According to media reports, on March 28, a man in Guangxi Province had an accident driving in Bazu Township, Donglan County, Hechi City, and even a man with a car fell into a cliff with a slope of 200 meters. In the case of communication loss, he filled his stomach by drinking rainwater and picking up wild fruits, and was found by the villagers after 5 days, and finally survived and rescued.
From the photos of the accident scene, it can be seen that although the vehicle has suffered serious impact deformation in many places, the core crew compartment has not been deformed too much, and it is precisely because of the protection of the vehicle that the injuries of the parties are not serious.
After the incident, many netizens not only lamented the luck of the parties, but also had a strong interest in the "car strong" that could be called the most stringent rolling crash test in history in this accident. Many netizens also recognized from the photos of the accident scene, which is a Changan CS35PLUS.
Data show that in domestic passenger car rollover accidents, the injury rate is 55.6%, and the mortality rate is as high as 10.9%, which is higher than other collision forms. As a small SUV with a main sales price of less than 100,000 yuan, the excellent safety performance of Changan CS35PLUS in this accident can be described as far beyond everyone's imagination, and it has also reversed the stereotype of many people that independent brand cars only focus on cost performance.
In fact, in the matter of safety, Changan Automobile has always walked in front of Chinese cars.
As early as 2014, the China Academy of Automotive Engineering conducted the first public test of automobile rollover in China in accordance with the latest safety standards in North America. At that time, Changan Yidong, as a test vehicle, did not deform the ABC column after rolling, the four doors could be easily opened, there was no oil leakage, successfully passed the test, and also set a benchmark for the safety standards of Chinese brand cars at that time.
In the SUV echelon, as the "big brother" of Changan CS35PLUS, the pin crown CS75PLUS in the Changan CS family, its achievements in safety are undoubtedly the safety genetic foundation inherited by the CS family.
C-NCAP five-star safety rating, six excellent crash tests of China Insurance Research Institute... These safety collision results, which are worthy of hype in the mouths of many brands, are nothing more than "regular examinations" in the eyes of Changan Automobile.
Meeting the national standard is obviously not the goal, and being able to pass the world's most stringent crash test represented by the "American standard" is Changan Automobile's requirement for itself.
In 2020, Changan CS75PLUS suffered a "serial collision" at the China Automobile Center.
The first is side impact, the most representative of this field is the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (FMVSS), which has a collision speed of 53.9 km/h for the moving deformation barrier used for collisions, which is higher than the continental standard of 50±1 km/h.
But in this test of CS75PLUS, the collision speed of the moving deformation barrier is as high as 61.9km/h, which is much higher than the American standard and the national standard.
After the first collision, the CS75PLUS immediately suffered a "second collision", with a speed of up to 80km/h rear-end crash test. This is also the highest impact speed in the current global rear-end collision regulations, far exceeding the speed standard of 35-38km/h specified in the "European Standard".
After such a harsh double collision, the CS75PLUS, whether it is the body B-pillar or the rear of the car that was hit, the amount of intrusion did not affect the living space of the occupants, it is worth mentioning that the rear suspension of the crashed vehicle did not have obvious deformation, the tires remained normal, and the vehicle could start slowly.
A year later, in 2021, Changan CS75PLUS once again broke through the safety "American Standard", this time it was a rollover test.
In October 2021, THEC Auto Center released the results of the first 55km/h super-American standard rolling test in the Changan CS75PLUS industry, which far exceeded the American standard speed of 48.3km/h. In this tumbling test, there are seven major evaluation items, and Changan CS75PLUS has achieved excellent results, marking the CS75PLUS once again passing the American Standard test and successfully winning the title of "the industry's first three American Standard certified Chinese brand SUVs".
Playing iron also needs to be hard. The core of Changan Automobile's courage to challenge the world's highest standards in the field of safety lies in its emphasis and investment in vehicle safety. This indicator, although invisible and untouchable, can improve the chances of survival of the occupants in the event of a serious accident.
For example, in this cliff accident, if the vehicle does not have a good energy-absorbing body structure design and a large number of ultra-high-strength steel, the proportion of high-strength steel, it is obviously difficult to maintain the living space of the crew cabin in the state of extreme continuous rolling and falling. In this real test of actual strength far exceeding laboratory standards, Changan Automobile handed over an excellent answer sheet.
Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, safety is becoming a major consideration for more and more consumers when buying a car. For a long time, Changan Automobile has insisted on starting from the needs of users, relying on the strong strength of the global R & D team, benchmarking international first-class automobile brands in terms of safety, creating the most reliable national household safety car, and ultimately winning the trust of consumers. According to the latest data released by the Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the past Three months, Changan Automobile's sales reached 120437 vehicles, achieving an increase of 17.2% year-on-year, once again winning the championship of Chinese automobile brands and leading China's automobile industry to continue to rise.
