AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/23 Report--

As one of the most popular MPV models in China, Toyota Elfa is widely respected by elites and celebrities. Among the million-level MPV, Erfa can be said to be one of the most popular. Due to the domestic price increase storm, it has even reached the point where it is difficult to get a car, so how is its safety? Recently, some domestic media exposed the results of the collision test in J-NCAP in Japan, but the performance of the final collision was unexpected.

J-NCAP is an automobile safety evaluation agency in Japan. The agency's collision test items include rigid barrier collisions (55km/h) with 100% overlap in the front, deformable barrier collisions (64km/h) with 40% overlap in the front, and side deformable mobile barrier collisions (the speed is 55km/h, which is higher than the European standard 50km/h). There are also pedestrian protection (44km/h) and child collision protection test (55km/h) that are not available in C-NCAP (China New car Evaluation regulations).

Deformable barrier collision: in all kinds of car collision tests, when the speed reaches 64 yards, Toyota Elfa has an A-pillar deformation and a large area of front windshield fragmentation, which is slightly inferior to the quality of the more than 200,000 Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey made in China.

Rigid barrier collision: when the speed reaches 55 yards per hour, the side impact is carried out, this is a Toyota Elfa simulation of the car's low-angle impact position, such a very expensive MPV, but again in the collision test, there are two door depressions, a large degree of indentation, and obvious displacement and deformation of the B-column.

In the Japanese JNCAP test, compared with the Buick GL8 joint venture domestic car, it is found that the B-column collision condition of Buick GL8 in the safety collision test is also a little better than that of Elfa. And the price of the car is only 1/5 of that of Toyota Elfa, and its performance-to-price ratio and configuration even exceed that of Toyota Elfa.

But Buick GL8 was halted early in European and North American markets because of inadequate security. But the same Mazda 8, Mazda 5, Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Great Jet Dragon, this similar size of the 7-seat MPV, can still achieve quite excellent safety collision results, Toyota Elfa price is at least five times that of Honda Odyssey, Dazhe Dragon, but can not match the price security.

The Lexus LM300h, a Japanese luxury nanny car built with Toyota Elfa as the benchmark, also needs to be tested and verified. Toyota Elfa "price increase magic car" the official guiding price of the car starts at 770000 yuan, which is as high as ten times the price gap with the Honda flying degree. The car's terminal in China generally needs a price increase of 400000 yuan, which is comparable to the price of a pure imported high-equipped Mercedes-Benz S400 class. After watching the crash test results of Toyota Elfa, what do netizens think of it? You are welcome to leave your comments for discussion.
