The latest crash test of China Insurance Research Institute: the United States is not as good as the Japanese system, and the domestic tank 300 is very stable

Because there are strict test conditions and evaluation standards, which can more truly reflect the safety performance of the car when experiencing collision accidents, Zhongbao Research Institute has become a weather vane for testing the crash safety of the domestic automotive industry, and many consumers have also used this as a reference for car purchase, so every time Zhongbao Research Institute announces the test results, it will attract great attention, and even affect the sales of models.

Recently, China Insurance Research Institute announced the latest round of crash test results in 2022, and a total of 7 models participated in the crash test, including the American Buick Encore S, Buick GL8 Luzun, Tesla Model Y, Japanese Toyota C-HR, Nissan new X-Trail, French Citroen Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS, and domestic tank 300 models.

In the past, many people generally had the impression that the safety of American cars has always been relatively high, while Japanese is synonymous with unsafe, but the result of this collision is unexpected.

Among these 7 models, the best performing models include the Japanese C-HR, which has received the best evaluation of G in three aspects: occupant safety, pedestrian safety outside the car, and vehicle auxiliary safety, especially in the 25% bias collision on the driver's side, the airbag can burst normally, the A-pillar has not bent, and the entire body structure is intact, effectively protecting the occupants of the car. Although the C-HR is not the highest-selling model in the small SUV market, but in terms of safety, it is undoubtedly in the head camp, and the point of C-HR's loss of points is mainly in the structural impact resistance, maintenance economy, and crash compatibility, but the evaluation of the A-class has been better than most models.

In addition to C-HR, Nissan's new X-Trail has also received G-level evaluations in the three major items of occupants, laymen, and auxiliary safety, but its maintenance economy, maintainability, and collision compatibility have only received M-rated ratings, which are slightly lower than C-HR.

The sales of this generation of X-Trail after listing are indeed not as good as those of the previous generation, because of the use of a three-cylinder engine, so it is not welcomed by consumers. However, judging from the crash test results, the new X-Trail has greatly upgraded its technology, whether it is the strength of the body structure or the installation of the intelligent safe driver assistance system, which is far more than the previous generation.

In addition to the good performance of the Japanese system, the performance of the domestic tank 300 is also very good, even if it is the best performance of these 7 models, the first three have received G-level evaluation, but in the impact resistance and maintenance economy got an A-level score, and its maintenance economy small options also got a G-level score, which means that in case of collision maintenance costs may not be as high as imagined.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the roof strength test, the tank 300 also refreshed the roof load record of the test vehicle of the China Insurance Research Institute, and the maximum load pressure reached 151877 cattle, and the tank 300 is also the only hardcore off-road model among them.

Tank 300 in the market how hot presumably everyone is also very clear, it has refreshed the domestic hardcore off-road high annual sales record, has been almost in short supply, queuing to pick up the car state, in addition to the strong off-road capabilities, in the sense of science and technology, comfort, tank 300 have been taken into account, the popularity of this car also stimulated the development of domestic hardcore off-road models, and excellent crash test results also show that consumers do not love this car wrong.

The performance of the American car this time is more general, Oncoway S in the car occupants, laymen got a G-class evaluation, the side front 25% bias collision body structure is intact, the airbag is also a normal detonation, well protected the personnel in the car, or continue the tradition of collision resistance, but the auxiliary safety only got M, and the maintenance economy is P, indicating that the maintenance cost is higher.

Buick GL8 gets a G-level score in auxiliary safety, while the occupants and laymen in the car are all A, and the crash resistance is also P, it seems that it has a lot of room for improvement. And it is worth mentioning that it has always been the most popular medium and high-end MPV model in China.

Tesla in the car occupants, laymen, auxiliary safety have been given a G-level score, but as a new energy model, its maintenance cost is very high, some time ago the Internet also exposed a message, saying that a Tesla Model Y owner hit the corner of the wall when reversing, resulting in serious damage to the body, maintenance costs as high as 200,000 yuan, and his car purchase cost is less than 300,000 yuan, which is jokingly called tesla can only change the car can not be repaired.

There are many reasons for the high maintenance cost of Tesla, on the one hand, Tesla does not have its own after-sales service, in addition, its body process is relatively difficult, the cost is high, the vehicle electronic components are also very much, and the battery, motor, etc. These are not cheap, in short, open Tesla to buy enough insurance.

The performance of Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS is also very average, only the layman gets a G, the occupant of the car is A, and the crash resistance is M, which is a very medium result. As we all know, this car uses a more impact-resistant front and rear aluminum alloy anti-collision beams, but the overall crash effect is not ideal, according to professional analysis, it is likely that this car has not been replaced for many years, and the crash test standard has been improved by a round, especially 25% bias collision.

All in all, the crash test of Zhongbao Research Institute can not only give consumers a car purchase reference, but also play a role in supervision, hoping that this collision is not ideal models can give car companies a wake-up call and improve in the subsequent iteration process.
