rigidity of 40,500Nm/°, which is comparable to a million-class luxury car. The CTB battery system is also able to 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. In addition, the seal's full-frame subframe also helps to disperse stress, and its special collapse structure design can absorb crash energy more efficiently and protect the safety of occupants.

Strength blessing and good looks

Based on the flexibility of the e platform 3.0, and thanks to the technical advantages of CTB battery body integration, the design team created a perfect ratio of short front and rear overhangs and long wheelbase for the seal, while ensuring the seating space in the car, the body height of the seal is comparable to that of the mainstream mid-level luxury sports sedan, and the low-lying body posture looks elegant, stretched, and has a more extreme sense of sportiness. Haitian's first-line through-type water drop tail lamp uses parametrically distributed point light sources to enhance the sense of refinement and technology. Combined with the rear surround, derived from the seal tail fin design, it improves air diversion and further enhances recognition.

The interior design of the seal is highly consistent with the exterior style, full of various marine elements, making people feel relaxed and happy, but also feel the soft and dynamic overall atmosphere. The Seal's steering wheel is full and comfortable to hold. Excellent ergonomics and exquisite workmanship make users feel comfortable and considerate at all times, and also interpret the high-quality connotation of Seal's pure electric mid-size car, becoming the best choice for young users.
