Don't step on thunder when buying a car
May 22nd, 2022

Recently, China Insurance Research Institute c-iasi announced the collision test results of seven models: Buick GL8, Tesla Model y, Citroen Tianyi C5, Buick oncoway s, Toyota c-hr, tank 300 and xinxinjun. There are many popular models in the subdivided fields. Today, combined with the test results released this time, assuming that one of them is just covered in your car purchase plan, how to choose?

1、 Buick GL8

Official selling price: 2329-533900 yuan

Model overview: Buick GL8 probably didn’t expect that this unique Chinese model can firmly rank first in the current Chinese MPV market (don’t compare Wuling and Chang’an with it, which are not pure MPV models). Some people say that it benefits from its fashionable design and accurate grasp of the Chinese market. These points are true, but if Buick GL8 talks about money and generation, its history is far less than that of Odyssey and Senna.

Success is not unreasonable. Friends who have taken Buick GL8 know that its loading capacity is still very strong. It can be said that it perfectly deduces the space performance of an MPV. In the most worrying third row space, GL8 can also be easily handled. When used, the trunk space can still accommodate three boarding boxes of about 20 inches. Because of its strong space performance, GL8 has today’s position in the market.

However, only space is obviously not enough. In recent years, Buick GL8 began to make a big fuss at the luxury level, and the car series is also divided into ordinary version and luxury Avenir Avia version. The whole system is equipped with 2.0T engine. In this way, Buick GL8 has maintained a good sales volume with complete lining and face. Looking at all the competitors, even if the powers are around, it will stand firm.

In terms of safety, Buick GL8 also participated in the crash test of China Insurance Research Institute before, but its performance was not ideal in the earlier test. There was also a bending of A-pillar. This collision is the medium-term modified model of GL8. From the test results, it can be seen that the medium-term modified GL8 has a commission in all aspects of safety performance, especially in the 25% offset collision, from the previous P (poor) to a (good), The roof strength has also been improved from a (good) to G (excellent).

After the mid-term modification of GL8, the A-pillar was slightly deformed in the 25% offset collision, which was much better than that of the old model. The GL8 in the side impact has also lost serious points before, and has also been improved on the new models. On the whole, although the overall performance of the medium-term modified GL8 has not reached the optimal state, considering the adverse factors in its MPV structure, the progress in security of the medium-term modified GL8 is still worthy of recognition. However, it can be further strengthened in terms of body materials.

2、 Buick oncoway

Official selling price: 209900-309900 yuan

If you were asked to buy an SUV within the price range of 200000 yuan, would you include Buick ankovi in the alternative list? It is estimated that many consumers are unlikely to choose it. In this price range, there are countless domestic SUVs, which have made great efforts in terms of space, power and configuration. But the test still needs to be tested. Whether it sells well or not is put aside. First of all, the car must be OK.

Similarly, playing back the old Buick oncoway model, there was no small controversy in the first phase of the test of China Insurance Research Institute, because oncoway is a model produced in China and then sold back to the U.S. market. It can be said that the Chinese Standard Version of the old oncoway and the returned models have achieved very different results in the test of China Insurance Research Institute and the IIHS crash test in the United States. Especially in the rigid performance of the roof, there are great differences between the two. The medium gauge version is very “straddling”.

Up to now, China Insurance Research Institute has tested Buick ankway s model again. We see that it has achieved g excellence in the passenger safety index in the vehicle, 25% offset collision on the driver’s side is also g excellence, and the roof strength and side collision are also g excellence. Similarly, the pedestrian safety index and pedestrian protection outside the vehicle are also excellent. “Don’t steam steamed bread, fight for breath”. This time, Buick ankoway finally found a trace of face.

However, in terms of crashworthiness and maintenance economy, ankoway received a poor evaluation of P. Get m general evaluation on vehicle auxiliary safety. In that sentence, combined with its price, in terms of safety assistance, leonkovic’s performance is far from reaching the standard of domestic cars of the same level.

But anyway, a strong body should come first. This is the foundation, but at the same time, we can’t ignore the balanced performance of some safety auxiliary configurations. We hope that oncoway will continue to maintain excellent achievements in future collisions and see more progress at the same time.

3、 Citroen Tianyi C5 Aircross

Official selling price: RMB 159700-229700

Looking at the selling price of Citroen Tianyi C5 Aircross, it will undoubtedly be more people-friendly and grounded. From the side, it also truly reflects the dilemma of Citroen models in the domestic market. In fact, in this test, I would like to see the performance of Versailles c5x, but this time, China Insurance and Research Institute chose Citroen Tianyi C5 Aircross as the player, which is also worthy of attention.

But unexpectedly, the Citroen C5 Aircross Tianyi, as the representative of the legal system car, did not achieve excellent results. Look at its test results:

Firstly, in the 25% offset collision, it is a (good), and the A-pillar has a certain bending; To tell you the truth, it’s a little out of line with the consistent performance of legal cars. It’s very unexpected. Second, the front side air curtain of the vehicle is not large enough, and the score of side impact is a. the air curtain blocks the dummy’s head between the air curtain and the window. If there is a traffic accident, it will be extremely dangerous. I don’t know whether it is a design problem or a sudden case.

Third, in the roof strength test, the peak load of Citroen Tianyi was only 53954 n, which did not meet the excellent standard of four times the vehicle weight.

After watching the performance of Tianyi, the author was also surprised. We should know that Tianyi C5 Aircross is a global model of Citroen. In the previous Euro NCAP test collision, it received a 5-star evaluation. In the official publicity, it is clearly pointed out that
