With the rise of car ownership in the mainland, the frequency of traffic accidents continues to rise, for any driver, going out, the safety of the car has always been the most noteworthy point, after all, on the road to protect the owner, in addition to driving norms and various escape guides, only the car we drive. Different from buying a car to see the appearance, interior configuration, and power performance, driving pays more attention to the safety of the car, so how to know if your car is safe enough? Today we will talk about the automotive safety index.
Recently, the evaluation results of the second batch of test models of China's insurance safety index have also been officially announced, including a total of seven test models, this time we will take the 2021 Toyota C-HR as an example to see how it is?
The first thing we need to know is how this index is derived. The evaluation of the auto safety index this time is mainly from the four major aspects of crash resistance and maintenance economy, occupant safety in the car, pedestrian safety outside the car, vehicle auxiliary safety and combined with several small aspects, each index will be scored after the test, divided into P, M, A, G four levels, representing poor, general, good and excellent.
Taking crash resistance and maintenance economy as an example, through the test data we can find that its structural crash resistance defects have a total of 3, evaluated as A; the total number of repairability defects is 7, the evaluation is G; the total maintenance economic defects are 20.33, the evaluation is A; the collision compatibility, its front anti-collision beam is evaluated as A, the rear anti-collision beam is M, and the comprehensive consideration is evaluated as A, so its crash resistance and maintenance economy are finally evaluated as A.
Let's look at the safety index of the occupants of the car. The 25% bias collision evaluation of the driver's side front is G, and the evaluation is based on the test that toyota C-HR's vehicle structure and restraint system and dummy movement are excellent; and on the side collision, its vehicle structure, driver head protection and rear occupant head protection are all well done, and the comprehensive evaluation is G; in terms of roof strength, its maximum load capacity is 86940N, the measured equipment quality is 1475kg, the load-mass ratio is 6.01, and the comprehensive evaluation is G; finally, the seat / The static and dynamic evaluation results of the headrest are G, so the comprehensive evaluation of the occupant safety index in the car is G.
In terms of pedestrian safety outside the car, the head type test has a full score of 24 points and a score of 17; the leg type test has a full score of 6 points, with a score of 5.704; the upper leg type test has a full score of 6 points and a score of 3.692 points; the full score of this test is 36 points, and the total score of the car's pedestrian safety is 26.796 points, with a scoring rate of 74%, and the comprehensive evaluation is G.
Finally, looking at the vehicle auxiliary safety index, this data may vary depending on the configuration of the vehicle, so it can be seen that the model selected this time is also the lowest configuration. In terms of specific scores, AEB C2C scored 22 points out of 19 points; AEB VRC scored 56 points out of 54 points; LSS scored 14 points out of 14 points; the vehicle headlights scored 22 points, scoring 11.01 points; in addition, the car gave two more points because of E-call as a plus. The test scored 114 points, and the vehicle's total vehicle auxiliary safety score was 100.01 points, with a scoring rate of 87.7%, and the overall evaluation was G.
Through the test results of the above four indicators, we can conclude that the various test evaluations of Toyota C-HR are A, G, G, G, and on the whole, the safety index of this car can be said to be very reliable, and the safety can have a large guarantee, which is a good thing for the owners of Toyota C-HR.
summary:
The release of the safety index evaluation results is conducive to our understanding of the safety of the vehicle, and by comparing the relevant data, we can choose a car and buy a car is one more direction to consider. But the safety of the car is one aspect, it can only help us in an emergency, the most important thing is to improve our own awareness of safe driving, reduce safety risks.
