AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/02 Report--
When it comes to the Volvo brand, I believe everyone will call it safe, and there is a saying to describe the owners who choose the Volvo brand, not because it is luxurious, but because it is safe and reliable. and has the title of "0 deaths in 3600 accidents". But in the latest batch of models announced by C-ASI, the Volvo XC60 got a P (poor).
According to the data released by the China Insurance Research Institute (C-ASI), XC60 in the four tests, crashworthiness and maintenance economy index, car member safety index. The performance of G (excellent) was obtained in both the pedestrian safety index and the vehicle safety index. Only the first crashworthiness and maintenance economy index got P (bad evaluation).
The crashworthiness and maintenance economy index refers to the front-end and rear-end collision tests in the 15km/h. XC60 did well in 64km/h crash tests, so why did he get poor performance at low speed?
It turned out that the model was too "safe". According to the information provided by the China Insurance Research website, the Volvo XC60 took the speed as the low speed of the 15km/h. After hitting an obstacle, the airbag detonated, the beam, the front bumper, headlights, bonnet and other parts were damaged. The maintenance ratio is as high as 31.2, which is equivalent to such a collision, the maintenance cost of the model will reach the new car 1x3, and the maintenance cost will exceed 120000 yuan based on the official guide price of 391900 yuan for the test model.
If we can afford to buy this car, there is no shortage of money, not to mention that an insurance company will make a loss. Besides, many cars do not see airbags eject in serious damage, which should not explain the safety of Volvo.
The purpose of the airbag is to minimize the accident rate of the car members because of inertia when driving at high speed, and according to the actual XC60 collision test chart, only in the 15km/h low-speed collision, XC60 exposed three airbags, which will also endanger the safety of the front row members of the car. According to official data, the airbag expands at a speed of 72km/h, while professional boxers hit at a speed of about 36km/h, so you can imagine the impact of the airbag.
A few days ago, a woman in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, suffered a self-explosion of an airbag while driving, scratching her carotid artery in critical condition. The news said that the airbag popped up while driving, and the female driver was cut to the neck by an accessory. Due to serious injuries, she was taken to hospital for treatment.
Of course, the safety of the Volvo brand is commendable, for example, excellent performance in other areas, but if the collision at low speed is also Volvo's safety law, it can only be said that its safety is not very safe.
