Does the BYD F0 have airbags?
2 Answers
BYD F0 is equipped with airbags. The function of airbags: to protect passengers from colliding with objects inside the car, to distribute the collision force of the head and chest more evenly, and to absorb the kinetic energy of the passengers, thereby supplementing the effect of seat belts. Taking the 2015 BYD F0 as an example, it belongs to the microcar category, with body dimensions of: length 3460mm, width 1618mm, height 1465mm, wheelbase 2340mm, and fuel tank capacity of 30 liters. The 2015 BYD F0 has a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of a torsion beam with trailing arms. It is powered by a 1.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 68PS, maximum power of 50kW, maximum torque of 90Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
To be honest, when I researched the BYD F0, I found that its basic configurations usually don’t include airbags. This car is an economy model, and to keep costs low, the airbag system was omitted, especially in the entry-level versions. This means you need to be extra cautious about safety while driving, as in the event of a crash, the impact would rely solely on the seatbelt, posing significant risks. I once considered buying it because of its affordable price, but due to concerns about long-distance or highway driving hazards, I ultimately opted for a model with airbags. I recommend checking the manual or with the dealer before purchasing—some later high-end versions added a driver-side airbag, but it’s not common. Safety first—don’t just go for the cheapest option and overlook protection.
