AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/16 Report--

As a result of Volkswagen Passat in the China Insurance Research C-IASI collision test A-pillar fracture, resulting in "sudden cold", quickly attracted the attention of the industry, and aroused the continuous fermentation of public opinion on the Internet. However, half a month after the incident, SAIC Volkswagen voluntarily applied to hit Passat again, hoping to regain "face".

The Volkswagen Passat test will continue and a crash test will be carried out from April 13 to April 17, 2020, according to the official website of China Automotive Research C-NCAP.

According to the video posted online, SAIC C-NCAP completed the 100% overlapping rigid barrier collision and 40% offset collision test on the front of Volkswagen Passat as promised. Although China Automotive Research C-NCAP has not yet given a relevant rating for this collision test, according to the on-site collision video provided by Volkswagen Passat, the A-column performance of Volkswagen Passat is in good condition in both collision tests, and there is no nearly 90-degree bend, or even no obvious bend, as in the previous Baoyan C-IASI test.

Among them, in the collision of 100% overlapping rigid barrier on the front, Volkswagen Passat collided at the speed of 50km/h, except for the damage to the front lip, cover and other parts caused by the normal collision, and there was no obvious collapse in the front of the car. At the same time, the airbags of the whole vehicle popped up, and the central control collision performed well. As the personnel collision situation was not announced by the C-NCAP, the occupant collision results are not known for the time being.

As for the 40% offset crash test, Volkswagen Passat crashed at the speed of 64km/h per hour, and the A-pillar performed well, with the exception of partial damage to the front of the car and a certain offset of the left front wheel, the overall performance was good, and all the airbags inside the body ejected.

According to the workflow of C-NCAP, Passat has completed some real car crash tests, followed by whipping tests and other tests, and finally scored and rated according to C-NCAP regulations.

In fact, for the current Passat in the Auto Research C-NCAP results are expected, after all, the information released by C-NCAP shows that the test vehicle is the elite version of Passat 330 TSI (that is, 2.0T low configuration, price 217900 yuan), which is different from the 280TSI (1.4T minimum configuration, price 184900 yuan) model tested by China Insurance Research C-IASI. The core difference is that the former is equipped with front / rear head safety air curtains.

Although the production date of the test vehicle is December 18, 2019, and the purchase date is January 8, 2020, it is also the 2019 model, but the Passat crash test is a "voluntary application" from SAIC Volkswagen Motor Co., Ltd.

Moreover, compared with the various items in the test collision of China Insurance Research C-IASI, the collision of China Automobile Research C-NCAP is also less stringent. therefore. Theoretically speaking, the result of C-NCAP of China Automobile Research Institute is better than that of China Insurance Research C-IASI.

So that the netizens who finished reading the results did not "buy it". After all, C-NCAP 's collision results have been questioned by the outside world more than once. Judging from its published collision results, the situation of five-star evaluation is in the majority, and it is also called "five-star wholesale department" by many netizens.

It is just that the specific performance of Volkswagen Passat has not been rated by the C-NCAP of China Automobile Research Institute, but judging from the current performance of Volkswagen Passat in the C-NCAP of China Automobile Research Institute, it is still good, so it will not give a too bad rating for the time being. At the same time, if China Automotive Research C-NCAP gives Volkswagen Passat too high rating, it will undoubtedly hit its own "word of mouth" again.
