A question: When buying a car, what are the most important indicators for you? Are there three big pieces? Is it driving experience? Or the exterior interior of the car? As the old saying goes, "there are thousands of roads, safety is the first", Xiaobian personally feels that safety is the most important reference index for a car. No, recently the new car safety evaluation list is out again, let's take a look at the results.
The list to be introduced today comes from the "Beijing Zhongbao Research Institute of Automotive Technology" initiated by the Free China Insurance Industry Association and jointly funded by a number of property insurance companies, and the vehicles independently selected by the China Insurance Auto Safety Index Center are evaluated, and the models participating in the selection are Buick Encore S, Toyota C-HR, Citroën Tianyi C5, Tank 300, Nissan X-Trail, Buick GL8, Tesla Model Y. (in no particular order)
First, let's take a look at the poor student who came to the bottom of this test - Buick GL8. The Buick GL8 is the only MPV model in this test, and its performance is also "outstanding", winning the penultimate first place. In fact, as early as 2018, Zhongbao Research Institute tested the safety of the Buick GL8, when the performance of the car was unbearable, and in the project test of "driver's side front 25% bias collision", its A-pillar bending angle reached almost 90 degrees.
Four years later, the new model after the redesign "stood up" in the place where it once fell, and in the "driver's side frontal 25% bias collision", the Buick GL8 achieved A (good) results. But this improvement is obviously not enough, 5 of the 7 models participating in the competition are rated G (excellent), and the models rated A (good) belong to Buick, which are Buick Encore and Buick GL8. No wonder some netizens joked that Buick "has been bumping has not been able to do it", so many years have passed or less than the industry average, is it worth its high sales?
Citroën C5 AIRCROSS ranks second from the bottom, which can make the once "high legal configuration" argument unstable. Citroën C5 AIRCROSS only received G (excellent) in terms of indicators of pedestrian safety, the rest of the performance was not satisfactory, the indicators of crash resistance and maintenance economy received M (general), and the indicators of occupant safety in the car received an A (good).
Some cars are not satisfactory, some cars are unexpected, in this evaluation, the performance of the two Japanese cars is good, breaking people's prejudice that japanese cars are "thin" without collision. In addition to the Toyota C-HR in terms of crash resistance and maintenance economy index, the rest are G (excellent), and the first tank 300 on the list score is basically the same; Nissan three-cylinder X-Trail in the collision resistance and maintenance economy index has achieved M (general) evaluation, the rest are also G (excellent).
The most surprising thing is that the tank 300 that occupies the top of the list, as a hardcore off-road vehicle, the tank 300 does not have an advantage in this safety test. Previously, the Wrangler, who was also an off-road vehicle, directly overturned the car in the 25% small overlapping surface crash test of the North American IIHS, but unexpectedly, the tank 300 not only performed well in the safety of occupants in the car, the safety of pedestrians outside the car, and the safety of vehicle assistance and maintenance economy, worthy of being called "a generation of god cars".
Write at the end
There is no doubt that after the results of the crash test of the China Insurance Research Institute were released, the tank 300 became the final big winner, defeating many opponents such as the United States, Japan and France with excellent results. In fact, from the perspective of the booming sales of the tank 300, this is also entirely because of its own strong product strength, and the outstanding safety performance of the vehicle, it is no wonder that the Chinese people will be so sought after by it, everyone says yes?
