The safety of cars is always the most concerned issue for consumers, and many people will refer to the C-NCAP five-star safety certification before buying a car to evaluate whether the safety performance of the vehicle meets the needs of car purchase.
Recently, the Automobile Evaluation and Management Center of China Automotive Center announced the C-NCAP evaluation results of Leapmotor C10 (the test model is Leapmotor C10 530 Zhixiang Edition), with a comprehensive score rate of 90.2% and obtained C-NCAP five-star safety certification. Among them, the side pillar collision, vehicle-to-vehicle automatic braking ability, vehicle-to-pedestrian automatic braking ability, and lane keeping ability were tested, and Leapmotor C10 all received full scores.
As the first global strategic model of Leapmotor, the Leapmotor C10 has crossed the benchmark of 300,000-400,000 class models, setting a benchmark for 150,000-level car selection. In addition to the C-NCAP test project, the Leapmotor C10 has been specially designed and developed for a variety of safety scenarios, and is fully in line with the Euro NCAP evaluation procedures of the European New Car Safety Evaluation Association, reaching advanced industry standards in multiple safety fields.
Passive safety: The body of Leapmotor C10 is more "hard" and safer
On the one hand, Leapmotor C10 relies on CTC2.0 battery-chassis integration technology, a new steel-aluminum hybrid body structure, the industry's first integrated hot-formed beam frame, cast aluminum torque box and "seven-square" aluminum sill beam to create a high-strength cage body frame with nine horizontals and three verticals. In the C-NCAP crash test, the "harder" body ensures the safety of the passenger compartment. In particular, the 2000MPa ultra-high-strength door double anti-collision beam and seat beam used in the Leapmotor C10 have reached the standard of three or four hundred thousand luxury cars, and in the side impact test, the invasion of the collision into the passenger compartment has been minimized.
On the other hand, Leapmotor C10 realizes nanny-level surround occupant protection - it adopts class-leading front double pre-tensioned seat belts, and uses ultra-large airbags on the front/side, and the volume of airbags exceeds the industry level by 20%; Equipped with a door pressure sensor from Continental, the world's top supplier, the fastest 5.5ms side airbag/curtain detonation in a side impact is realized; The air curtain arrangement extends into the A-pillar, so that even if the vehicle is deflected in a collision, the longer air curtain can still provide effective protection for the occupants.
Active safety: AEB is standard in all models, and the cost is visible
In terms of active safety, the Leapmotor C10 is not only equipped with AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking System) as standard, but also has better active safety guarantee than similar models with richer perception hardware:
The Leapmotor C10 Comfort and Zhixiang models both use a combination of visual perception + millimeter-wave radar to establish a more reliable fusion perception capability; On the intelligent driving version of the model, the flagship-level perception hardware composed of lidar + Orin X intelligent driving chip is also added, which is a veritable intelligent driving assistance ceiling for cars of the same level.
At the same time, Leapmotor C10 has made a detailed and comprehensive calibration for common traffic participants, such as vehicles, pedestrians, two-wheelers, and common road scenarios, so that users can travel safer by car.
Multi-scenario test, Leapmotor C10 guarantees safety performance in an all-round way
In addition to the C-NCAP test project, Leapmotor C10 has also carried out a large number of targeted designs and tests for vehicle flooding scenarios, children's riding, and pedestrian safety.
In accordance with Euro NCAP evaluation procedures, Leapmotor C10 carried out a vehicle immersion test to verify the vehicle's anti-electric shock safety and personnel escape time. After 14 minutes in the water, the Leapmotor C10 can still float in the water, not completely sinking, the windows can be opened normally, and the 12V low-voltage battery is powered normally, which has won 14 minutes of precious time for the vehicle to escape after entering the water.
After a traffic accident, the driver loses consciousness or the vehicle breaks down and cannot be controlled, the vehicle is very easy to cause secondary accidents, and in various traffic accidents, the injuries caused by secondary accidents are even more serious. In order to avoid secondary injuries after accidents, Leapmotor C10 introduces the MCB (Multi-Collision Brake) anti-collision automatic braking system, which can reduce the secondary accident rate by about 30%.
Write at the end
In the era of intelligent new energy vehicles, the importance of automobile safety is often overlooked. However, as a means of transportation, safety should always be the first priority. As a leader among the new car-making forces, Leapmotor has always adhered to the "user-centric" concept of car manufacturing, created a new benchmark of 150,000-level safety, and the safety and reliability of the Leapmotor C10 have been verified.
