AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/28 Report--

On March 27th, the C-IASI China Insurance Automobile Safety Index released pictures of the Buick Regal's 25% offset crash site on its official account.

From the picture point of view, Buick Regal's A column has not undergone a larger deformation, it can be said to be relatively strong. The airbag in the middle of the steering wheel also catches the dummy's head well, which protects the dummy better. In addition, the wheel deformation and engine intrusion into the cockpit is not much, it can be said that the overall performance is good.

At present, Buick Regal's positive 25% offset collision result has not come out, but from all aspects of performance, Regal should be able to get relatively good results.

It is understood that the car participating in the test is the Buick Regal 2019 20T elite model, which is standard with eight airbags (including front head airbags). However, judging from the situation of this collision, the front and rear head airbags of Buick Regal did not pop open in time, which is quite surprising from one point of view.

Although in the front 25% offset collision, the reduction of side head airbag initiation can reduce maintenance costs, but in the reality of similar major accidents, the timely initiation of airbags can well protect the safety of the occupants, from this point of view, Regal "lost".

At present, a total of two GM Buick models have completed the test of MPV GL8 and SUV Enkewei, GL8 rated P (poor) in crashworthiness and maintenance economy index, M (general) in member safety index, A (good) in pedestrian safety index, and G (safety) in vehicle auxiliary safety index. The safety index of members in the car is A (good), and the safety index of pedestrians outside the vehicle and the auxiliary safety index of vehicles are rated as G (safety).

Judging from the performance of these two models, the realization of the GL8 is a bit disappointing, and the performance of the Ankewei is also very mediocre. It is worth mentioning that the two models in the front 25% offset collision test, equipped with the side head airbag also did not detonate, the safety of the crew is also affected to a certain extent.

GM Buick does not have a bad reputation at home. According to sales data, SAIC GM sold 1.4633 million vehicles in 2019, of which the Buick brand sold 837300 vehicles, which is the main sales force of SAIC GM.

For Regal's performance, some netizens said that Buick Regal A-pillar strong performance is a good thing, but GL8, Onkway and Regal's side airbags did not detonate, this is a "ancestral" problem, has a certain impact on the safety of passengers, need to pay attention to.
