Most Chinese people are more contradictory when evaluating the quality problems of Japanese cars, and some people think that the safety factor of Japanese cars is quite high, at least Honda Toyota's models have achieved good results in the crash test of China Insurance Research Institute. Some people think that the quality of Japanese cars is particularly poor, because Japanese cars show particularly poor results in car accidents.
Japanese cars combine two extremes, crash tests have not been lost, and they have not won in actual combat, what is the quality of Japanese cars? There are two extreme views on the quality and safety of Japanese cars, mainly because the criteria for judging are different.
Ordinary consumers judge that a car is not safe, mainly depending on whether the car is resistant to collisions. There are often some negative news related to Japanese cars on the Internet, Toyota Corolla hit the bicycle, the bicycle is not seriously damaged, toyota Corolla's front face is all damaged, the bumper is dented, and it looks particularly humiliating.
Car companies judge whether a car is safe, mainly depending on whether the car absorbs energy. Most Japanese cars have achieved good results in the crash test of The China Insurance Research Institute, and even if the frame of the car is damaged, the dummy in the car will not be injured. Some Japanese brands will strengthen the crash test site, so the results will not be too ugly.
The japanese car company's car manufacturing concept is based on energy saving, emission reduction and lightweight. Lightweighting of cars can bring many benefits, such as reduced impact force in the event of a collision, shorter braking distances and lower fuel consumption. However, in actual car accidents, lightweight Japanese cars are often damaged more severely, and Toyota, which was damaged by a bicycle, is the best example.
Is it safe for Japanese cars? Different brands have different qualities. Toyota and Honda are basically above the passing line, and Nissan is slightly worse. The use of ultra-strong steel plates in the 2021 X-Trail is 37.7%, and the proportion of BYD Tang dm high-strength steel has reached 85%, which can be seen from this data that BYD is more impact-resistant than Nissan.
Honda has a car with poor crash test results, it is Honda Haoying. The problem is that the proportion of thermoformed steel on most cars is very small, the upper and lower beams of Honda Haoying are made of C-grade steel plates, and the domestic CAR BYD Tang has all been replaced by S-grade steel plates with tensile strength greater than 1400.
In order to achieve good results in the crash test of The China Insurance Research Institute, Toyota will strengthen the collision site specifically. The vehicle's A and B pillars use stronger steel plates to provide more protection during crash testing. Where the crash test cannot detect, the use area of ultra-strong steel plates is obviously insufficient.
Overall, the quality of Japanese cars can only be judged by passing, and the online argument that Japanese cars can't hit bicycles is too exaggerated, but Japanese cars can never be judged by safety. Consumers should not only consider safety when buying a car, the driving experience of the car, the functional configuration, and the cost of car maintenance are all important benchmarks.
Editor's Comments:
The quality of the car is related to the safety of the owner's life, and in 2019, Volkswagen's Passat and Tiguan ranked at the bottom of the crash test, and the Chinese people were in an uproar. Since then, Volkswagen has increased the weight of the car, and the new model has increased the weight of dozens of kilograms compared with the previous generation.
The safety factor of different models under the same brand is also different, the cheap Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen POLO, certainly not Toyota Prado, Volkswagen Phaeton quality is better, what do you think?
