China's car ownership has reached 315 million, exceeding the 280 million in the United States, which also means that China has become the world's largest car ownership country. With the rapid increase in the number of cars, the position of car safety in consumers' minds has become higher and higher, and has even become a key factor in car purchase. Not long ago, although the joint venture model represented by Passat and English-Stylish School achieved good results in C-NCAP, it "missed" in the more stringent China Insurance Research Institute test. The tragic situation of A column fracture and dummy headshot caused by the reduction of high-strength steel is even more shocking, and the sales of several models involved have also plummeted.
In the past, people may have had the inherent perception that German cars are safer than Japanese cars and joint venture cars are safer than domestic cars, but the tests of China Insurance Research Institute have to make people begin to re-examine the standards of car safety. As a representative of the new high-end mid-size cars in China, the new generation of Hongqi H5 has performed well in all aspects of product strength, especially its "national car safety". Hongqi H5 and China Automobile Center have conducted a number of rigorous working conditions for active and passive safety. Let’s see how its safety performance is:
is first passive safety. The new Hongqi H5 adopts a new generation of safety body of 9H4M "Sturdy Armor". The 4M structure can improve impact resistance by 30%, ensuring that the occupants’ living space is indestructible. The vehicle uses a full-dimensional structural protection system, with an application proportion of advanced high-strength steel plates of 68%, and a maximum strength of 2000Mpa, which is nearly 20% higher than the previous generation of models, far exceeding the joint venture competitors of the same level and reaching the world's leading level. The new Hongqi H5 is equipped with 9 airbags, including knee airbags and 6s pressure-retaining side air curtains, and a dual-stage early warning seat belt unique to the same level.
has such an excellent passive security system, and its actual combat performance is naturally worth looking forward to. FAW Hongqi conducted a public test of the "new Hongqi H5 domestic first battle with three vehicles" in China Automobile Center . The challenge of extremely harsh working conditions is also the first time in China to simulate the extreme and complex emergencies that may be encountered in real traffic road scenarios. The first two cars rear-end the second car after the collision. The deep simulation of this test restored the extremely dangerous traffic accident at a relative speed of 100km/h. The first two cars encountered a 100% collision at a relative speed of 100km/h, and the third car rear-ends the second car at a speed of 50km/h. The three cars collided in their own moving state, with more uncertain factors, which put forward higher requirements on the body structure and constraint system protection.
Faced with such a harsh collision challenge, the new generation of Hongqi H5 has achieved very excellent results. The airbag exploded smoothly at the moment of the collision, the seat belt was pre-tightened and the seat belt showed good reliability. After the collision test is completed, the passenger compartment of the three test vehicles is complete, and the passenger living space is guaranteed. The door can also be opened smoothly after the collision to ensure that the driver and passengers in the car can leave smoothly after the accident. No fuel leakage occurred after the collision, and the comprehensive score rate of the damage value of the three-car dummy exceeded 90%, which is enough to show the reliability of "national car safety".
passive security is so excellent, and active security is naturally unambiguous. The new generation of Hongqi H5 is equipped with an intelligent networking system, covering seven scenarios: food, clothing, housing, transportation, listening, paying and paying. Combined with intelligent voice recognition, it can realize intelligent voice control in all vehicles and all scenarios. The OTA capability of the whole vehicle covers 6 major systems, supports FOTA solid-state upgrades, and can enjoy the stepless evolutionary functional experience with 5G chips. At the same time, the vehicle can self-diagnose faults and problems and upload them automatically, making it more secure to use the car. The appearance of
front and rear reversing radar and high-definition 360° panoramic images can greatly reduce the chance of scratches during parking. The camera and radar have higher accuracy and longer detection distances. The H5 is also equipped with automatic parking function, with long hardware detection distance and high parking space recognition rate. It is better to understand the Chinese parking environment and can perfectly adapt to complex parking scenarios.
Generally speaking, the ACCh adaptive cruiser of the joint venture mid-sized car is also a rare advanced driving assistance configuration. The new generation of Hongqi H5 is taken to the next level and is equipped with the SACC advanced cruise that is first launched at the same level. It can automatically change lanes, accelerate, decelerate, and follow the car in the speed range of 0~150km/h according to the driving status of the car in front, and automatically follow within 3 seconds of driving away from the car in front. Under the extreme challenge, the advanced cruising function of H5 is turned on in the tunnel of bumpy road surface, and horizontal overlap tests are carried out to challenge the cruising ability of the bicycle and the target vehicle to be not on the same axis. The overlap between the test vehicle and the target vehicle is less than 50%, which can achieve stable cruising. While reducing driver fatigue, safety is also worthy of recognition.
As an important part of the driving assistance system, the AEB active braking function is also a highlight of the new generation of Hongqi H5. When the overlap with the target vehicle is less than 50%, the new H5 drives at a speed of 60km/h in the tunnel. After leaving the tunnel, it is equipped with a blocked balloon car. H5 can trigger emergency braking as soon as it encounters obstacles, stop in time, and use AEB to ensure vehicle safety to the greatest extent.
Overall, compared with some joint venture car companies that have no bottom line to reduce the distribution of safety systems for profits, the Hongqi H5 made in China has maintained the dignity of "national car safety" with the strength of active safety and passive safety. I believe it can still handle it freely when facing the China Insurance Research Institute test. The rock-solid safety performance of the new generation of Hongqi H5 sets a "safety benchmark" for mid-sized cars and provides an important reference for promoting the improvement of safety protection standards for independent brand cars. It will bring the safety level of future automobile travel to a new height, which is worthy of being the pride of Chinese manufacturing.
