AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/07 Report--
Netizens revealed that Volkswagen put in the advertisement of "safe without reduction". We found that this "Volkswagen" is not a domestic Volkswagen, but an imported car of Volkswagen. Volkswagen hinted crazily, as if to say something.
Open the official website of Volkswagen imported cars, in the imported Volkswagen Tiguan page, there is indeed the word "safe without reduction". Is it possible that the domestic version is not safe and will be reduced? All this starts with the collision test.
The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan received excellent evaluation on the crash results of the American Highway Safety Insurance Association IIHS. The A-pillar was not significantly deformed, the cockpit was intact, the airbag opened normally and worked, and finally won the highest safety rating of IIHS 2019 Top Safety Pick+. If this is the normal play of Volkswagen Tiguan, then the domestic version of SAIC Volkswagen Touguan L can be said to be miserable.
C-IASI of China Insurance Research conducted a crash test on SAIC-Volkswagen Tuguan L in 2018. In the 25% frontal bias collision, the front of Tuguan L collapsed severely, the upper part of the crew cabin invaded heavily, and the dummy was injured in the leg, resulting in a P rating. In a side collision, he only gets an A rating. For the entire in-car occupant safety index project, Tuguan L finally got the M rating, which is far less than the overseas version G.
Under the same collision test standard, it is a completely different result, reducing the real hammer? After the collision test of China Baoyan C-IASI, we also found that domestic Maiteng and domestic Passat also lost points seriously, the A-column deformation was more and more serious, and the firewall shrank inward to invade the living space of the cockpit. What is even more incomprehensible is that the domestic Passat driving airbag exploded and ran away, due to excessive lateral displacement of the steering wheel, causing the dummy to hit the car body directly.
Volkswagen imported cars are part of Volkswagen (China) sales Co., Ltd., which is 100% owned by Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Volkswagen declared that "there is no reduction in safety" this time, while its domestic joint venture company has achieved such a poor result, which seems to confirm the possibility of domestic reduction, and it also means to recruit without a fight or throw a stone into a well. Some netizens said, "it turns out that officials have admitted the problem of the reduction of FAW and SAIC."
However, Volkswagen's official words are also self-slapping, after all, the same hanging of the VW brand, or damage its own brand image. Industry insiders said, "in fact, the most unbearable thing for Chinese users is discrimination between inside and outside, which is even more abhorrent and even more unbearable than buying a real bad car."
If the imported version of Volkswagen is "cleaner and safer", what kind of slogan should be attached to the domestic version?
