We will use the remote control to change the station, but we will not feel that because we can use the remote control, we know how to understand the TV; we will use the refrigerator, know what to put refrigerated, what should be frozen, but we will not feel that we know the refrigerator very well. However, in the field of automobiles, people who can drive, people who buy cars early, in the face of the superiority of those who have not yet had a driver's license and have not yet bought a car, will give themselves an illusion: I understand cars.
"One Japanese field, lifelong Honda", "Japanese cars are durable, fuel-efficient and worry-free." "Toyota is not bad, one car is passed on for three generations, people are still walking..." These comments about cars are familiar to us, but the strange thing is that even many people without driver's licenses say so.
As a result, many people chose the Japanese system and disdained domestic brands. But they don't know that the Haoying of "One Japanese Field, Lifetime Honda", the 200,000-level SUV, the whole vehicle does not give you a high-strength steel with a tensile strength of more than 1,000 megapascals. Saying that Japanese cars are worry-free and durable, they do not know that the CVT widely used in Japanese cars, the failure rate will increase with the increase of mileage, and this process is irreversible, last year on the 315 Infiniti CVT problem, in fact, Nissan all series exist. With three generations of Toyota, the problem of increased oil emulsification has not been solved. Suppliers of steel fraud, air bag fraud, various parameter fraud, and these Japanese car companies use counterfeit spare parts, and even claim that there is no impact on quality.
To this day, Japanese cars still have a very high market share in China, and to be honest, it has a great relationship with the "car" of the Chinese people. Of course, the more people who don't understand cars, the more people who are lazy to think believe that "sales say it all". As long as people who can think independently are clear, looking at sales and buying a car, they can only become a fat sheep in the "herd effect".
Why do you say that you know the choice of car? We see by looking at the material.
Take Peugeot's new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition as an example: the proportion of high-strength steel used in the body has reached 74.2%, and the maximum tensile strength has reached 1600 MPa! The front and rear are all aluminium alloy anti-collision beams, and both are equipped with energy-absorbing boxes. Front and rear longitudinal beams of laser spray welding of unequal material thickness. Even the strength of the stiffeners of the doors has reached 1200 MPa, and the anti-collision reinforcement plate on the side of the door has reached 1500 MPa!
The cost of these places cannot be seen by consumers, but once the danger occurs, these solid materials and passive safety design can save lives! Not long ago, on the highway, a 4008 was squeezed and dragged for hundreds of meters by a large truck that violated the law, still keeping the steel structure of the body not deformed, and the occupants of the car were safe and sound. Imagine if this is a shadow that does not have an intensity of more than 1,000 megapascals in the whole car? Do you hear them say that cars are used to drive, not to crash?
The development of the automobile industry to this day, the process has been more earth-shaking than decades ago, and the technology has matured. Durable and not bad is just the threshold for car companies to build cars, and there is nothing to boast about. On the contrary, the quality problems of most vehicles today are actually related to materials and design defects.
For example, almost all Models of German and Japanese, in order to save costs, either reduce the use of sound insulation cotton, or use recycled cotton (black heart cotton) as a sound insulation material. In some car dismantling programs, all of them are exposed.
In contrast, what are the French cars used for? Take Dongfeng Peugeot 408 as an example, leather, to give you an environmentally friendly water-based finishing agent (no harmful substances such as benzene, aldehydes, ketones and so on). The interior acoustic mat does not contain any recycled cotton, and the 11 types of acoustic mats are all green materials. Including interior adhesives, it also uses environmentally friendly water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives, and does not contain harmful substances such as benzene, aldehydes, and ketones.
The automotive inspection center of China Automobile Research Institute has a high-temperature VOC test, which is simply to detect the air quality in the car. However, this test is more stringent, to simulate the level of volatile content in the vehicle under the working conditions of high summer heat weather. The Dongfeng Peugeot 408 has received excellent evaluations for various air quality indicators. This is the material used in some invisible places for French cars.
The use of high-strength thermoformed steel for you is not only a matter of safety improvement, but also an advantage of using environmentally friendly interior sound insulation materials, and not only the air quality in the car. It reflects the brand's values and the conscience of car companies!
I do not praise the chassis of the French car, although everyone knows that the chassis of the French car is good, even if it is a torque beam, it can still be adjusted to the comfort of the independent suspension and the control that far exceeds the ordinary multi-link. But there is nothing remarkable about this, the accumulation of technology is only, not completely insurmountable. I also do not praise some of the ingenious designs of the French car, such as the steering wheel center is not moving, to ensure the accuracy of the airbag pop-out position in the event of an accident, these intimate are intimate, but not the core advantage. However, the materials for French cars, I must write a big book! Because, if such a conscientious car brand is buried, I am afraid that there will be no more car companies, working hard in these invisible places...
