Toyota Camry with crashworthiness, pre-collision system testing, usability testing child safety seats aspects become excellent rating TOP SAFETY PICK + models. Light aspect, the low beam light distribution models for the left side of insufficient visibility, the visibility is quite satisfactory when the curve in the linear path, and therefore only a good rating, and with models of excellent rating. In terms of active safety systems, the Camry to the front of the vehicle anti-collision capabilities are excellent rating for pedestrian collision avoidance capability for advanced performance.
since its birth in 1982, the Toyota Camry has been developed to the eighth generation models. This generation Toyota Camry Rickey to build TNGA architecture, design more aggressive, and there are deluxe edition and sports version of the two visual styles to choose from, to meet the diverse needs of consumers; Measurements of size and 2825mm wheelbase 4885/1840 / 1455mm ensures plenty of interior space.

A Tezi Mazda in IIHS crash tests made TSP + rating. A Tezi 2016 Mazda models begin to increase the length of the side curtain airbags, and reprogrammed for the front, side airbag system time. In addition, since the beginning of 2018 models, Ate Zi for the passenger side A-pillar, door hinge pillar and side sills have been reinforced. These improvements make it in the crashworthiness test session and achieved excellent results. Lighting aspect, the low distribution models A Tezi high beam when the curve can not guarantee sufficient field of vision, so the only good rating; and with models equipped with the lights turned headlights, with outstanding results. In terms of active safety systems, A Tezi performance similar to the Toyota Camry.
successor as Mazda 6, A Tezi remains a dynamic fashion appearance design, good fuel economy and agile handling characteristics. However, compared to other competitors in the car joint venture, performance space Ate Zi was a short board. In addition, the power output naturally aspirated engine has also lost to current popular turbocharged engine, these factors lead to its overall strength is not prominent, thus limiting the performance in the domestic market. Although Mazda Ate Zi tests made TSP + excellent results in the IIHS crash, but the domestic version of the model only the top model will be equipped with brakes active / active safety systems, and its price has reached 239,800 yuan.
Subaru Legacy same outstanding performance in the IIHS crash tests, has made TOP SAFETY PICK + rating, but also onWith the platform to build the Outback also achieved the same rating. Legacy aspects of the crashworthiness test scores excellent ratings.

It is worth mentioning that the Subaru EyeSight driver assistance system performance surprise, either for vehicles or pedestrians have excellent anti-collision capability.
The IIHS test is the Subaru Legacy’s latest models, while the domestic version is still in the sale of the previous generation model, but Subaru in terms of security has been commendable, the domestic version of the sale was a 2018 TSP + models. Subaru all models in the country have adopted the form of import sales, horizontally opposed engine, all-wheel-drive system makes the Legacy in its class is very “different.” But Subaru brand influence in the country there is still much room for improvement, coupled with the high maintenance costs and relatively simple interior design, it can only make Legacy in the country to become a niche car.
Honda Accord is made TSP rating in this test, which is the same crashworthiness and active safety systems in the test session achieved excellent ratings. Accord loss in its sub-light, which produces nearly glare light, an LED, and high vehicle performance is not as high beam even with low halo high beam model, only a general rating score.
Honda Accord in January 2020 sold 22,118, made midsize sedan sales crown. Can be seen from the market, consumers tenth generation Honda Accord recognition. Tenth generation Honda Accord design is more biased in favor of younger consumers love sports style, it is equipped with 1.5T engine provides plenty of power reserve more high-power version of the model has a maximum power of 143kW and 260Nmiddot; m peak torque. Safety, Honda Accord whole system comes standard passive pedestrian protection, but not before the entry model with / rear head curtain airbags, small wisdom think the difference should not be reflected in the model configurationOn that pertain to life safety security configuration.
With Dengbang Nissan Teana, the “Japanese top three” in the car’s first full won the 2020 IIHS crash test TSP / TSP + evaluated. Like the Honda Accord and Nissan Teana in crashworthiness test session also excellent rating, and active safety systems in more favorable terms for civil defense line collision. Light aspect, sounds of nature with models using low halogen headlights, curve visibility is not high, so the general rating; and high models with no LED headlamps to achieve excellent results, rated only good.
In Nissan Teana comfort known, and therefore the “moving large sofa” reputation. After experiencing last updating, the new generation 2.0T models are equipped with a variable compression ratio engine maximum power of 185kW, peak torque 380Nmiddot; m, strong power output has become one of the highlights of the car. But a whole new generation of Teana high price, and lane departure warning system, lane keeping and adaptive cruise assist system equipped with only the top with the times and above models have the initiative braking / active safety systems can only be in the top with 2.0L 2.0T models and more models with low times in order to see, some regret.

Light aspect, depending on the lighting configuration, the tenth generation and Sonata respectively, to obtain excellent general rating. 5 models different from the above, the child safety seat ease of use, the tenth generation Sonata achieved only average ratings.
At present, in the sale of a Hyundai Sonata nine That is the ninth generation models, the year 2019 had received a TSP + rating, security not inferior to the latest generation of models. However, domestic sales of only nine top models Sonata comes standard with front / rear headKnee airbag and airbag unit active brakes active safety. Korean cars have once With high color value and cost-effective and popular domestic consumers, but this is different from the past, hope that the forthcoming tenth generation Sonata domestic market can restore the decline, boosting overall sales growth of modern brand.
consumers tend to focus on the exterior, interior, and space configuration in the purchase of the car, but many people just ignore safety is a big important vehicle indicators.
