➤ had been banned “Tucao Assembly,” recently aired in the fourth quarter, attracted onlookers crowd soon eat melon. The car circle has also staged a hubbub of the “car Tucao Assembly” – the Passat sent a Bulgarian research position of the main coffee.
how to send a law?
Look at this Feishazoushi car beyond recognition, if that is the center of the hub cover the remaining VW logo, it is hard to identify this car driven to such a tragic yet it is the Passat . Or to be more precise number, which is SAIC Volkswagen Passat.
25 percentage offset crash test is the devil do?
If you want to ask is how the Passat has been sent to the main coffee position “car Tucao the General Assembly”, it would have to begin with a crash test from 25 percentage bias.
At first, the world’s automobile crash tests, generally contain three main subjects, namely, frontal crash test complete, side impact test and frontal offset crash test. C-NCAP our example, mainly including three major items, wherein the C-NCAP frontal offset crash test uses a 40 percent overlap ratio.
had in fact many other countries offset crash courses are taken 40 the percentage of overlapping rate can be said is a relatively common subjects. The major automobile manufacturers in the research and development, has gradually overlap crash test 40 percentage rates as a p3 to overcome, so the vast majority of cars can get high marks in these subjects, of course, does not rule out occasionally still in see the two stars have only been on the list of confusing operating C-NCAP.
because we have put 40 percentage overlap rate offset crash test questions that will be figured out, someone introduced the offset crash test 25 percentage overlap rate, more do that for Highway Safety Insurance Association, the English abbreviation for IIHS, presumably a lot of people are not familiar.
The overlap ratio percentage of from 40 to 25 percentage, although it looks just a mere difference in the figures 15 percent, but actually the width of a collision than beforeIt is less by 37.5 percentage. More importantly, the main force structure of many vehicles are concentrated in the following comparison by the middle position, overlap rate was reduced to 25 percentage, for some models, it could become “totally avoid the correct answer,” the embarrassing situation. ▲ 2012 Audi A4
so 25 percentage offset crash test launched in 2012 has just begun execution time, including then BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-class, Audi A4 models like the luxury brand are planted in a somersault on this subject, only a few models, such as the Honda Accord, Zexi Suzuki, Subaru Forester, Volvo S60, etc. , won the “excellent” rating.
Only later, when sections of the model updating, modification, has been stepping up measures to deal with the 25 percentage offset collision, to get excellent rating in the IIHS crash test model was more up.

So it seems, 25 percentage offset crash test is really a devil.
Thanksgiving mediator research, we also have a guardian devil
Later, the Bulgarian research reference IIHS, also launched a series of car safety tests, according to the test results, summarized as “China Insurance auto safety index “, which is currently the most outsize few letters –CIASI, including the devil of this 25 percentage overlap rate offset crash test.
However, given the current most models can be fully frontal collision test, get good grades, CIASI does not involve testing high-speed frontal collision completely, we see the figure below is a low-speed frontal crash test frontal crash tests this subject is used to measure vehicle maintenance economy.
In addition, CIASI subjects also comprising a side impact test, roof strength test, a low-speed crash tests, the seat / headrest evaluation, pedestrian protection and FCW / AEB testing.
The seven test subjects resultsThe final score obtained four dimensions, namely crashworthiness and service economy index, index-vehicle occupant safety, car safety index and laymen vehicle auxiliary safety index to four levels as the evaluation conclusions, from high to low divided into G (excellent), A (good), M (general), P (poor).
needs to be noted that from the above list, you will find that most of the vehicles on the crashworthiness and maintenance of the economic index score, can not get the best G rating, and even most of the models are P rating.
This is because in this one score years, including “service economy index.” This evaluation is highly correlated with the previous two years fiery “zero-stoichiometric” topic, you can not deny that this is a very important indicator for the auto insurance industry, but as a consumer, you may be more concerned about the vehicle occupant safety index.
So look at this summary diagram, may be more intuitive, it is presented in a separate test scores seven subjects, the first row is 25 percentage offset impact evaluation .
