019 and 2020 were two years when " China Insurance Research and Research " made many auto companies frightened. "XXX failed to China Insurance Research and Research" also became a major topic for many media at that time.
The model that is famous for its collision test is believed to be remembered by everyone, especially some new cars also like to be called "Fighting the Five Scrats".
Perhaps it is the China Insurance Research Institute's mirror that makes the new cars in the future "arm" themselves. Therefore, no big thunder broke out in the test in the past two years. After all, the lessons of Passat are shaky in front of you. Who dares to be so stupid?
However, car companies seem to be not satisfied with the "unusual" tests of C-NCAP, China Insurance Research and other institutions, so they thought of sending their new cars to do "fancy" tests.
In the past, car companies were eager to test institutions not target their new cars, but now they take the initiative to "seek abuse", which is interesting!
spiral rolling, three-car collisions, and tail collisions and rolling superimposedly. How many new postures are there?
Recently, Ora Lightning Cat carried out a "high-speed spiral rolling and falling" challenge, and has attracted widespread attention from industry insiders. The challenge process of
is roughly as follows: a robot drives an Ora Lightning Cat, rushes onto single-sided bridge at a speed of 60km/h, and then rolls and falls into a rammed earth hardening pit with a depth of 1.8 meters.
It should be noted that this Ora Lightning Cat has a side flip of 540 degrees, and the maximum drop between the air and the ground is more than 6 meters, and it rolls for 5 laps after falling. After the challenge, the crew cabin remained well, the airbag was opened normally, and the power battery was powered off and no spontaneous combustion occurred. The seat belt pretension function, emergency rescue function, etc. were triggered normally.
People with driving experience should know that the test of the Ora Lightning Cat simulates the possible situation of vehicles rushing out of the road, rolling and falling during daily driving. This impact on the vehicle and the damage to passengers are basically doubled. Another point that needs to be noted is that the Ora Lightning Cat is a pure electric vehicle model with the power battery at the bottom of the vehicle. This center of gravity layout means that when the vehicle rolls and falls, it will test the A, B, and C pillars of the vehicle even more.
For pure electric models, when the vehicle rolls, the power battery may also catch fire due to being squeezed and punctured, so the Ora Lightning Cat faces a double challenge. However, judging from the results, the safety of the Ora Lightning Cat is indeed excellent.
is a unique coincidence. Not long ago, FAW Hongqi also joined hands with China Automobile Center to hold a " three-car consecutive collision" challenge. The participating vehicle model is Hongqi H5.
The so-called three-vehicle collision simulates the situation where the third car rear-ends again after two cars collided on the road. It is more complicated and more unexpected situations than ordinary accidents. The test process of
is roughly: two red flags collided at a relative speed of 100km/h, and the third red flags H5 rear-end at a speed of 50km/h. After the challenge of
, the performance of the three Hongqi H5s was satisfactory: the crew cabin was kept intact, the airbags were detonated smoothly, the door could be opened smoothly after the collision, and the dummy in the car suffered little damage. The achievements of
Hongqi H5 are inseparable from its excellent active and passive safety. high-strength steel and multiple airbags are one of its important confidence in responding to challenges. There are many similar "increase" collision tests, such as
. For example, the new car Lynk & Co 09, which is quite popular this year, also conducted a "tail collision superimposed continuous roll" test.
The same Lynk & Co 09 will first perform a 70% overlap rate rear-end test at a speed of 85km/h, and then superimpose a continuous rolling test of 60km/h, without giving the vehicle a chance to breathe.
In the end, Lynk & Co 09 achieved a full-time evaluation, and all performances met the standards.
号 Brother Jar believes that the above three examples will become the tip of the iceberg in the long river of "fancy collisions", and more complex "poses" will be born in the future.
New trick of "killing two birds with one stone"?
There is no doubt that for such "fancy collisions", cleverly combines security publicity and voice creation, and is a relatively novel move.
In terms of automotive safety, if a car company simply describes how many airbags are equipped, how many megapas high-strength steel are used, and how many safety configurations are equipped, it will not be so intuitive.
On the contrary, if you do a difficult safety test, it will be clear whether a new car is safe or not. Sometimes all consumers want is the result and answer, and they don’t care much about parameters.
Give a inappropriate example. You should tell the car that a car has good power and it is useless to say that horsepower and torque are useless, but if you just say "This car can chase high-speed rail", he will immediately give him a thumbs up and say NB.
