The spring breeze is blowing on the face of all things, and it is the right time to travel by car. For large families with a family, it is especially necessary to buy a medium and large SUV. In the face of a large number of family SUV brands, family users are often dazzled. In fact, no matter what type of car you buy, you only need to follow the principle of "safety is the greatest luxury", and you will quickly find your "car". Taking Xingtu Lanyue and C Qi GS8 as examples, after learning more about the body safety of the two, as well as the active and passive safety configurations such as intelligent assisted driving and airbags, I believe that family users will know how to choose a family SUV.
Safety is a step further, and the whole family is more assured
Body safety is the focus and direction of automobile brands, and how to achieve the effect depends on their respective safety strength.
Backed by the M3X Mars architecture 2.0 technology platform, Xingtu Lanyue is committed to providing users with full personnel, all working conditions, the whole process, and all-round protection and guarantee, using an integrated cage energy-absorbing capsule design, the proportion of high-strength steel covering the whole vehicle reaches 85%, covering the entire passenger compartment, and the door anti-collision beam and B-pillar are made of ultra-high-strength steel reinforced plate hot stamping technology (UHSSP), and the tensile strength can reach 1500Mpa. At the same time, through the development of anti-corrosion materials and the application of advanced gluing technology, the body has created a "King Kong" body, which has performed well in various test challenges. The whole car has undergone more than 1,000 simulations and more than 100 vehicle crash tests by a professional team, and has inherent advantages such as durability, reliability and high torsion resistance. In September 2023, in the rolling test of a steep slope with a vertical height of 25 meters and a steep slope of more than 45 degrees, after 8 laps of rolling collision, the A-pillar, B-pillar and C-pillar were not deformed, and the overall structure was complete. Recently, the steel beam of the B-pillar of the Xingtu Lanyue was tested in the continuous firing test of the CZ-512 rifle and Baikal double-barreled shotgun, leaving only bullet marks and dents, showing hard-core safety strength.
The GS8 adopts the "five rings" cage-shaped protection frame of the passenger compartment design, the use of high-strength steel accounts for 62.7%, the strength of ultra-high strength hot-stamping steel reaches 1500Mpa, through the front door retaining ring, rear door retaining ring, A-pillar retaining ring, B-pillar retaining ring, C-pillar retaining ring, windshield retaining ring, upper cover retaining ring and other structures, and the use of the anti-extrusion characteristics of the shape to disperse the energy of the side impact to the whole car. In August 2023, in the cqi GS8 c-qi heavy-duty truck cranking test, there was no fracture of the ABCD column, no large deformation, and no obvious extrusion deformation of the cockpit.
In contrast, whether it is from the proportion of high-strength steel used in the body, or the type and quantity of actual combat tests of the body collision, it is obvious that the body safety of Xingtu Lanyue is better than that of the CS8, which is more worthy of the trust of users and can provide users with a sense of safety for self-driving travel. Moreover, Xingtu Lanyue not only refreshed the C-NCAP standard of the China Automotive Research Institute in the crash test, but also surpassed the 25% offset collision test standard of the previous China Insurance Research Institute.
A little more protection, a little more security for the whole family
With the continuous evolution and development of the automotive industry in the direction of intelligence, the intelligent attributes of active and passive safety of vehicles are becoming more and more obvious, and the safety protection for users is also more comprehensive.
After the OTA upgrade this year, the NOC automatic navigation assistance function (hereinafter referred to as "NOC") has been put on the car, which will improve the intelligent driving of fuel vehicles to a new level and better protect the driving safety of users. When the whole family travels by car, the NOC function can automatically switch lanes on highways and urban elevated sections within the coverage of high-precision maps according to the path planned by the navigation, automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle according to the road speed limit and the perception of the surrounding environment of the car, intelligently change lanes and autonomously overtake slow cars, effectively reducing driving fatigue and improving the safety of the whole family through intelligent methods. In addition, Xingtu Lanyue's active and passive safety protections such as lane departure warning, fatigue driving reminder, front and rear collision warning, seat belt unfastened reminder, and airbag configuration are all excellent. In the 2023 rolling test, the Xingtu Lanyue pre-tensioned seat belt played a role in the first time, quickly tightened, and the 10 airbags of the whole car instantly exploded, and the air curtain was deployed in time, playing a key cushioning role.
It is worth noting that although the GS8 is also equipped with L2 level assisted driving system as standard, compared with Xingtu Lanyue, the intelligent driving assistance functions and configurations are not enough. For example, the GS8 has fewer safety assistance functions such as blind spot image assistance, automatic parking, and automatic navigation compared to Xingtu Lanyue. Not only that, the GS8 also lags behind Xingtu Lanyue in the traditional passive safety configuration. The same airbag configuration, Xingtu Lanyue takes into account the needs of more occupants and increases the front middle airbag, while the cqi GS8 lacks this part of safety protection.
As a medium and large family SUV, the more active and passive safety configurations, the more comprehensive, and more passengers, can make family self-driving trips more secure and smoother. Obviously, Xingtu Lanyue performs well in the comparison of various safety configurations, beating the GS8, providing users with more protection, making the whole family car safer, and it is the "safe home" that family users really need.
In a series of comparisons, the "volume king" attribute of Xingtu Lanyue is becoming more and more obvious, and it has reached the leading level in terms of body safety, intelligent assisted driving, airbags, etc., and its safety strength is obvious to all. Now, back to the topic of "how to choose a family SUV?", I believe you already have the answer in your heart.
