All along, the 100,000-level family car market has been the main battlefield of the joint venture brand, and Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have all concentrated their firepower to firmly occupy this market. In the minds of many consumers, there is a traditional concept: "The joint venture brand car has better performance and is safer than the domestic car".
The moon abroad is rounder than the domestic one? Is this really the case? Ten years ago, this statement may have been convincing. But now, after Chinese brands break down technical barriers and achieve scientific and technological equality, Chinese brand home cars can confront joint venture rivals regardless of design, intelligence, quality and safety.
In the just released 2022 sales list, it can be seen that the sales of a number of joint venture brand car explosions have declined, and the sales of individual models have fallen by more than 30%. The reason is that the product strength of the joint venture car is outdated. If nothing else, take the safety performance that fans care about the most, now, Chinese brand car is doing better and better, ranking at the top of the C-NCAP test.
On March 1, CHINA AUTOMOBILE Center announced the evaluation results of the latest batch of C-NCAP models in 2022, and the new third-generation Besturn B70 performed well, with a comprehensive scoring rate of 90.3%, and obtained the C-NCAP five-star safety certification. This is the third time that the Pentium B70 has won a five-star safety evaluation after the second generation of Pentium B70 has won a five-star safety evaluation. And this special honor of "double five-star", in the independent brand car, only one model of the Pentium B70 can be realized. From the second generation to the third generation, the car market has entered a new era, but the Pentium B70 has not changed the original intention of "safety-oriented".
Not only that, but the ghost brother also looked at the five-star safety results of the C-NCAP test in the past year, and the first model was also the third-generation Pentium B70, which surpassed the overall scoring rate of many mainstream joint venture competitors, including the tenth generation Sonata, Asiatic Lion and Sagitar. So, how is the third-generation Pentium B70 equipped in terms of safety protection?
As a family's travel "CP", the third generation of Pentium B70 has indeed made a lot of "efforts" in safety equipment. This model adopts a "double E" circular body, the biggest feature of this body is that once the vehicle collides, the impact force is transmitted to the entire body through the front and rear through the longitudinal beam, sill beam, middle channel reinforcement beam, etc., and the energy absorption effect and dispersion effect are better, thus further protecting the safety of the personnel in the car.
Again, look at the following set of data, the body structure thermoformed steel accounted for up to 22%, the vehicle high strength steel accounted for up to 76%, yield material strength greater than 1500MPa. Such "steel and iron bones" are extremely rare in the same class of models, and some joint venture brands may not show such sincerity in their B-class models. The third-generation Besturn B70's excellent performance in the C-NCAP test is also inseparable from FAW Besturn's real materials.
Moreover, in terms of safety equipment, the third-generation Pentium B70 is also full. For example, the new car is equipped with 6-azimuth airbags. In addition, there are a series of intelligent safety protection systems, for example, the third generation of Pentium B70 is equipped with up to 14 ADAS functions, reaching the L2.5 level of automatic driving, which can help women and novice owners solve various driving control problems and further provide safety protection.
It is from the body design, to the materials to the intelligent equipment, under the all-round empowerment, the third generation of Pentium B70 can stand out in the domestic authoritative C-NCAP safety test and achieve good results. In fact, whether it is a joint venture brand or an independent brand, if you want to win consumers, safety is the first element to impress consumers, and excellent safety equipment can allow car owners to have a reliable car life.
Ghost Bucket Car View: More than a decade ago, Chinese brands exchanged prices and configurations for the market. Today, Chinese brands have deeply practiced internal skills and have the absolute strength to compete with joint venture rivals in terms of power, safety, and technology. FAW Besturn, from software to hardware, multi-pronged approach, and always adhere to the "safety-oriented, quality-first" product concept, and therefore, the second and third generation of Besturn B70 have obtained five-star safety certification in the C-NCAP model test, providing fans with a cost-effective life "companion".
