Car manufacturers will meet local safety standards, so a BYD sold in the EU is probably going to be safer than a BYD sold in Mexico

Here's an example with Peugeot

In this case BYD lacks a local factory and their profit margins are significant enough that they don't maintain region-specific frame SKUs IIRC.

FWIW the Chinese market is one of the biggest for Volvo because Chinese consumers care about (perceived) safety.
