Recently, the latest issue of the China Insurance Research Institute crash test results list updated again, after this update, the cumulative number of models on the list reached 85, as of now, the independent brand has 29 models on the list, while the joint venture brand has 56 models on the list, most of which are regular customers on the sales list. The 7 models of this update are Buick Encore S, Buick GL8 ES Luzun, Tank 300, Toyota C-HR, Nissan New Generation X-Trail, Tesla Model Y, Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS, so far in the list of six tests all received G-class praise of the model has reached 36 models. Without further ado, let's take a look at the results of the several models of the update.
First of all, to give you the general meaning of the following figure, the collision results are mainly scored from four aspects: collision resistance and maintenance economy, occupant safety, pedestrian safety outside the car, and vehicle auxiliary safety, G stands for excellent; A stands for good; M stands for general; P stands for poor. However, it should be noted that the last item only represents high-end models, not all models.
Tank 300
Tank 300 can be said to be the big winner in this test, in addition to the G-level evaluation of many projects, even the collision resistance and maintenance economy index is also an A-level evaluation, which is an all-round player. In addition, it has also become the highest score model that has participated in the crash test of the China Insurance Research Institute so far, the first place was mercedes-Benz GLC260L, and now the tank 300 directly climbed to the top, the original tank 300 is difficult to find, after this achievement comes out, it is estimated that the popularity will increase, the old Tan 666 ah.
Old driver spicy comments: the best of the whole staff, directly sealed the gods, tank owners can start to brag.
Domestic Tesla Model Y
The Model Y participating in this test is an entry-level model, which has obtained G-level evaluations in several tests such as 25% bias collision, side impact, roof strength, and seat/headrest on the driver's side, and also achieved A-level evaluation in the vehicle auxiliary safety index, and achieved a score of 99.50 points (out of 114 points), and the overall performance is still good. However, we noticed that it is the lowest P-rating on the vehicle crash resistance and maintenance economic index, which means that its maintenance price is very high, which is also the same as many car owners on the Internet. After all, Tesla's use of integrated die-casting technology has saved time and cost, but it is really not cheap to repair.
Old driver hot comment: typical crash resistance is not resistant to repair type, and today there is a Tesla internal email revealed that next year will begin to levy new energy purchase tax, will this stimulate this year's new energy car market?
A new generation of X-Trail
Although the new generation of X-Trail's three-cylinder is controversial and current sales are poor, the vehicle has achieved good results in this crash test. In the three major items of occupants, pedestrians outside the car, and auxiliary safety, they have all received G-level evaluations, and the small projects in each of them have also obtained excellent results.
Old driver spicy comment: Although the new generation of Qijun has no obvious shortcomings in terms of safety, in the choice of power system, the three-cylinder engine is an obvious shortcoming in China.
Toyota C-HR
Previously, its sister model Yize has passed the test with a G-class evaluation, and this time the C-HR has also played a stable role and has also achieved excellent evaluations in all aspects, which is also expected, after all, the products built based on the TNGA architecture have been improved and guaranteed in terms of safety. In the serviceability of this item, it has obtained an A-class evaluation, and the low maintenance cost is also a consistent feature of Japanese cars, after all, Toyota's car-making concept is to pursue the maximization of user interests, and the resistance zao is its characteristic, so the overall performance of C-HR in this test is relatively good.
Old driver spicy comment: no accident.
Citroën C5 AIRCROSS
Dongfeng Citroen Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS is the only French car in this test, counting up this car has not been upgraded for 5 years, it does not sell well and does not care much, just passed, the overall performance is decent. In the structural impact resistance to get the A rating, the maintainability and maintenance economy have only received a general score, the comprehensive rating is also general, which means that if the number of French cars is less and less, the maintenance cost will be higher and higher, who will buy it? It is worth noting that it is the only SUV model that has lost points in the protection of occupants in the car, and it has received poor reviews in terms of crash compatibility.
Old driver hot comment: can only say that barely passed, this result may even be the small minute love of the car friends have been dissuaded.
Oncovi S/GL8 ES Lu Zun
Finally, there are the two brothers of the Buick family, Encore S and GL8 ES Lu Zun, these two cars are considered to be quite large in China, especially gl8, which has become the first choice for commercial cars. The collision score of Oncovey S is quite reasonable, and the indices of car members and laymen are G-rated, and the collision economy is poor. It is worth mentioning that the auxiliary safety of Encore is the worst performance except for the Citroën Tianyi C5 (no assisted driving).
Looking at GL8 ES Luzun again, as one of the top MPV models in the Chinese market, its performance is quite disappointing, which is also the only model in this test that has double A in and outside the car, and has not reached G. In fact, netizens have long had such a voice, saying that the upgrade of GL8 for many years is only to change the soup without changing the medicine, and the most important indicator of vehicle safety has not been upgraded. A few years ago, an old GL8 crash test was also a bad result, and it also had a lot of impact on sales and word of mouth. Unexpectedly, on the new GL8 three years later, the security problem has not been completely solved.
Old driver hot comment: I hope that GL8 can hit the high point next time, otherwise the status of the MPV industry is not good.
