Recently, a car owner posted a picture of a traffic accident in the online community that has aroused concern. According to the owner of the car, he was driving the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L through an intersection without traffic lights, and was hit by a vehicle coming fast from the other direction to the side, and the traffic police determined that the other party was fully responsible. In this side collision accident, the safety of dongfeng Peugeot 508L has been highly praised by car owners.
From the scene situation, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L side after the strong impact of the solid anti-collision beam, the body structure is not deformed at all, only the door is slightly dented and there is no major obstacle, and the main airbag, side safety curtain are popped out in time, ensuring the safety of the owner. In contrast, the vehicle of the injured party appeared to be somewhat tragic, the body parts were scattered on the ground, and only the safety curtain on the side of the co-driver popped out normally, resulting in a slight injury to the driver of the car.

Seeing such results, it is no wonder that the owner will mention in the post that "508L I drove more than 20,000 kilometers, the more I drive, the more I like, this accident is to verify the safety of Peugeot is trustworthy." A thrilling car accident, because the car's solid safety performance is indeed commendable.
However, for the Peugeot brand, such a safety performance is also expected. After all, more than a year ago, the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L successfully challenged the "first public full-load high-speed two-way side collision test in China" in the crash test room of the China Automotive Technology and Research Center in Tianjin, with a scoring rate of 88.75%, and the on-site evaluation score was excellent. It is worth noting that this not only broke through the ceiling of the overall crash test difficulty at that time, but also adopted the form of CCTV and the whole network live broadcast, and Peugeot's confidence in the safety performance of its products can be seen!
If passing the crash test is a demonstration of Peugeot's confidence, then the safety performance in this real accident is the best verification of the operation of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L protection god. The ability to have such a performance stems from the "steel and iron bone" of its whole vehicle, and the application of high-strength steel in the whole vehicle accounts for more than 70%. The most important longitudinal beams of the body, A/B pillars, seat beams, door anti-collision beams and other parts, are made of high-strength thermoformed steel of up to 1500MPa, which means that it can withstand the weight of two adult elephants. In the accident experienced by the owner, it is the solid door anti-collision beam that plays a role, far exceeding the proportion of high-strength steel used in the same level, which greatly improves the safety of the driver and occupants.
At the same time, the body is also made of aluminum alloy in large quantities, which not only ensures safety but also ensures economy. On the one hand, the use of high-standard car-making materials, on the other hand, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L is also striving for excellence in the car-making process: the whole vehicle has more than 4600 ultra-high-density solder joints, the whole vehicle uses laser welding of more than 10 meters, and the 21-meter-long new structural adhesive far exceeds the same level to greatly improve the comfort and impact resistance of the body. The use of a large number of new materials and new processes has greatly improved the strength of the body and greatly guaranteed driving safety. Such an aircraft carrier-level protective god operation ensures a safe and secure journey.
Of course, the safety of the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L is far more than this, in addition to the last line of defense built by the "steel and iron bone", there is also the active safety of prevention and the health and environmental protection of the i-Cockpit all-sensory cockpit. Dongfeng Peugeot 508L is equipped with AEBS2 high-speed emergency braking, active braking and many other active safety configurations to help drivers avoid accident risks; And the use of systematic, all-round green material design system, the application of a large area of environmental protection materials in the cockpit, bringing a low-odor, low-VOC environmental protection cockpit environment, no longer worry about the air quality in the car affects the physical and mental health of the driver and passengers.
For consumers, travel safety is greater than the sky. And this real road collision just happens to witness the true quality of car safety. From the aircraft carrier-level "steel and iron bone" high-standard car-making materials, to the excellence of the car-making process, to the comprehensive and reliable active safety, meticulous health and environmental protection, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L with the praise of the owner to explain what is the operation of the god of protection, "conscience car" is deserved.
