In the evaluation results of the latest batch of C-NCAP models in 2022, we see a familiar figure, which is the Pentium B70. Participating in the test was the third generation of the Pentium B70, which won the C-NCAP five-star safety certification with a comprehensive score rate of 90.3%. It should be known that this is the second time that the Pentium B70 has won this honor, and it is also the only independent intermediate family car that has won two C-NCAP five-star safety certifications so far, which can be called "China's independent home car safety leader".
In this crash test, the third-generation Pentium B70 scored 92.08% in the occupant protection category, 74.83% in the pedestrian protection category, and 97.34% in the active safety category, with a balanced performance. Next, let's take a look at how the Pentium B70 performed in crash tests.
In the full frontal crash test, the third-generation Pentium B70 scored 19.04 out of 20 points, which simulated most of the car environments such as hitting trees, walls or rear-end collisions. Judging from the form after the collision, the A-pillar and B-pillar of the Pentium B70 have no obvious deformation, the crew compartment structure is intact, and the door can be opened normally. To achieve such excellent results, the body structure of the Besturn B70 is indispensable, the overall ultra-high-strength material yield strength of the Besturn B70 is greater than 1500MPa, and the overall body high-strength steel accounts for up to 76%, providing the most effective basic protection for the occupants of the car. In the event of a collision, the collision force is effectively dispersed to the engine compartment, and the body parts of the engine compartment are deformed to absorb the energy at the time of the collision. In addition, the Pentium B70 also adopts engine sinking technology to avoid engine intrusion into the cockpit during collision, ensuring the safe space of the crew compartment; at the same time, the front airbags are ejected in time to provide all-round full collision protection for the occupants of the car.
In the frontal 40% bias crash test, the third generation of the Pentium B70 scored 16.259 (out of 20 points), that is, simulating the collision of oncoming vehicles or the sudden encounter of obstacles on the road, such as encountering retrograde vehicles that are too late to avoid, suddenly encountering small animals or pedestrians crossing the road during normal driving. After the collision, the crew compartment of the Pentium B70 is intact, and the doors can be opened normally, ensuring that the personnel in the car can quickly leave the vehicle.
In the side impact test, the third-generation Pentium B70 scored 19.876 out of 20. That is, the vehicle being tested does not move and accepts the impact of the side. The Pentium B70 also exhibits extremely high crash resistance. After the collision, the amount of dent deformation of the front and rear doors on the impact side is very small, the structure of the B-pillar and sill beam remains intact, the front and rear doors can still be opened normally, the airbags and air curtains are opened normally, and the occupants remain in their original positions.
The "whipping test" is mainly to test the protective effect of the seat headrest on the neck of the occupant in a rear-end accident. The third-generation Pentium B70 is a good protector of the fragile head and neck of the human body in the event of a rear-end collision to avoid injuries caused by violent shaking.
In the pedestrian protection test, the Pentium B70 provides a full range of safety for pedestrians through the optimization of space and structure from the styling design to the front cabin layout. After testing, the B70 has a good effect on the head and legs of pedestrians outside the car. In the active safety test, the Pentium B70 scored 97.34%, in addition to the ESC scored 4 points, its AEB system with pedestrian detection function scored 10.601 points (out of 11 points), which ensured the safety of passengers to the greatest extent.
China has become the world's largest automobile consumer market, and we must not take the safety of cars lightly. The third generation of Pentium B70 obtained five-star safety certification in the 2018 version of the C-NCAP rules, which is called "the strictest C-NCAP in history", which not only refreshes the user's inherent cognition of the safety of its own brand, but also becomes its foundation and competitive advantage in the intermediate home car market.
