As the automotive industry continues to grow, our access to automotive knowledge increases and the market becomes more transparent. Although car companies are "sincere" in their configuration, there is still a phenomenon of allocation reduction in places that we can't see or pay much attention to.
To this end, Jianghujun has taken stock of four configurations that are easier to ignore, hoping that everyone can polish their eyes when buying a car.
Suspension
This configuration is often the easiest to ignore, if you do not ask in-store or network query, it is difficult to know the suspension configuration of the model.
For more common operations, the rear suspension is changed from a multi-link to a torsion beam, such as the Mazda 3 Axelas, which appeared in the replacement. The main reason for this is because of the cost savings, the difference between the two is nearly 4,000 yuan.
Most people probably don't care about this configuration, but car enthusiasts are more or less aware of the impact of suspension on driving. So, what if the jianghu jun told everyone that the suspension will affect driving safety?
For example, a few years ago, the Securities Times reported that sagitar had a broken shaft problem, which had a lot to do with the torsion beam suspension used, and if it was replaced by an independent suspension, it would avoid such a situation to a certain extent.
Collision avoidance beams
This configuration was noisy on the Internet before, but now there are still manufacturers in this invisible place to "move the knife". Even some small, compact models such as the Nissan Qida have their rear impact beams directly removed.
There are also some cars that have anti-collision beams, but have been stolen materials, such as some models of foam anti-collision beams are not metal, replaced by foam or plastic and other materials.
The importance of this configuration should be well known to everyone without going into too much detail. There are a large number of collision comparison videos on the network about the collision beam, and interested friends can go to see it.
In summary, in the event of a collision, the presence or absence of anti-collision beams and materials directly affects the size of the vehicle loss and the risk of damage to the members of the vehicle.
Front fog lights
At present, more and more car companies have canceled the front fog lights because there is no mandatory provision in the regulations.
According to national regulations: turn signals, high beams, low beams, hazard warning signals, front lights, rear fog lights mandatory requirements, and front fog lights for the car optional configuration.
In addition to meeting the regulations' so-called "minimum requirements," eliminating front fog lights also has a cost-saving reason. In addition, there are not many consumers in China who will use it correctly, and there are even cases of abuse.
However, at present, some first-class models have replaced the traditional fog lights with LED headlights, which is considered to be a technical iteration. Therefore, Jianghujun suggests that when buying a car, you can actively understand the lighting configuration of the model and learn how to use it correctly.
spare wheel
The reason why some car companies will cancel the spare tire, one is because the frequency of use is too low, many car owners and friends know that the air leakage to change the spare tire, but will not operate, so most of the friends are roadside assistance or help 4S shop.
On the other hand, it is to achieve the effect of weight reduction, achieve lower fuel consumption and longer battery life.
Moreover, tire technology has made considerable progress in recent years, like the familiar explosion-proof tire, tire repair fluid, can be used in an emergency, enough to support the vehicle to drive to the nearest repair shop, of course, after this is used up, it is still necessary to replace the new tire.
Even the current hot self-repairing tires on the market can directly save the trouble of repairing tires and replacing tires.
Of course, this does not mean that the spare tire is completely useless. It is recommended that you follow your own car use scenarios as a reference, for example, if the local car aftermarket is not developed, the spare tire is still quite practical.
At present, with the continuous improvement of national policies, the phenomenon of allocation reduction has eased, but there are still some manufacturers playing "edge ball". Therefore, when buying a car, we must understand more about the model configuration and choose a model that suits you according to your own situation. The car can be discounted, but the safety configuration can not be less.
