At any time, the safety performance of a car is an important indicator of the quality of a car, and it is also an important reason why consumers choose this car. In the domestic automotive market, when it comes to automotive safety testing, the most impartial one is China Insurance Research Institute Automotive Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Insurance Research Institute").
Just recently, the China Insurance Auto Safety Index (C-IASI) released the results of the evaluation based on the latest version of the China Insurance Auto Safety Index regulations. Among them, the new generation of X-Trail has achieved impressive results by virtue of its hard-core strength, and has won the highest "G" excellent evaluation in 6 tests such as frontal 25% bias collision, side impact, roof strength, seat/headrest, vehicle auxiliary safety, and pedestrian safety, and safety strength can be described as the same level.
To this point, I believe that many friends will wonder, what hardcore technical advantages does the new generation of X-Trail rely on to achieve 6 full excellent evaluations? Let's take a look.
First, comprehensive passive safety protection, highlighting hard-core technology
In the latest batch of model test results released by the China Insurance Research Institute, the reason why the new generation of X-Trail can get 6 full excellent evaluations is mainly related to its strong enough in "hard-core technology". As for which hardcore technologies are there? In fact, it is mainly due to the new generation of X-Trail using Nissan's latest CMF-CD platform.
As the latest modular platform jointly developed by Nissan and Renault, the derivation of the CMF platform is very diverse. In simple terms, the CMF platform is not limited by the form of drive, and can theoretically implement front-facing, front-rear-drive, and rear-mounted rear-drive. In addition, due to the unique module design of the CMF platform, the scalability of the new model is particularly excellent, and it can play a leading role in the fields of VC-Turbo and e-POWER. The new generation of X-Trail, which uses this platform, has greatly improved in terms of body structure, suspension arrangement, and body materials.
Through the crash test results of Zhongbao Research Institute, we found that in the frame structure, the new generation of X-Trail has adjusted the longitudinal beam layout of the body, from the original near-vertical shape close to the inside of the body to a curved shape closer to the outside of the body. The advantage of this is that the longitudinal beam of the vehicle can be more involved in energy absorption in the event of a collision to protect the integrity of the cockpit structure. Second, due to the more external relationship of the longitudinal beam frame, the cage body structure of the new generation of QiJun is larger, which further enhances the torsion resistance of the body.
In addition, in the roof strength test conducted by China Insurance Research Institute, the deformation of the new generation of Qijun under 4.9 times its own weight is only 1.27cm, and the side air curtain is deployed in time when the vehicle rolls over, ensuring the integrity of the body structure and retaining enough safety space for the occupants of the car.
This is not the end, the front and subframes of the new generation of X-Trail have adopted a full-frame structure, increasing the front-end torsional rigidity, 6-point high rigidity connection, compared with the previous generation model 4-point flexible connection, horizontal rigidity increased by 33%, making the suspension and body connection strength greatly improved. In addition, the position of the subframe near the front anti-collision beam has also been deliberately widened, which is also a major factor in the excellent passive safety level of the new generation of X-Trail.
With the hardcore structural characteristics, the new generation of X-Trail did not "drop the chain" at all when conducting the most difficult frontal 25-bias crash test. Judging from the collision video released by the China Institute of Insurance Research, the new generation of X-Trail has not undergone significant bending and deformation in the face of huge impact forces, A-pillars and cockpits, etc. In terms of body structure and dummy head/neck/chest/thigh/hip/calf/foot and other important parts of the human body, airbag coverage, etc., the new generation of X-Jun has also received the highest "G" excellent evaluation.
In terms of body materials, the new generation of X-Trail uses ultra-high-strength steel in key structural parts such as A-pillars, B-pillars, stringer beams, and sill beams. Ultra-high-strength steel with more than 780mpa in the vehicle accounted for 38.7%, and 1500mpa of thermoformed steel was also used in key parts such as roof beams and firewalls. On the body covering, the front fender, front and rear doors, and front cover of the new generation of X-Trail are made of rare aluminum alloy materials of the same level, which can effectively reduce weight by 35% compared to the use of steel plate materials, bringing better safety at the same time, better handling, and aluminum alloy materials also have stronger rust resistance, and occasionally wading is not afraid.
