AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/15 Report--

Since SAIC-Volkswagen Passat experienced the Baoyan crash test, public opinion on the safety of the model has been concerned. A few days ago, there is a video about the Passat car accident circulated on the Internet, after the accident, the Passat model was seriously damaged.

A video posted by Douyin user "always Love you" shows a black Volvo S90 and a brown Volkswagen Passat crashing at an intersection. In the accident, both cars were seriously damaged, the black Volvo S90 front face was damaged, the front cover was bulging, and it was not clear whether the airbag ejected from a long distance.

In contrast, the brown Volkswagen Passat is more severely damaged, except for the serious deformation of the front and rear doors, obvious lateral bends of the A-column and the bottom beam, and the side air curtain is also popped out. However, judging from the opening of the door of the main driver, the members of the car may not have been obviously hurt.

Since the accident occurred at a crossroads, it was speculated that the two cars might have collided at the intersection, and the Volvo S90 crashed head-on into the side of Volkswagen Passat, causing serious damage to the vehicle. And temporarily do not know the speed and the specific circumstances of the accident, Passat appears the current degree of damage, as well as the protective performance, still need professionals and relevant notification to explain.

However, Volvo, as the most "safe" brand in the world, has also received a good rating in the previous tests of Baoyan, which has achieved G (excellent) results in various tests of its models, including the safety and protection of occupants in the car. And from the point of view of the accident, there is a big gap in the degree of damage between the two.

On the other hand, in the 25% offset collision project tested by PICC, Volkswagen Passat bent its A-column at a nearly 90 °right angle, and the airbag in the airbag steering wheel did not catch the dummy's head, making it the lowest in PICC. On the side collision, although the door panel has a certain deformation, but the bottom beam is not obviously complete, the China Insurance Research Institute has given a (good) rating. As a result, Volkswagen Passat only got an M (general) score in terms of occupancy in the car.

It is worth noting that the vehicle encountered this time is not Volkswagen Passat to participate in the insurance research test model, the vehicle involved is 16 Murray 17 models, while China Insurance Research test is 19 models.

As for the result of the accident, the quality of the two cars will also be answered by people in the industry. after all, the location of the collision between the two cars is different, and under what circumstances and at what speed, different models have different degrees of damage.

But in any case, once the sales of the Passat was "king", and it was also a best-selling model in the domestic B market, but after the test of Zhongbao Research, the sales volume was seriously hit and is still in a state of malaise. Perhaps in the eyes of consumers, the safety and quality of the model should also be considered as one of the conditions for car purchase.
