Would byd cars even pass American crash testing? Serious question. That is a huge hurtle for many cars. Even bmw has issues with it. A really eye opening example is, they can’t bring the new m3 wagon to the US because it wouldn’t pass crash tests.
That doesn’t really mean much. Hence why I explained about the bmw wagon, because that’s a brand that is up there with Volvo for safety and the car passed European safety standards but not american.
And to be clear, it isn’t a knock on Chinese quality, more that cars need to be designed for the American market typically because of those kinds of things.