In addition, the new generation of X-Trail has received "G" praise in side impact, seat/headrest tests, and pedestrian protection tests. It is also because in the test, the new generation of Qijun provides cushioning energy absorption for the occupants through the side airbags and oversized side air curtains, and the ultra-high and strong steel used in the vehicle can effectively control the body shape variables, so it ensures that the crew compartment can have sufficient living space. At the same time, the seats and headrests provide good head and neck support in the event of a vehicle collision, all of which stems from Nissan's comprehensive consideration of the safety of the new generation of X-Trail.
Of course, even if the passive safety protection is comprehensive, we also hope that car owners will not use it for a lifetime, but if the vehicle really collides, the good passive safety performance is definitely the last barrier before the accident. The new generation of X-Trail, based on Nissan's latest CMF-CD platform, has been comprehensively upgraded in terms of design, materials, and processes, so aren't you excited about such a model with hardcore passive safety performance?
Second, the excellent active security system makes it easy for the whole family to travel
Driving out the door, safety is always the first priority. Especially when there is a family in the car, as a driver, we must make it easy for the whole family to travel. However, even if the old driver with skilled driving skills, after driving for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be fatigue and distraction, so at this time, the NISSN i-SAFETY intelligent active safety system equipped by the new generation of X-Trail is very intimate.
It should be known that the NISSAN i-SAFETY intelligent active safety system built by Nissan has more than ten safety auxiliary configurations such as IFCW over-the-horizon collision warning, EAPM throttle mistracking correction, AVM panoramic intelligent monitoring, MOD moving object/pedestrian warning, CTA reversing side warning system, IEB pre-collision intelligent brake, BSW lane change blind zone warning, ICC intelligent adaptive cruise and so on.
Take the IFCW over-the-horizon collision warning function, which can monitor the position relationship between the first two vehicles in the same lane, once the first two vehicles are too close to the collision risk, the system will remind the driver to brake through the beep, and if necessary, it will also cooperate with the active braking function to brake itself. Therefore, this undoubtedly greatly improves safety for distracted drivers.
In addition, in the process of our daily driving, we will definitely encounter driving at night or in rain and snow, and then we will find that neither the inner rearview mirror nor the outer rearview mirror can actually reflect the road conditions very well, which increases the risk of driving. Fortunately, the new generation of X-Trail equipped with the BSW lane change blind zone warning function is equipped with a very large number of sensors, and when our rear blind spot comes to the car, the vehicle can warn in advance to reduce the risk of driver lane change.
In summary, with the blessing of these active safety configurations, the new generation of Qijun can be described as full of confidence in taking care of the family's easy travel. For drivers, a car with a higher active safety configuration can also make driving safer, so who doesn't love such a new generation of X-Trail models?
Third, the enhanced version of ProPILOT super intelligent driving function, so that the journey is full of joy
It is not enough to have a comprehensive protection of active and passive safety, in order to make the journey of drivers and passengers happy, the new generation of X-Trail also comes with an enhanced version of ProPILOT super intelligent driving function. Thanks to this system, the new generation of X-Trail performs better in its driving assistance functions during driving, and the accuracy of recognition during actual follow-up will be higher, thus improving safety.
Actual driving, when we drive on the main roads of the city every day, congestion is often the norm in travel, and then the super intelligent connection system will help the owner to automatically follow the car, when the front vehicle brakes and decelerates, the new generation of Qijun will also make corresponding actions, do not need the owner to frequently pedal and accelerate and decelerate, which makes driving a lot simpler.
When driving at high speeds, the new generation of X-Trail can automatically drive in the middle of the lane and always maintain a stable speed, which can also reduce driving fatigue for long-distance driving that requires long pedaling.
In short, the new generation of X-Trail's enhanced ProPILOT super intelligent driving function can make the journey of all the people in the car show happiness. For those who take care of their homes, such a new generation of QiJun is obviously quite intelligent.
Written in the end: With a series of hard-core technical advantages, the new generation of Qijun has won the highest "G" excellent evaluation in all 6 tests of China Insurance Research Institute, which shows its excellent quality and strong product strength. For us consumers, driving safety is never a trivial matter, and the new generation of X-Trail can be said to be armed with intelligent security to the teeth, so in the face of such a high-quality urban SUV that has a face and material is safe, what reason do we have to miss Ta?
