With the improvement of living standards, everyone has or intends to buy a car, regardless of the budget, what the requirements for the exterior interior, everyone's biggest concern is always the safety of the car. The China Insurance Auto Safety Index can conduct systematic and in-depth research on the safety risks of automobiles, and objectively evaluate the safety and economics of vehicles from scenarios such as "cars", "people" and "human-vehicle interaction", providing an important basis for our purchase.
At present, the latest phase of the Zhongbao Research Institute test results are released, Buick Encore S in which it has received a good evaluation, the model participating in the crash test is the 2020 652T Elite and 652T Luxury, and has obtained two excellent, one average and one poor result. The following figure can clearly show the achievements of Buick Encore S, its G means excellent, A means good, M means average, and P means poor.
First of all, looking at the safety index of people in the car, Buick Encore S has performed well in various sub-items. In the 25% bias crash test, Buick Encore S hit the obstacle at a speed of 64±1km/h and a 25% overlap rate, and after the collision, the front airbag and side air curtain can be deployed in time to effectively protect the driver and occupant's head safety, so it has obtained a G-grade (excellent) evaluation in the dimension of dummy injury.
At the same time, the body moved rapidly to the other side due to the impact, and we could clearly see that the body structure was complete, and the A-pillar did not bend. At the same time, the roof strength evaluation is excellent, and the slightly deficient is that the front coverage behind the side airbags is limited, so the restraint system and dummy sports sub-item have received an A-grade (good) evaluation. In summary, the performance of Buick Encore S in terms of passive safety is worthy of recognition.
Let's look at the safety index of pedestrians outside the car, because the scene of mixed traffic on the road in China is very common, and people are vulnerable to the use of cars on the road, it is necessary to test the index, mainly through the index of human calf, thigh and head injuries in the accident with data sensors to measure exponentially. Pedestrian protection performance is mainly affected by the shape, overall layout, body, etc., in this test Buick Encore S performed well, obtained a G grade (excellent), the total scoring rate of 66%.
Next, look at the crashworthiness and maintenance economics index of the vehicle, which received a P grade (poor). Structural crash resistance is the ability of the vehicle to withstand the crash force, as well as the control of physical displacement and deformation in the process of the vehicle absorbing the collision energy and absorbing the collision energy, and the ability to protect the structure and high-value parts from damage. Buick Encore S's performance in this dimension is average, with a total of 9 structural crash resistance defects. Maintenance economy alone is to test how expensive the Buick Encore S is to repair, after passing the test. Buick Encore S repairable defects total 11, maintenance economic defects of 58.33, which shows that Buick Encore S collision repair is not cheap. It is worth noting that in the low-speed collision, the airbag explosion of the Onwick S is relatively rare in the test of the China Insurance Research Institute.
Finally, looking at the Vehicle AssistEd Safety Index, Oncovey S received a general rating with a total score of 114 points, and it scored 59.85 points, with a scoring rate of 52.5%.
From the video released by The China Insurance Research Institute, we can clearly see that when the rider was braking urgently, the Oncovey S had an accident that knocked the rider down, so the deduction was more.
Overall, Buick Encore S's performance is commendable, but there is still room for improvement. Safety is the top priority of car design, through the Buick Encore S crash safety test results, we can clearly see the safety performance of the vehicle, so we can also use the Safety Index of the China Insurance Research Institute as a basis for purchase when purchasing a vehicle.
