According to netizens, today's Weifang Lutai auto show occurred in an emergency, BYD booth a car smoke accident.

Judging from the nameplate, the car is a fuel version of BYD Song MAX. The video shows smoke in the engine cabin of the car, but there is no open fire, and the staff of the booth are trying to find out the cause of the smoke.

Data show that the 14th China Weifang Lutai International Auto Show 2019 officially opened on September 12, which means that BYD's new car had an unexpected situation on the first day of its launch, but fortunately it was found in time without serious consequences.

Netizens teased that this is the brand's new function, automatic smoke! Some netizens think that the quality is worrying.

Of course, the smoke accident may be an accident, but it is laughable to show it in this way at the auto show.

BYD Song MAX is also a model with poor collision performance of the brand. Under the evaluation of China Insurance Automobile Safety Index (CIASI), BYD Song MAX got a poor rating in both frontal 25% offset collision and side collision, and the B-pillar was broken, and the overall evaluation was "poor".

The velocity of the side impact is 50km/h. As a result, we can see that the side of Song MAX is seriously deformed and the position offset of the front and rear door is large, which is mainly due to the failure of the B-column to withstand the velocity impact of 50km. CIASI commented in the report: "the distance between the B-pillar and the center line of the driver's seat is 1cm, and the bottom of the B-column is completely torn."

In the frontal 25% offset collision, Song MAX was also rated as P (poor), which was mainly reflected in the large amount of invasion in the upper part of the passenger cabin and the opening of the door in the collision. From the result diagram, the A-column has been bent and deformed.

However, BYD Song MAX's sales are not bad, with sales of 44668 units from January to July this year.
