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

Recently, the program "extreme car Test" organized a simulated road crash test about Tesla Model Y and Polar Fox Alpha S. the collision results showed that the side airbag of the polar fox Alpha S vehicle did not pop after the collision.

According to the relevant video shows: after the collision of the two vehicles, there is no obvious bend in the A-pillar position of the two vehicles, there is no obvious intrusion into the cab, and the driving side doors can be opened normally. At the same time, the airbags of the pilot and co-driver of the test vehicle popped open in time, and the air curtains on both sides of Tesla Model Y popped open at the same time, but the air curtains on the Alpha s side of the polar fox did not pop up normally. As of press time, the extreme car test program has not yet released the test results.

According to relevant data: polar Fox Alpha S officially launched on April 18 this year, a total of 4 models, official guidance price range of 25.19-344900 yuan. Positioned as a pure electric medium and large sedan, the new car provides two power and three mileage versions, and the NEDC mileage is 525km, 603km and 708km respectively. And domestic Tesla Model Y was officially listed on January 1 this year. There are two versions of the new car, priced at 339900 yuan and 369900 yuan respectively, and the corresponding models are the long-lasting version and the high-performance version of Performance. From the size of the two vehicles, the wheelbase and length of the body of Jihu Alpha S are better than Tesla Model Y.

However, with regard to the problem that the airbag on the side of the polar fox Alpha S did not pop, it happened as early as July when BYD Han EV collided head-on with BAIC's polar fox Alpha S when the car media platform "understanding car Emperor" released the video of the collision between BYD Han and BAIC polar fox Alpha S. In the collision video released by "understanding the car Emperor" last time, the polar fox Alpha S was also slightly deformed in the crew cabin, but the side airbag and side air curtain were not opened. On the other hand, the BYD Han EV vehicle was so deformed that it was difficult for the whole car to open the power-off door, but a fire broke out after sitting for 48 hours. BYD issued an official statement saying that the BYD EV mass production car was purple non-conductive coolant, and the collision video was replaced with red conductive coolant, resulting in short-circuit combustion. In addition, BYD officials also said that the testing standards and methods used in the video are non-mainstream, non-authoritative, and not national or industry standards. We welcome the media to adopt innovative testing standards and methods, but we hope that the media can communicate and discuss with enterprises in advance before the test, so that the personalized design differences of different models can be fully taken into account in the test. so as to ensure that the test results are more objective and reasonable. At the same time, for over-interpretation and malicious extension of the media, reserve the right to pursue their legal responsibility! For BYD Han EV and BAIC polar fox Alpha S head-on collision, polar fox Alpha S side airbag, side air curtain did not open, polar fox Alpha S official did not respond.

At present, on the "extreme car test" program of the collision video, about the polar fox Alpha S side airbag did not pop, the official has not yet replied, the follow-up situation, we will continue to pay attention. However, it is worth noting that this is not a traditional traction control or indoor wall impact test, but a simulated highway test, and its rigor needs to be further verified.
