In the past, it was said that domestic products should be self-reliant, and many people bought domestic products more out of patriotic feelings in their hearts, but I found that more and more people are now willing to choose domestic brands because of the significant improvement of product strength. In addition to the high cost performance, domestic brands are better than joint venture brands in terms of configuration, experience, use effect and even car purchase experience.
Of course, there is also a big reason that domestic brands are tearing off the negative labels on their bodies one by one, especially safety and durability. Identification safety is also very intuitive, no matter how much high-strength steel is used by the manufacturer, how many safety configurations, collision is the art of testing the truth, just pull out a collision, whether you are Qi Tian Dasheng or six-eared macaque monkeys are not hidden.
When it comes to crash testing, it is necessary to mention the name of C-IASI, relying on a 25% bias crash test to expose the original form of various "god cars", and even beat the China Automobile Research Institute (C-NCAP), known as the five-star wholesale department, to establish an authority in the domestic collision industry. Although it has "disappeared" for four months, from the perspective of the new optimized 2020 standard, The China Insurance Research Institute still represents the strictest collision standard in China.
Recently, The Institute of Insurance released the latest issue of the crash test list, a total of 7 models, including many Internet celebrity models, such as the domestic Shenche Tank 300, Tesla Model Y, Nissan New Qijun, etc., not only covering domestic, Japanese, American, but also involving fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles, and the final result is somewhat unexpected.
01
Domestic production is the safest
As the only domestic model in this period, the Tank 300 won the best model with its excellent results of basically full G. For an off-road vehicle, it is not easy. Girder off-road vehicles are prone to losses in terms of crash tests, one is self-weight, and the other is that the design of non-load-bearing body energy-absorbing structures is quite challenging.
Previously, it was also a hardcore off-road vehicle, and the JEEP Wrangler overturned in the North American IIHS 25% bias crash test, which means that the vehicle will undergo unpredictable displacement, and passengers are at risk of being thrown out of the vehicle, so this situation is extremely dangerous.
Tank 300 is similar to Volvo, using a "discard wheel protection" strategy, the vehicle at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour collided with the left side of the front, the entire round headlights shattered first, the engine compartment collapsed backwards, the left wheel finally fell off, through the ingenious structural design of the longitudinal collision force is laterally dispersed, so that the tank 300 bounces off obliquely in front of the collision after the collision, so as to avoid causing too much impact on the interior of the car.
Judging from the picture, the A-pillar structure of the vehicle remained intact after the collision, and there was no obvious deformation of the roof and the car sill. And the front airbag and the side air curtain are effectively unfolded and can catch the passenger's head position in the event of collision, to achieve the purpose of buffer protection, the driver's head and torso did not collide with the body structure.
In addition, in the roof strength test, the tank 300 refreshed the record of the roof load of the Sino-Insurance Research Institute with the peak load pressure of the 151877 cattle, which greatly exceeded the 122316 bull peak of the mercedes-Benz GLC L before, and the roof strength is mainly to ensure that when the car rolls over or even the vehicle rolls over, the roof is not easy to deform to ensure the living space of the passengers in the car.
02
Times have changed, and the Japanese system is really not "thin iron"
Along with the Tank 300, it is the Japanese player who is "thin iron" in the hearts of many people - Toyota C-HR. As a product of the TNGA architecture, the Toyota C-HR did not disappoint. Although it has been launched for some time, not only has it received a G rating in 25% bias collisions, but it has also been impeccable in terms of easy deduction of points restraint system and dummy sports, coupled with safety features such as 10 airbags as standard in the whole car, the safety of Toyota TNGA models has always been reassuring. In fact, long before its brother model Yize has been in the C-Security Research Institute test has been G-rated, so C-HR to achieve such results is also expected.
Another Japanese player who took part in the test this time is the new Qijun, who has been on the cusp of the storm since its listing. Since the replacement of the three-cylinder engine, the sales of the new Qijun have been in a slump, and the official even needs to revive the old Qijun to help sell.
Putting aside the three-cylinder problem, in fact, the safety performance of The New Qijun has not shrunk at all. First of all, like the main and co-pilot airbags, the first row of side airbags, side air curtains, etc. These are the standard equipment, and the occupant safety in the car, the safety of the pedestrians outside the car and the safety of vehicle assistance have all obtained "G" results. Because the vehicle tested by The China Insurance Research Institute is not equipped with AEB, there are some items in terms of active safety that cannot be tested, but this is the volume model that consumers prefer, which is actually more reference significance for consumers.
Speaking of the three-cylinder problem, for manufacturers, the cost is actually not low, but unlike the Great Wall, BYD and other domestic brands to lay out the new energy track early, limited by the increasingly stringent emission policy, in order not to need to buy a large number of points, the small displacement of cylinder reduction research and development is their helpless strategy, poor sales can only be said to be self-inflicted consequences.

There are joys and sorrows in the United States
The first is the popular hot chicken Tesla, the sales of its Model Y has been high, although occasionally broke the news of "brake failure", but with excellent intelligence and driving assistance, as the apple of the automotive industry, Tesla is still the world's best selling new energy brand.
Although the various active safety defects rumored on the Internet are not able to come up with exact evidence, but at least from the passive safety point of view, Tesla as an American car company, the new car research and development itself to consider the United States IIHS collision standards, so the high score through the China Insurance Research Institute crash test is not surprising, but we need to pay attention to a point, Model Y in the impact resistance and maintenance economic index, to obtain more general results.
Because of the increase in efficiency and high degree of automation, Model Y has a lot of parts highly integrated, plus the body part of the use of integrated die-casting process, for example, there was news before that a Model Y because the side rear hit the wall when reversing, the overall maintenance cost was as high as 200,000 yuan, because the rear of the car can only be replaced, which is also what everyone needs to know before purchasing.
In contrast, the Buick family's two cars are not so ideal, although the Oncovi S in 25% bias collision, side impact and structural safety are quite excellent, but the impact resistance and maintenance economic index performance is not good, if according to everyone's inertial thinking to judge, Oncover S belongs to the "thin iron" that hangs, in addition, whether it is in front of the Oncovey S or cross-road cyclists, have failed to stimulate the oncover S emergency braking system, directly knocked down, Therefore, the auxiliary safety system of Oncovi S only received M (general) evaluation.
The previous crash results of the old Buick GL8 have been criticized, but from this collision, the new 25% bias collision and the side collision test chart, the GL8's A-pillar has not undergone significant bends, and the strength of the B-pillar is better than that of the old model. As a result, the new GL8 received an A (good) in a 25% bias collision, the roof strength was increased from the previous A to G (excellent), and the overall evaluation of occupant safety in the car was upgraded from the previous score M (general) to A (good). Overall, the security performance has improved, but there is still room for improvement, after all, the domestic Roewe IMAX can also get the evaluation of G, which confirms that MPV is not unable to do G, but the manufacturer is willing or not.
Now the Internet has entered the 5G era, but when we buy a car, many so-called old drivers will still jump out and tell you about the concept of German and American materials, Japanese easy folding, and domestic crotch pulling, and are unwilling to believe in the progress of the times. For people with the ability to think independently, the results of the China Insurance Research Institute at least provide a powerful third-party institution for reference, at least compared to people, the data is less likely to lie. Of course, many people will still have a strong concept of Japanese "test design", everyone can have everyone's ideas, but as long as you are willing to start from the objective results, do not follow the crowd and do not speculate, you can also choose the most suitable car without car critics.
