Everything recovers and spring blossoms. With the coming of the May Day holiday, I believe that many friends have already made travel plans. Unfortunately, due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, the long-distance travel plan can only be shelved for the time being, but it is also a beautiful thing to have about three or five friends or the whole family to go out for a leisure suburban spring road trip.
For the first criterion of self-driving travel, I believe that friends will speak in unison, that is, safety first. Of course, in order to travel safely, in addition to our own control, the assistance of a "safe car" is also crucial.
In this regard, Dolibilijun selected two joint venture medium-sized cars with a high rate of appearance and high representation on the market, and conducted a comprehensive comparison of safety attributes, they are Kia K5 and Toyota Camry, let's go directly to the theme and see which model is worthy of our trust "safety car"!
PK link one: whose price is more affordable to the people
Of course, for the sake of fairness, Dolijutsu has selected two versions with similar prices, namely the Kia K5 380T GT-Line flagship (hereinafter referred to as kia K5) and the Toyota Camry 2.5Q flagship version (hereinafter referred to as the Camry). First of all, from the comparison price data table, it seems that both versions are flagship models currently on sale, but in terms of price, camry is nearly 30,000 yuan higher.
The price of the people is just the icing on the cake, and the comprehensive safety performance is the focus of our attention, so whether kia K5 can still open up twice in terms of safety while occupying the price advantage, let's continue to look down.
PK Link 2: Passive safety is the key
Driving on the road, small scratches are inevitable, but when really encountering unavoidable accidents, passive safety will become the last line of defense to protect the safety of personnel in the car, so in Dolijun's view, the passive safety of a car is the bottom line, and there is no room for error.
It's no secret that a well-designed body frame can absorb a lot of crash energy, and the Kia K5 is clearly well versed in this. Thanks to the empowerment of the third-generation i-GMP platform that integrates Kia's latest modular technology, Kia K5 adopts ultra-high tension steel and hot stamping process to achieve ultra-high strength steel structure, which increases the average strength of the body by more than 10%. In addition, the engine compartment design of the multi-skeleton structure can effectively disperse the impact force, and in the event of an impact on the body, kia K5 can not only minimize the impact on passengers, but also reduce the impact on the other vehicle and ensure the safety of passengers on both sides.
"The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the sincerity". The parameters are crazy, it is better to talk about the actual measurement results. As we all know, the IiHS, the American Highway Safety Insurance Association, as a world-renowned authoritative automobile agency, the safety assessment report issued by it contains self-evident gold. Kia K5 not only won the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ (Top Safety Choice) of the American Highway Safety Insurance Association in 2022, but also achieved two consecutive years of success, such an excellent evaluation result is undoubtedly the most perfect interpretation of Kia K5's safety quality.
It is worth mentioning that the models that appear in the TOP SAFETY PICK+ list released by IIHS, as well as the Camry that participated in the comparison, can achieve such an honor, of course, it is inseparable from excellent crash test results. However, after in-depth understanding of Dolijing, it was found that Camry achieved A in the test of "passenger restraint and dummy movement" in the frontal small overlap crash test (passenger side), which was slightly inferior to kia K5 in the front small overlap test of all G, so in terms of passive safety, Doriave was more inclined to Kia K5.
PK link three: who is more actively safe
With the advent of the tide of intelligence, intelligent driving assistance system has become a new era of car driving compulsory courses, perfect driving assistance can not only help drivers in most of the car use scenarios to reduce the driving burden, but also play a driving warning and avoid the role of danger, from the seedlings to stifle risks, to a greater extent to protect the safety of people in the car.
As our main driving scenario, the complexity of the urban road section is obvious, and the morning and evening rush hours can be imagined, so the data processing and radar performance of the whole vehicle are a huge test. Through the comparison table, it is not difficult to see that although Kia K5 and Camry are equipped with front anti-collision assistance, compared with Kia K5, they have more monitoring of bicycles and intersections, which can better avoid risks and prevent traffic accidents. In addition, the blind zone collision assistance, rear cross collision assistance, side rear image, front vehicle departure prompt, parallel line assistance, safe dismounting and other auxiliary configurations, Kia K5 is also readily available. This perfect auxiliary configuration effectively minimizes the blind spot of the vehicle's field of vision. So, I said that the sub-K5 opened up the "God perspective" for the driver, not too much.
In the city driving scenario, we also have parking problems. Therefore, for many novice drivers, 360-degree panoramic images are like "goldfinger". In this situation, Kia K5 is not only equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, but also intimately equipped with a side blind spot image and a reversing side warning system, I believe that from the beginning of having Kia K5, Xiao Bai became an old driver.
Next, let's talk about the highway. From the comparison table, we can see that the commonly used adaptive cruise, lane shift warning, lane keeping assistance and other auxiliary systems are reflected in Kia K5 and Camry. At first glance, the camry's full-speed adaptive cruise seems to be more convincing, but when we delve into the car, we found that the cruise system carried by the Kia K5 supports navigation-based intelligent cruise control, which can be opened with one click when driving, and after opening, it is based on Baidu Map to identify the speed limit range and speed limit information, automatically reduce the original speed after deceleration, automatically confirm the curvature of the road and slow down at the best speed when cornering, which is very rare.
It is worth mentioning that most of the high-speed road conditions because of the wide lanes, few vehicles and other reasons, it is easy to make the drivers who drive for a long time feel tired, and the Kia K5 is equipped with a fatigue driving prompt function, although this is not a rare configuration, but let the owner feel a more "temperature" driving experience, and this is not the era of car intelligence, what we are pursuing?
Dolijun language:
Through the comparison between the Kia K5 and the Toyota Camry, I believe that friends already know how to make a choice. Although our comparison this time focuses more on safety attributes, friends familiar with Kia K5 must know that it is also ingenious in design, at the forefront of the mainstream market, and can well meet the needs of young consumers to "see the face".
Kia as the main representative of the domestic market Korean car, its technical strength and strong product strength, in the entire industry are well-known, so when your budget is about 200,000, just want to choose a safe enough "treasure B class car", Kia K5 will definitely give you a satisfactory experience.