Passat crashed out of the China Insurance Institute
Of course, only the rating is not enough to highlight why this fear once Passat was sent to the “car Tucao Assembly,” the main coffee position, we take a look 25 percentage offset crash test scores plot of this item.
shown below, Passat CIASI index 25 is now offset collision percentage of subjects bottom players, users even humorous: “Passat the abscissa people are elongated.”
[ 123] indeed, the Passat than a guy tied for the second lowest record 24 points several cars, but also more in mind 20 points. Yeah, a closer look, there is also the penultimate their own side, Tiguan L.
to see what happens in the Passat collision test at 25 percentage bias. First of all, we can understand, Passat 25 percentage offset crash tests have been unable to preserve the passenger compartment, the passenger compartment is significantly compromised, severe deformation of the A-pillar, the roof have been the clincher. In this case, the passenger in the driver’s seat of life would be a very serious threat.
which alsoOnly the surface of the case, by watching the video test, found dummy driver’s seat when a collision occurs, the head straight into the left front side of the dashboard, the steering wheel airbag completely unable to constrain the trajectory of the dummy head.
For reference, we take to get an excellent evaluation of the percentage of the 25 offset collision tests do demonstration models. It is better to look at the BMW 325Li, the Passat because it has some things in common, for example, belong to the German brand cars, are all in the car, are also models (3 Department of the Chinese market, especially for the long-wheelbase version exclusively for the Chinese market SAIC Volkswagen Passat is also the overseas does not have a version).
325Li 25 percentage offset collision test, A pillar is not obvious modification the passenger compartment intrusion less, and the trajectory of the dummy can be very well constrained, various sub-items are to score through the whole G, it can be said to be a textbook-like hit.
always believed that public opinion would have been the wind assessment as German cars of Volkswagen cars are no doubt good in terms of security, after all, “this car more advanced,” this time it knocked the bottom of the results, as if the king rut I heard “Pa Pa Pa” the sound of her face.
have attentive friends will find Passat in the test, the dummy’s head restraint can not be good because the test car is not equipped with side curtain airbags, Volkswagen fans who might So will the record straight, indicate that the test is unfair. Some even argue that other brands are also the least secure distribution models to do a targeted strengthening, is to arrive at a better CIASI results. I said Brother, that your imagination is not too rich a point?
The fact is precisely that the fans are very sorry to have to be beaten face.
as mediator Institute used for vehicle crash testing all is the minimum configuration version which models, only FCW / AEB test subjects using a version equipped with the appropriate configuration.
nothing, not even with the lowest Passat is equipped with side curtain airbags?As a mid-sized car, it estimated that many people did not expect the Shanghai Volkswagen will pull the costs in this regard, to make a distinction between the level of passive safety configuration with models. So it seems, it is to seek death this time Passat hit the muzzle.
We have always believed in the security configuration, all models should be equipped with the same level of all models and specifications of safety equipment. We are very reluctant to see the lack of security vehicles were sold to consumers in the hands of everybody.
“fans” will firmly support it?
We do not deny that everyone can all have love, even if this time it was sent “car Tucao Assembly,” the SAIC Volkswagen Passat, it may also have advantages in other areas. The China Insurance Institute crash test results after the announcement, there are many man-made Passat security to speak, for example, “What car are not used to hit,” “Japanese cars are the type examination candidates,” and so on, really can not express Jun rut anymore.
To some extent, this is also a kind of connivance parties cars, ugly to say, people will not because the manufacturers of your support and was pleased, and because of poor academic performance but also win the trust of the market and chuckle.
Here, we are talking about it is not only the Passat such a car, and earlier also had several “large-scale roll-over site” is not really in a rollover crash tests, but there are a few money in the market has a good performance of the car, a hit, it knocked the problem.
