EPA estimates come from standardized lab tests so cars can be compared fairly; real-world mileage depends on speed, weather, load, tires and driving style.

2017 BYD e6 crash-test ratings

We did not find NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings for the 2017 BYD e6 (checked Oct 26, 2026). NHTSA does not test every model every year; see nhtsa.gov/ratings.

Star ratings compare vehicles of similar size and weight; a frontal rating for a large pickup is not directly comparable with one for a small car.
