    The electric SUV was crash tested by Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) and ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Programme) last month and was awarded with a five-star safety rating. However, in the latter assessment programme, the rating came only for the New Zealand market with Australia remaining unrated on account of a review by federal regulators.

    The matter involves the placement of child restraint anchor points that also led the Chinese automaker to suspend the vehicle’s sales for a few weeks. Well, the issue has been resolved now and ANCAP has finally announced a 5-star safety rating for the BYD Atto 3 rating in Australia. The full-star rating is applicable to the models that will be built from 21 November 2022.

    • Adult occupant protection - 91%