Passat is really just a drop of the biggest car, has just won the B-class car sales champion in October and November, has become CIASI 25 percentage deviation in December set crash tests in the penultimate worse than a lot of cars.
east had also popular models Honda Civic, the crash test at the B-pillar CIASI severing all sides. As well as Beijing Hyundai Festa, 25 percentage offset crash test A-pillar severely deformed, but slightly behind the tragic extent of the Passat.
and they are currently on the market, still to maintain peace of mind attitude,It is really regret.
So you’re saying this time Passat sales will be much impact? Probably will not have much impact, perhaps over a period of time we forget. Ah, forget may be true, may be selectively forgotten. You know, selective forgetting to be more than really forget the tragedy.
compared to how it was before science?
The Passat a hit, many onlookers came up with the US regulatory rules Passat Passat were to compare the IIHS crash test results CIASI and found that the US version of the Passat won in IIHS tests full outstanding results, while the regulation was appalling.
It should be noted that the regulation SAIC Volkswagen Edition Passat is already updating the version, based on MQB platform development, and US regulations Passat is still the “old” PQ46 platform Passat, corresponding to the previous generation SAIC Volkswagen Passat. There is no comparison
both? Of course there are, in fact, security does not change with the new generation has little, in theory, the more the new generation models, the more fishes there should be progress on security. Clearly, international brands such as Volkswagen, can not be without the ability to develop more secure Passat, but the fact is that a red P.
Tiguan ▲ PICC research test L
▲ in IIHS testing the US version of the Tiguan
on the Tiguan L body is the same situation, in fact, Volkswagen sold in the US Tiguan body with SAIC Tiguan Volkswagen L is the same, than the European version of the Tiguan (that is, the country also has sales of imported Tiguan) longer. US version of the Tiguan in IIHS also obtained with excellent results, only headlight safety evaluation is poor, while the regulation Tiguan L obtained in 25 percentage offset crash test is a red P.
things are now, how to look at, probably no need to say.
But here also explain, SAIC Volkswagen Passat and Tiguan L crash test results are only representative of these two cars, SAIC Volkswagen other models do not have referential. After all, also from SAIC Shanghai Volkswagen Skoda Cody Pontiac plant,In 25 percentage offset collision or get a good evaluation thing.
FAW – Volkswagen model lineup, much less representative of, for example, Guangzhou Honda and Dongfeng Honda Accord Inspire, this is only the beginning and end one pairs appearance headlights and bumper have a slight difference between the sister car. Although Inspire summary results have not yet been announced, but only 25 percentage offset crash test report picture, Inspire A-pillar bending occurs, the A-pillar and the Accord has remained intact. The difference between the two is also corroborated even if the overall body design is the same two cars, opened from different vendors, the factory will have different performance.
▲ Accord
▲ Inspire
Of course, the FAW – Volkswagen has magotan in security research tested, of which 25 percentage offset crash test results is M, not color, but compared to the Passat cousin, or some slightly stable. FAW – Volkswagen has unveiled whether Magotan, safety aspects of the performance of the mid-term facelift has strengthened, we will have to see Bulgarian research will be tested again. After all, in the United States IIHS, examples facelift by the opportunity to improve the safety of either.
at full speed, to protect your other half
At present, PICC research has become perhaps the most authoritative institution of China’s auto industry in terms of the safety evaluation, and research is also very active mediator continues promote a more in-depth security test.
Previously, the offset crash test only hit the left side, so many people on the right side of the offset crash test results are curious, overseas, there are examples show some models are indeed doing “examination” work. In order to prevent opportunistic vendors, 2016, IIHS introduced a 25 percentage overlap rate bias on the passenger side crash tests, and on the next day after the crash test results published in the Passat, Bulgarian Institute also announced the completion of the right side of 25 percentage overlap rate offset crash test demo.
Mediator future research will be to the right of the offset crash test into the CIASI, of course, is worth the wait and commendable. Jun rut saying is that you can look at this demonstration test car of choice is a demonstration of what car.
is not make you think, past the open class at the primary and secondary school period, when the teacher asks a question, they’re sure to learn the best point of the class that few students to answer questions in order to maintain harmonious classroom atmosphere?
