Domestic consumers' attention to car safety has been greatly improved compared with the past, and for some models that cut corners and are treated differently at home and abroad, they also know how to say "no". Recently, the famous domestic third-party crash testing agency "Zhongbao Research Institute" announced the results of the new phase of the crash test, including Buick Encore S, Toyota CH-R, Citroën Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS, Weipai Tank 300, Nissan New Generation X-Trail, Buick GL8 ES Luzun and Tesla Model Y. How they behave specifically, let's take a look.
First of all, let's look at the Encore S, as a compact SUV, focusing on the young consumer market. The models tested are the 2020 625T Elite and Deluxe. Among them, the crashworthiness and maintenance economy index is P (poor), and the vehicle auxiliary safety is M (general), but it still gets a G (excellent) evaluation in the most concerned occupant safety.
The second model is from toyota CH-R, which has been tested many models under the TNGA architecture before, and the results are very excellent, sweeping away the inherent impression of Toyota's "paper car" in the past. This time CH-R also lived up to expectations, in addition to the impact resistance and maintenance economy to take A (good), the other three major items are living G (excellent) evaluation. It can be said that if you are going to buy a car with sufficient safety performance, toyota is definitely not wrong.
The results of the Citroën Tianyi C5 are a bit surprising, after all, the selling point of the French car we hear the most frequently is the thick material. As a result, it seems that good ingredients require a qualified chef to cook them into delicacies, but Citroën's engineers don't seem to be so skilled. The occupant safety index in the car only got an A, except for the GL8, it is the worst performer of all SUVs, which is really embarrassing.
Judging from the test picture, although the A column is very strong in 25% of the links, the lower half has been significantly invaded, and the leg injury for the dummy is more obvious. At the same time, the coverage area of the side collision airbag is insufficient, and the debris generated by the collision has secondary damage to the dummy, so the results of Tianyi C5 can only get A.
Why is Tianyi C5 so poor? I think it's more because the model style is relatively old, and it is not optimized for the 25% test, so the safety performance is greatly reduced. Now I hope that China Insurance Research Institute can test the Versailles C5X as soon as possible, if the results of this car are still the same as the Tianyi C5, then no one in the French car should buy it.
The result of the tank 300 is just like its name, the hardness is comparable to the tank, in addition to the impact resistance and maintenance economy of A, all other links are G, and it ranks first among the models that have received G evaluation, which is even better than the BBA. I have to say that the Great Wall really put its mind on the tank 300 this time, and it deserves excellent sales and is welcomed by the market.
The new generation of Nissan X-Trail caused a complete collapse in sales due to the three-cylinder engine, but it delivered a satisfactory answer in this test. This also shows that Nissan has become more and more important about safety performance. Nowadays, Qijun has a large discount in the terminal market, and if you don't mind the three-cylinder engine, you can consider starting.
The Tesla Model Y is arguably the most popular new energy vehicle on the market, and it just topped the SUV sales list in March, and the models that can limit it do not exist at all. Moreover, in this crash test, it also showed excellent safety performance, and active and passive safety have good results. It is just that the one-piece frame is also amazing in terms of maintenance costs after the collision, which also makes its impact resistance and maintenance economy only get P (poor) results.
Finally, the only MPV Buick GL8 ES Lu Zun in the whole field, this is the second time that GL8 participated in the test, the results of the first test were very bad, the frontal 25% collision only obtained a P (poor) score, and also let the occupant safety index in the car get an M (general) evaluation.
The 2022 model of this test, the occupant safety index in the car has received an A rating, which has indeed improved compared with the previous 2017 model, but the re-test has not yet obtained a full score, which will indeed make people dissatisfied.
summary
On the whole, in addition to the Tianyi C5 and Buick GL8, the performance of other models in this list can meet expectations. This set of collision standards has been used for a long time, but every time the test has models that can not even pass this open-book examination, the negative attitude of this part of the car companies is really speechless.
