Pit avoidance guide! The most crotch-pulling models of Zhongbao Research Institute are all here

Hello, good morning, everyone!

Recently, the results of the latest phase of the collision of China Insurance Research Institute have been released. The results are mixed, the results of the tank 300 are very eye-catching, but the GL8 and Citroën Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS performance is still very general, and the occupant protection in the car only takes an A.

Because of the promotion of The China Insurance Research Institute, in recent years, everyone has become more and more concerned about car safety, and today we will sort out the most crotch-pulling models that have been hit in the history of the China Insurance Research Institute. It is not only a reference for everyone to buy a car, but also hope that these models can work harder in safety.

Who are the worst models?

What is the research of Zhongbao?

First of all, we must introduce what the crash tests of The China Insurance Research Institute have measured, and the crash tests of the China Insurance Research Institute mainly have four items: collision resistance and maintenance economy, occupant protection in the car, pedestrian protection outside the car, and auxiliary safety.

Among them, crash resistance and maintenance economy mainly measure the cost of repairing cars under small accidents, which is highly valued by insurance companies because of the amount of their claims. But for the owner, as long as you buy the car damage and the three, this item can actually be ignored.

Occupant protection is what we value most, and it is subdivided into 25% frontal bias collisions, side impacts, roof strength and so on.

Pedestrian protection and auxiliary safety are well understood, which refers to the protection of pedestrians, bicycles, etc. outside the car and some active safety configurations.

Based on the results of occupant protection that everyone is most concerned about, we have compiled the models with poor performance that Have been hit by Zhongbao Research institutes into the following table:

In-car member protection rating

Worst Rating P:

Barely passed: M

Acceptable: A

Regarding the classification of ratings, I think it is necessary to explain to you, because I think there is some beautification in it.

The test standard of China Insurance Research Institute is actually a reference to iiHS (American Highway Safety Insurance Association). IIHS divided the test results into four grades: G (good), A (ACCEPTABLE), M (MARGINAL) and P (POOR).

In China, translated as Chinese become excellent, good, average, and poor. Excellent is not to be said, and the other three translations are actually not very rigorous. A stands for ACEPTABLE is actually just acceptable, and we translate it as good. M stands for MARCHINAL means boundary, and I personally feel that it is more accurate to translate it as passing. And POOR, saying that it is poor is actually very implicit, and it is no problem to say that it is very poor.

That's why we listed the models with occupant protection in the car to A, because we felt that A was not a "good" result, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Which models have the most crotch pulls?

Grade p: Please avoid

First of all, the model that knocked out P can basically be abandoned, and there are only two models that get P: Baojun 510 and BYD Song MAX.

Of course, the test model does not fully represent the safety of the model on sale, because there are now new models. But I still don't recommend everyone to buy, because although the model has been changed, but there is no replacement, if there is no replacement, the body frame structure will basically not change.

However, the current sales of these two cars are also very dismal, Baojun 510 was once very popular, but currently only a few hundred monthly sales remain. Song MAX also once sold more than 10,000 yuan a month, but now it is also very marginal, but recently Song MAX launched a DM-i version of the model, whether the safety of this car has been improved, it remains to be tested.

H6 loses strength on the roof

According to the results, the Haval H6 is far from the worst, but because it has been dominating the list for many years, its collision results are the most concerned by everyone. So where is the difference in H6?

The H6 got the G in the toughest frontal 25% bias collision, but lost to the roof strength.

The load-mass ratio, which is the maximum weight that the roof can bear, is generally used to measure the strength of the roof, which is equivalent to several vehicle weights. The roof of the H6 can withstand about 4 weights, and Lynk & Co has been doing a better job in safety, compared to the Lynk & Co 01 can withstand about 5 times the weight of the car.

The significance of the roof strength is mainly in the protection of the car when overturning, or there is a large truck rolling over on the roof of the car, so this indicator is still very important.

However, the test is the 2020 urban platinum version of the H6, which belongs to the second generation of the H6, and now the third generation of the H6 has long been on the market. So this result does not represent the performance of the third generation H6.

INSPIRE pulled his crotch, but Accord was fine

Another model worth paying attention to is Dongfeng Honda's INSPIRE (Yingshipai), the focus is not only that it only knocked out an M score, but also that the Accord, which is the sister model of its sister model, actually knocked out a 3 G result.

Moreover, the 2018 models that Accord participated in the test, INSPIRE is the 2019 model, which means that the model update of INSPIRE. In the past, we have always felt that Accord and INSPIRE, CR-V and Haoying, Leiling and Carlo, etc., are the same in design and materials, which appearance is preferred, or who is more preferential to buy who is on the line.

But INSPIRE's crash results tell us that this is not the case. As sister models, there may also be great differences in safety.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the two car materials are the same, but in the 2019 model, it is reduced, but the 2019 Accord did not participate in the test, otherwise the result and INSPIRE may be the same.

INSPIRE collision photo, the A-pillar is obviously bent

Rather than this possibility, I prefer to believe that the materials of the two cars are not the same. However, helplessly, in addition to crash testing, as a consumer, even the media, there is almost no way to confirm which material is more realistic between sister models.

These cars

Progress is evident

Many of the models mentioned in the table for safe crotch pulling have now been replaced or even discontinued. There are several models with high attention, in fact, if you take a closer look, you have already been reborn.

