There are more and more cars on the road, the traffic environment has become more complex, and everyone is paying more attention to the performance of car safety. Japanese cars have won the love of many Chinese people with their fuel-saving and durable characteristics. However, the safety performance of Japanese cars has always been criticized by the Chinese people, and when it comes to Japanese cars, everyone will always say that Japanese cars are "thin and stuffed", and even bicycles can't be hit.
Mr. Zhang of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, bought a Toyota Corolla, one of Toyota's best-selling compact family cars. Mr. Zhang said that he bought this car because of its high sales, and people around him said that Toyota's cars have high fuel economy and good quality control, so it is safe to buy such a car.
After buying this car, Mr. Zhang drove it to and from work every day. Mr. Zhang is very satisfied with the fuel of this car, in the case of very traffic jams in the urban area, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers will not exceed 6 liters, and the energy consumption when running high speed is as low as 4.5 liters, which is quite fuel-saving.
But the safety of this car made Mr. Zhang very dissatisfied, some time ago he was in a hurry to drive to work, when passing an intersection, did not notice that a bicycle came from the opposite side, and collided with the other party.
At that time, Mr. Zhang was also very worried about the safety of the bicycle, after all, he was a car, the bicycle and the car collided, and the serious injury must be the bicycle. However, after getting off the car, Mr. Zhang was dumbfounded, the bicycle was unharmed, and his car was injured "without skin".
The bike directly knocked Corolla's front face into a dent, and the front surrounded iron was hit and dented. The wheels of the bicycle are still very round, but the tires have been hit.
This accident caused a lot of citizens to watch, everyone saw Corolla's front face, they were all full of disbelief, how can a small bicycle be compared with a car? But who would have thought that the result of this traffic accident would be a car transport.
Many people also said that this is the so-called energy absorption of Japanese cars. How fast a bicycle can be, how can it have such a big impact, it seems that Japanese cars are really "thin skin and big stuffing".
Hearing the discussion of the citizens, Mr. Zhang's face turned red, and he felt that his face was lost, and he should not have bought a car for sales at that time.
In addition to fuel saving, The Japanese car is most proud of the "energy-absorbing" body. In the event of a violent collision, the deformation of the front end part increases the collision and deceleration distance of the person, thereby ensuring the personal safety of the driver and occupants in the car. But many people also wonder, is this really done for safety? They think that the reason why Japanese cars say they can absorb energy is to find a cover for themselves.
According to the 2021 China Vehicle Reliability Research Report released by JD Power in the United States in 2021, only FAW Toyota ranks relatively high, GAC Toyota and GAC Honda are very low, and Nissan's ranking is down to 20. If energy absorption is really to ensure driving safety, then why is their reliability ranking so low?
Editor's Short Comment:
Japanese cars have also accompanied the Chinese for more than 20 years, and everyone has recognized its fuel-saving performance, but there has been a lot of controversy about the safety of Japanese cars. Especially after comparing the configuration of domestic and foreign special models, there is obviously a difference, which makes everyone dissatisfied with them, and even many people say that the wagon of the Japanese car is too thin, which is a "paper paste car".
