BYD ATTO 1 five-star ANCAP Rating
BYD can today confirm that its highly anticipated new compact EV, the BYD ATTO 1, has achieved a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating, positioning it as one of the safest EVs entering the market.
The five-star rating applies to both ATTO 1 variants and reflects the vehicle’s strong safety specification, advanced driver-assistance suite, and robust structural protection.The ATTO 1’s comprehensive standard safety suite includes Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Assist (LDA), Emergency Lane Keeping Assist (ELKA), Intelligent Speed Limit Control (ISLC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and a direct driver-monitoring system – a level of safety equipment usually found in larger, more premium vehicles.
The model achieved impressive results across every major assessment category, including:
-
82% Adult Occupant Protection,
-
86% Child Occupant Protection,
-
76% Vulnerable Road User Protection,
-
79% Safety Assist.
In addition to clinching maximum points for side-impact and oblique pole testing, and whiplash protection, the ATTO 1 also delivered strong Autonomous Emergency Braking performance across car-to-car, pedestrian, cyclist, motorcycle, and junction scenarios, reinforcing the effectiveness of its advanced driver-assistance systems.
“Safety is fundamental to BYD’s mission, so we’re pleased to see the ATTO 1 recognised at the highest level by ANCAP,” said Stephen Collins, COO of BYD Australia.
“This rating further cements our commitment to delivering world-class vehicles that combine leading technology, exceptional value, and uncompromising protection for drivers, passengers, and all road users.”
