AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/17 Report--

Since Passat became popular under the crash testing agency of China Insurance Research, all models related to SAIC-Volkswagen Passat have become the focus of netizens' attention. After all, models from the same group are comparable to each other. A few days ago, China Insurance Research once again released the collision results of FAW-Volkswagen Audi's domestic A6L model, as the test has not been completed, only some pictures have been released this time.

According to the test screenshot released by Zhongbao Research, A6L performed excellently. In the front 25% offset collision, there was no obvious deformation from A column to B column, and the hub did not invade into the driving cabin. Except for the collision area, the frame structure of the entire body cockpit remained basically intact. At the same time, the side air curtain in the car was opened normally, and the specific situation in the car could not be understood due to only screenshots.

Although it comes from the same group of models, but through the comparison with SAIC-Volkswagen Passat, it is obviously much better. In the 25% offset collision on the front, the A-pillar is bent 90 degrees, the front door has been seriously damaged, and the invasion is obvious. Compared with the result of Audi A6L, it can be said that there is no need to rely on Zhongbao Research to give the A6L rating to imagine the body safety of this model.

Of course, there are also a lot of netizens talking about the collision result of the A6L, in the view of many netizens: if even the Audi A6L model is "finished", then Volkswagen really cannot survive. And the A6L, as a luxury model, is not in the same class as the parallel Passat. At the same time, there are many netizens who agree with the collision result of A6L.

It is worth mentioning that the Audi A6L collision test is voluntary, according to the Audi A6L Research Institute previously issued a "Audi A6L Test Notification" collision test notice shows that FAW-Volkswagen took the initiative to test 2019 40TFSI luxury dynamic Audi A6L models. The official guiding price of this car is 409800 yuan. Obviously, FAW-Volkswagen Audi is full of confidence in A6L, as a result, there is no need to worry too much.

In fact, from the current FAW Volkswagen, Skoda and Audi, as well as SAIC Roewe collision results show that they are better than SAIC Volkswagen's Passat, so who should be responsible for the emergence of Passat?

FAW-Volkswagen Maiteng, a model of the same class as SAIC-Volkswagen Passat, also showed a slight bend of A-pillar under the test results of China Insurance Research, which resulted in an invasion of the upper part of the crew cabin, resulting in an M (general) rating. The overall test is A (good), which is better than Passat in terms of rating and collision pictures.

If it is not Volkswagen's problem, then look at SAIC's own brand Roewe RX5 MAX in the China Insurance Research rating, except for crashworthiness and maintenance economy index to get P (poor), the others are G (excellent) rating. The test results show that the A-column bends slightly, but the frame structure of the whole body cockpit remains relatively intact.

By comparison, although Audi and Volkswagen Passat are not of the same level, Audi A6L is a high-end model, while Passat is a mid-range model, but its "high" is not highlighted in quality and safety, but in configuration. Even compact or autonomous models with lower prices than Passat perform better than Passat, so whose result should Passat be?