BMW 3 Series

In the table, the BMW 3 Series is still very eye-catching, after all, the reputation and sales of the 3 Series are very good, but the safety is pulled. But in fact, it was the previous generation 3 series that knocked out A, when it was mainly worse than the 25% bias collision.

The A-pillar is relatively stiff, but the intrusion into the crew compartment is too obvious, that is, squeezing the driver's living space.

However, the current new 3 Series upgrade is obvious, and in all the segments of occupant protection in the car, it has received the highest rating G. The place where the crotch of the previous generation was the most prominent place for the performance of the new 3 series.

The progress of the new 3 Series must be praised, but the previous generation of car owners may be more depressed now, after all, the previous generation of models also have a large amount. This point seems to have no good way but to sympathize with the previous generation of car owners.

Volkswagen Passat

The Passat is the car that has been hurt the most by the Central Insurance Research Institute, because the poor performance of the 2019 model has made the Passat's reputation directly fall to the bottom, and sales have also been greatly affected.

Because the Passat collision results at that time were really shocking, the A pillar was directly broken, the airbag ran off, could not catch the dummy's face, and the cabin was seriously deformed, resulting in serious injuries to the dummy's head, legs, and feet.

2019 Passat

However, the 2020 Parsat can be regarded as a shame and courage, in the car occupant protection, outside the car protection, auxiliary driving, all got the G.

2020 Passat

As far as the product itself is concerned, the new Passat is indeed worthy of impressive attention, and for friends who plan to buy a car, they do not have to worry about the safety of the Passat. However, the owners of the 2019 Passat are still driving out every day with a seriously safe crotch-pulling model, and their losses seem to be difficult to compensate for.

Buick GL8

If you want to find two models that have been seriously impacted by the reputation of China Insurance Research Institute, one is the Passat, then the other may be the GL8. The 2017 GL8 fully pulled its crotch in the collision of ZhongbaoYan. The problem is similar to that of the Passat, the A-pillar is bent at 90 degrees, and the airbag cannot catch the face, seriously squeezing the driver's living space.

2017 GL8

So since the crash in 2018, GL8 has carried a label of "China's special supply, safe crotch". Just two days ago, in the latest batch of collision models announced by China Insurance Research Institute, there was a GL8 figure, this time it was GL8 ES Lu Zun.

Overall, the new model has improved significantly, but it is still not good. The occupant protection in the car as a whole only took an A, and in the subdivision project, 25% of the frontal bias collisions and side collisions were also A.

Compared with the 2017 model, although it has made great progress, but in the horizontal comparison, this achievement is still relatively crotch-pulling.

Of course, MPV does suffer in crash tests, because MPV generally has a short front end and a small collapse space. But that doesn't mean MPV doesn't have to hit well. Roewe's iMAX 8 got g in all segments of the occupants of the car.

Therefore, although the MPV model is not inherently dominant, as long as it is willing to optimize the body structure and use high-strength steel, it can still achieve good results.

What to think about crash testing

It's like an open-book exam

To tell the truth, crash test is still a new thing for Chinese consumers, although China Automobile Research Institute has been doing crash testing before, but because the standard is too loose, it is called "five-star wholesaler" by netizens, and everyone has not really taken this score seriously.

But this is not to say that Chinese consumers do not pay attention to safety, but the lack of reference standards, and then finally have a relatively strict Zhongbao Research Institute, so many people regard the Zhongbao Research Institute as a mirror for the conscience of car companies.

But I think it's completely inappropriate, or to be held to the highest standards, to be one-sided. After all, no matter how strict the crash test, it is also crashed out under several specified scenarios, specified angles, and specified speeds, and the actual road conditions are complex and changeable, and it is impossible to fully simulate.

So the crash test is more like an open-book exam, the open-book exam is done well, the closed-book exam is not necessarily really OK, but if the open-book is not done well, the real road conditions will only be more crotch-pulling.

Progress is commendable

But the old owner was hurt

In addition, some people criticize car companies for optimizing according to the collision rules as cheating, just like in the 25% collision of the frontal bias, many car companies will specifically strengthen the A column.

However, the use of crash tests to force car companies to strengthen safety is the meaning of crash tests. This "cheating" is commendable. However, crash tests also need to continue to evolve, for example, the IIHS in the United States has a 25% bias collision on the passenger side, and many models have turned over, because they have only specially enhanced the main driver side.

But I believe that with the bias collision of the co-driver, the future car companies will definitely be specially strengthened. This is an example of forcing car companies to improve safety.

However, like the Passat, 3 Series, GL8, etc., although the safety of new models has been improved, it is difficult to compensate for the rights and interests of old car owners. Therefore, I still hope that every car can do a good job of safety before leaving the factory, because the safety thing, unlike a part that is broken, can be solved by recalling once. Once out, the overall security is basically fixed.

Write at the end

Safety, when we talked, everyone was very concerned, after all, life is at stake. But when it comes to buying a car, safety is in the various elements of car selection, but the ranking is very low, or very low.

Price, brand, space, and even configuration can be more important than security. That's why there are a lot of cars, and although the safety is very poor, the sales are very good.

Finally, how do you see this phenomenon? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
