    “The Sealion 6 is fitted with a cyclist anti-dooring system that provides information if a bicycle is approaching from the rear, however the information was not sufficiently early to be awarded points for this function,” ANCAP added.

    ANCAP Chief Executive Officer Carla Hoorweg lauded BYD as it continues to offer “high levels of safety to its customers.”
