Today, Euro NCAP has evaluated three Chinese electric family cars: the BYD SEAL, XPENG P7 and the BYD DOLPHIN.
The results of the earth-shattering evaluations have taken the automotive world by storm, as each of these cars have achieved exemplary ratings and have captured the attention of car enthusiasts around the world.
Cars from China have had a bit of a reputation in past years, but these three cars have certainly broken the mold. To put it simply, these cars offer incredible value for money to car buyers. They are equipped with the latest in safety technology, containing 10 airbags along with standard driver-assistance features such as an adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning.
In addition to their superior level of safety, the BYD SEAL, XPENG P7 and BYD DOLPHIN also boast impressive ranges, offering up to 425km on a single charge. The long range ensures that drivers will not need to worry about constantly stopping for recharging.
The BYD SEAL and XPENG P7 are equipped with dual electric motors, allowing them to achieve an impressive acceleration of 0-100km/h in just 4.7 and 3.9 seconds respectively. The BYD DOLPHIN, however, is not as powerful. It is a single-motor electric vehicle, thus taking a full 7.2 seconds to reach 100km/h. That being said, the Dolphin offers the longest range of the three cars, with up to 440km on a single charge.
The BYD SEAL, XPENG P7 and BYD DOLPHIN each offer an array of feature-some standard and some optional-such as air filters, heated and ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Furthermore, they all contain digital displays, allowing the drivers to adjust the vehicle’s settings such as the air conditioning, driving modes, and audio.
Overall, the BYD SEAL, XPENG P7 and BYD DOLPHIN are well-crafted, high-tech electric cars, offering tremendous safety, performance and a range of features that are rarely seen in other electric models. They are also more affordable than their traditional petrol-powered counterparts, with prices starting from around €30,000 (or roughly £27,000).
The BYD SEAL, XPENG P7 and BYD DOLPHIN will undoubtedly become a strong force in the electric car market and are sure to focus the attention of European car buyers, as the results of Euro NCAP’s evaluations have demonstrated that they can keep up with the best the traditional automotive industry has to offer.
Being the first Chinese electric family cars to be officially assessed by Euro NCAP, the BYD SEAL, XPENG P7, and BYD DOLPHIN have set the bar incredibly high. These cars are sure to make a huge impact in the electric vehicle industry and could be the fuel to fasten the rise of electric mobility.
