Friends who pay attention to the automotive industry, most of them know that C-NCAP is an institution famous for collisions, and has "bumped" many hot-selling cars and popular cars, and the results are surprising. And the recent incident of "Fire after the Crash Test of Wuling Capgemini" has made C-NCAP and Wuling Automobile the object of public opinion, and the old driver has come to see it with everyone.
First of all, let's talk about the results of this crash test, according to the information, the Wuling Capgemini model participating in the crash test is a 1.5T automatic flagship model, and the guidance price is 116,800 yuan. The overall scoring rate was 82.4%, of which the car scored 60.670 points in the occupant protection test, with a scoring rate of 86.67%, while in the pedestrian protection project it scored 10.295 points, a scoring rate of 68.63%, and as for the active safety project, it scored 11.399 points, with a scoring rate of 75.99%, both the scoring rate and the comprehensive scoring rate of the three major projects were lower than the average of the 84 models. Most importantly, an open flame was observed in the front capsule within 3 minutes of the frontal crash test, so according to the relevant procedures, Wuling Capgemini was treated by the falling star, and finally only received the C-NCAP "four-star" evaluation.
Compared with other family members of the Wuling brand, such a collision result is obviously not comparable to its price. It should be known that the crash test of the China Automobile Research Institute itself is not difficult, and many models with unsatisfactory test results in the Crash Test of the China Automobile Research Institute are basically five-star ratings, so the China Automobile Research Institute is also jokingly called the "five-star wholesale department".
As a "five-star wholesale department" of china automobile research, as long as the model structure is not a big problem, generally five stars are all excellent through the exam, but it is such a "easy" exam, this so-called five-star standard to build the Wuling Capgemini is still difficult to pass, only got four-star results, and after the collision also caught fire, if you get the Zhongbao Research Institute to test that the result may be worse, which does not cause psychological shadows to the owner or prospective owner?
Check the official information, Wuling Capgemini claims to be built in accordance with the GMS BIQ4 global highest car certification standards, with a body structure that surpasses the same level of high-strength steel, and the models participating in the crash test are also equipped with front front double airbags, front side airbags, through-side air curtains, automatic emergency braking systems, etc., which is the most abundant safety configuration model in Wuling Capgemini. Although it is equipped with automatic braking, it does not actually play a role in the vehicle-to-pedestrian automatic braking test, so this one gets a score of 0.
As another hot model of Wuling in the MPV market, Wuling Capgemini was only listed in November last year, and according to the latest data released by the Association, Wuling Capgemini's cumulative sales reached 57,142 units from January to October 2021, successfully squeezing into the top three of the MPV list.
Old driver spicy comment: Although Wuling has always given people a cost-effective, people-friendly impression, but this result is indeed disappointing, after all, this car as Wuling's first silver label model, positioning is higher than other red label models, I believe that the material will be more advanced, but to play a leading role, but the result is like this, Wuling loyal fans will think what? According to Capgemini's life cycle, next year the manufacturer should launch a small makeover, the problems exposed in this crash test, but for Capgemini to "make up for the shortcomings" provides an opportunity, depending on how the manufacturer deals with it, what is the attitude.
