No airbags, no ESP, no emergency braking and no automatic cut in the high voltage network in the event of an accident, the cheap electric car Suda SA01 accumulates tares.And it is well approved in Europe.
It has been a few years now that the Chinese government has encouraged its industrialists to invest outside their borders.The domestic market is good, but placing the milestones of an international presence is essential for a long -term vision.And car manufacturers do not escape.
Even if, for the time being, Chinese cars are very rare on our roads (apart from Aiways or Byd, there is not much), there are somewhat special offers, like this Suda SA01.A Chinese car that entered Europe last month.In Germany, more particularly, where the ADAC (Automobile Club German) is indignant to see such a dangerous car be sold.

ESP, airbags, automatic high voltage disconnection in the event of an accident, passive safety effective safety...All this is absent on the SA01.
"In addition to the missing airbags in the driver and front passenger seats, the non -existent belt retractors also had a negative impact in the accident," said ADAC.But then, how could this car have been approved for Europe?Quite simply as a "small series", which allows manufacturers to escape numerous security obligations.
It must be said that at 10,390 €, excluding bonuses, it is the cheapest new electric car in Europe, and it offers 39 kWh of battery with autonomy on WLTP 200 km cycle.
