Landu FREE and BMW X3, although one comes from the new power brand, the other is the traditional luxury camp, but both models are in the price range of 300,000, and both are mainly luxury high-end, as competitors are still convincing. And about the appearance of these two cars, interior and space, power part of the advantages and disadvantages, I believe that everyone can make a judgment, then today we will start from the invisible safety, help everyone compare, see who performs better.

The safety of a car is usually related to the material and safety configuration of the body structure. So let's start from these aspects, look at the actual performance of Landu FREE and BMW X3, how is it?
(BMW X3)
First of all, look at the body structure and materials, Lantu FREE and BMW X3 belong to the mainstream performance of 300,000 SUV, the vehicle material is mainly high-strength steel, supplemented by hot-formed steel, but the proportion of hot-formed steel above 1500MPa in Landu FREE is as high as 31%, which is higher than BMW X7, and it is estimated to be much higher than X3. At the same time, in key parts, such as A-pillar, B-pillar, anti-collision beam, etc., they have also been strengthened to ensure the collision resistance of the vehicle, like the strength of the A-pillar of Landu FREE can reach 1500MPa, and the use of TRP+Patch composite structure thermoforming process, the door anti-collision beam adopts the 2000MPa aluminum-silicon coating material applied for the first time in the global model, and the strength is further improved.
In terms of active safety configuration, the difference between the two cars is still not small, and the Lantu FREE configuration is obviously more abundant, such as parallel line assistance, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system, road traffic identification and night vision system are equipped, as well as independently developed co-driver overhead airbags, which are more comprehensive for passenger protection. The BMW X3's low- and medium-sized models need optional parallel assistance, and there is a lane departure warning and other configurations until the top, and the basic functions such as active braking and fatigue driving prompt functions are the configurations of both models.
Of course, whether the vehicle is specifically safe or not ultimately has to be measured by the crash test results. Landu FREE and BMW X3 have both undergone C-NCAP crash tests, so let's take a look at their test results.
First of all, let's take a look at the most critical occupant protection, Lantu FREE's scoring rate is 94.39%, BMW X3 is 94.94%, the difference is less than 0.6%, it can be said that the performance of the two is quite close, which has a lot to do with the more reasonable science of the two cars in terms of energy absorption collapse design. However, specifically looking at the subdivision projects, it is a mutual win-lose, complete frontal collision test, Lantu FREE pressure BMW X3 has a scoring rate of more than 1%, but in the frontal 40% crash test, BMW X3 pulled back a city, and both obtained full points in the side collision.
It is worth mentioning that in the active safety project, although both obtained a scoring rate of 100%, a careful comparison of the specific results can be found that in terms of automatic braking ability (AEB-CCR) and vehicle-to-pedestrian automatic braking ability (AEB-VRU-PED), The score of Landu FREE is slightly higher than that of BMW X3. The test only verifies the basic function of automatic braking, perhaps because The Landu FREE is better at the fusion of camera and millimeter-wave radar, and the recognition rate and reaction speed of the target have advantages over the BMW X3 based on the traditional fuel vehicle architecture, so the final subdivision results are different.
Obviously, after a comprehensive comparison, Landu FREE has not lost the safety performance of BMW X3, in the body structure and materials are thicker, the active safety configuration is also more abundant, in the crash test link, although the comprehensive scoring rate is not as good as BMW X3, but in several specific projects, Landu FREE has indeed achieved higher scores. It can be seen that the safety of domestic cars is not necessarily inferior to that of BBA models, at least Lantu FREE is like this.
