AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/24 Report--

C-IASI officially announced the crash test video of "SAIC Volkswagen Passat" model. Passat front 25% offset collision evaluation project Passat cockpit serious deformation, steering wheel lateral displacement excessive, airbag did not play a protective role, video process shocking.

The first three tests use SAIC Volkswagen Passat 2019 280TSI Business Edition (lowest configuration). The results show that the overall rating of crash resistance and maintenance economy is A (good), the overall rating of passenger safety inside the vehicle is M (fair), and the overall rating of passenger safety outside the vehicle is G (excellent). The vehicle auxiliary safety use is the 2019 380TSI Ultimate Edition (high configuration), with an overall rating of G (excellent).

Among them, the front 25% offset collision rating of 64km/h is P (poor). According to the video picture, the front part of the test process is seriously collapsed, resulting in deformation and invasion of the cockpit and fracture of the A-pillar. More seriously, even if the Passat is equipped with a front airbag, due to excessive lateral displacement of the steering wheel, the airbag does not protect the dummy's head after deployment, resulting in two head contacts with the hard structure. In other words, the effect is equivalent to no airbag.

At the same time, SAIC Volkswagen Passat's front 25% offset crash test was fierce, directly breaking the record. Among all 41 models of C-IASI up to now, Passat's score was at the bottom, and the safety degree was much lower than Pentium T77, Kia Smart Run, Buick GL8, BYD Song MAX and Volkswagen Tiguan L.

Some netizens said,"This should be the most heroic sacrifice of a dummy,""The front airbag face did not catch, 25% of the test looks too scary!" Some netizens said,"A pillar folded into this way, airbag perfect avoidance, this car is taking life joke?"

It is understood that during the test process, the manufacturer's technical personnel tracked and watched the crash test on site. For such results, SAIC Volkswagen has not made any statement at present. As for whether it will make targeted structural strengthening in the subsequent production models, the manufacturer has no news to announce.

China Insurance Research Institute of Automobile Technology was initiated by China Insurance Industry Association in March 2015. It was jointly funded by the top eight property insurance companies in PICC Property Insurance, Ping An Property Insurance, CPIC Property Insurance, National Life Insurance, China United, Dadi Property Insurance, Sunshine Property Insurance and Taiping Property Insurance and Jingyou Century Company. The original "Beijing China Insurance Research Institute of Automobile Technology" was restructured and headquartered in Beijing. China Insurance Research Institute is the only official member organization of RCAR in China. So far, the company's CIASI Insurance Automobile Safety Index has carried out crash tests on 41 domestic models.

The words "advanced","thick" and "safe" have always been the impression of domestic consumers on Volkswagen, but after experiencing the real collision of Tiguan L, Magotan and Passat, the popular belief and popular myth may be shattered.
