"Mercedes-Benz" smashed a hole for Chery with one punch! Is it the quality is not good or is it a hidden mystery?

Recently, a dispute between a Mercedes-Benz owner and Chery Tiggo 8 has caused a stir on the Internet. The incident was caused by a Mercedes owner punching a hole in the hood of a Chery car, raising questions about the quality of the car. Although the relevant authorities have settled the dispute between the two parties, people's doubts about the quality of Chery cars have not subsided. So, is this incident a product quality problem, or is there a hidden mystery in it?

First of all, we need to understand the fact that modern vehicle design is no longer about extremely hard materials, but about the soft coverings. This is to better protect pedestrians in the event of a collision and reduce injuries to pedestrians. Therefore, the Mercedes-Benz owner smashed the hood of the Chery Tiggo 8 into a hole with one punch, which does not directly indicate that the quality of Chery cars is not good.

In fact, the concept of "collapse energy absorption" in vehicle design was born to solve this problem. In short, the hard place should be hard, and the soft place should be soft. In the event of a collision, the hood, bumper and other parts of the vehicle need to be flexible enough to absorb the impact and reduce injuries to passengers and pedestrians in the vehicle. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Mercedes-Benz owners to smash the big hole in the hood of Chery Tiggo 8 with one punch. A similar situation has occurred to BMW before.

Chery officials also explained that the hardness of the hood meets safety standards, mainly to protect passengers and pedestrians in the car, and does not affect the safety of the whole vehicle. Chery further explained that the vehicle was designed with pedestrian safety in mind. Under the hood, energy-absorbing foam and springs are installed to absorb the impact and reduce damage to pedestrians in the event of a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian.

Of course, no car can guarantee that all its components will be perfect. However, for this specific incident, we cannot simply blame it on product quality issues. We should understand vehicle design and safety concepts from a more professional perspective, rather than judging the quality of a car based on personal intuition and bias.

As a best-selling model, the Tiggo 8 has achieved good sales results in 2023. This shows the recognition and trust of consumers for Chery Automobile. This also proves Chery Automobile's efforts in terms of quality, technological innovation and reputation.
