mentioned in automotive safety, may lead many consumers will expect from the Nordic brand Volvo. It is because of the performance of the vehicle driving safety even more outstanding, and therefore also in the minds of many consumers left a deep imprint. And safe “label” has become the biggest advantage of Volvo luxury car market competition. And after the acquisition Geely, Volvo in recent years in the country has made substantial progress. In just the last in 2019, Volvo sales in China reached 160,000, an increase of 18.2 percentage, which only Chinese mainland sales exceeded 150,000, reaching 155,000, it has also become Volvo’s nearly 10 years in China best result.
However, although Volvo to get good results in terms of volume, but its “settle down” security advantages but being gradually disintegrated. According to foreign media recently reported that Volvo AEB (automatic emergency braking system) and in some cases not automatically brake and at the desired temperature, but the problem does not affect normal brake system. In this regard, Volvo plans to recall between January 2019 to March 2020 production of almost all models in the sale, a total of 736,000, including 150,000 cars on the Chinese market.
aspects of specific models, the official said the recall involves its S60, V60, V60 CC, S90, V90, V90 CC, XC40, XC60, XC90 total of nine models, production time for the January 2019 to March 2020.
Volvo performance in recent years can be described by leaps and bounds, on the global market, several major sell fast, and not say Volvo earn pours , but also definitely be a great harvest. 2019 global sales of more than 700,000, is the best result since Volvo was founded in 1993. At the same time in the past year, Volvo introduced the product of speed and scale are significantly faster, only Asia-Pacific launch of the new car, there are five models, including the new S90, the new XC40, the new S60, S60 new energy and new XC60.
but it is easy pace inviting big step eggs, Volvo in the rapid expansion of product lines, product quality is somewhat left behind. On last year in the countryHalf of the car brand quality rankings among hundreds Volvo car number 145 from the failure came in eighth place, and it came in front of a sibling is its collar grams (several hundred cars fault 142). But a closer look at the reasons looked complaint only to find later, Volvo’s complaint does not involve any problem Big Three and security.
Perhaps this is Volvo’s safety image imprinted in people’s minds too deep, Volvo potential customers who are not particularly concerned about some of the things on the details, because they are directed at safe to go. This time AEB (automatic emergency braking system) problems, can be considered to Volvo sounded the alarm.
From the reasons for the recall of view, mainly because the AEB (automatic emergency braking system) there is a certain risk, and this risk appeared in all Volvo’s sales on models. This is also from another angle, this configuration is standard on all models sold. Volvo’s all relative to competing products in terms of, AEB (automatic emergency braking system) is Volvo’s focus on safety and reflected a high base configuration.
with the Volvo S60, for example, include AEB function, including City Safety is a whole system comes standard, even the most entry-Volvo S60 T3 cars. The S60’s rivals in this respect BBA indeed somewhat less on the performance, the Audi A4L need 1600 yuan optional rear side airbags; Mercedes-Benz C-Class loading channel selected keeping assist system needs 9000 yuan, 4600 yuan A4L you need an option, even BMW opportunities are not optional; the most important active safety features, the entry-level model in the Mercedes-Benz C-class only provides the other two competing products can not impose that configuration.
compared to some of the problems still have to rely on the collective rights of the owners of the positive performance when compared to again deal with car prices, Volvo face the problem worthy of recognition of. Black does not blow, Volvo announced a recall of this initiative, at least that this “security class representative” Volvo is not white when.