. In addition to proving that the vehicle is safe, this kind of "fancy collision" also satisfyes everyone's curiosity and freshness. The popularity of new cars has also increased, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Many people may not have noticed that whether it is the high-speed spiral rolling and falling of Ora Lightning Cat, the three-car collision of Hongqi , or the tail collision of Lynk & Co 09, they are all officially named "the first time in China" .
Ask yourself, when you see pictures or videos with the words "first time in China", will you not help but click in?
For the increasingly popular fancy collision challenges, Brother Gang also consulted a friend who worked in a brand owner factory and asked him how he viewed this phenomenon.
He replied: "It is indeed a relatively advanced gameplay when playing the collision test, but it is difficult to operate. First of all, there must be this cost. Just a dummy in the collision test is very expensive. In addition, the operation must strictly follow the relevant test standards, so basically, authoritative institutions must implement it together."
" Another thing, after the test is completed, you may not necessarily receive the desired results. Now some media and netizens like to set the pace, saying that car companies are doing these things, and they use special models to participate in the test, so some mainstream car companies are still cautious and do not do this. "
号 Brother believes that car companies dare to take the initiative to let vehicles participate in safety challenges, which is essentially because they have confidence in their own products. On the premise of strictly following the standards and not playing tricks on the vehicle, it is not a problem to let consumers know that the safety of the vehicle is excellent.
Based on the entire automotive industry, a number of new cars have made significant progress from fearing 25% bias collisions on the front to actively challenging difficulties today.
Automobile safety testing competition, be careful to be "gotten by the evil spirit"
As the inversion of the automobile industry intensifies, many car companies have a sense of unyielding spirit and are unable to stand their opponents' limelight overshadow themselves.
is like a car screen, from a single screen to a dual screen, triple screen, and then to a giant screen that runs across the entire center console, as well as 7 and 9 screens in the whole car...
The "screen battle" was out of control, and the moves promoted by car companies are also strange. Even some car companies have begun to reflect: Is the bigger the screen in the car, the better, and the more the better?
The fancy test of automobile safety is still in a relatively good and positive stage at present, and Brother Gang is worried that car companies will rack their brains to play tricks because of the unyielding spirit.
In this way, not only will this type of test challenge taste change, but consumers will gradually become tired until they feel boring.
In addition, once this type of test does not strictly implement the standards and is not sure about the degree, things may go against your wishes, and eventually you will fall into a public opinion storm and attract bad luck to the brand.

This incident caused a lot of sensation at the time, and even CCTV reported it, but some netizens called "WC" not long after they shouted, and another part of them raised doubts.
Questions include why the airbag was not opened after the vehicle fell to the ground? Why are the dummies in the car so "amateur"? Do such tests have quantitative standards and reference significance? etc.
Helicopter crash vehicle test has indeed proved to a certain extent that the body of the Pentium X40 is "hard enough", but more and more people know and are serious about cars. If you do not pay attention to details during the test, it may be counterproductive.
Of course, real gold is not afraid of fire, it doesn’t matter if you are more high-profile when promoting it, but once a car company decides to conduct such fancy tests, it must be prepared to accept doubts from all walks of life and be prepared that things may go against their wishes.
Security is an eternal topic
In recent years, whether it is new car companies or traditional car companies, the speed of launching new cars is very fast, and new car promotion products are becoming more and more highlights.
is not a joke. Any new force product is taken out, and the highlights are densely written on paper. It is difficult for car reviewers to "recite the full text" to increase.
We may need to reflect on one thing. It seems that everyone is paying more and more attention to the safety of the car's seats, screens, intelligent assisted driving, battery life, etc., but not much attention to the safety of the new car.
Once the overlord of medium and large SUVs Ideal ONE , users are very familiar with its intelligent technology configuration and its voice control function, but according to Brother Gang, many Ideal ONE owners do not know how many airbags their car is equipped with and how much steel they have used.
There is no point in saying that ideal ONE has poor security. Brother Gang just wants to use such a phenomenal product to explain the problem.
It is understandable that those models with monthly sales of over 10,000 yuan, especially new energy models, always have a magic that makes people feel excited and pay for it without saying a word.
Entering the new energy era. If you only care about how many screens it has, how long it lasts, and what chip it is equipped with before buying a car, then I advise you to calm down and do more homework.
Finally, we should look at the fancy test of automobile safety, and remember to maintain our independent thinking ability when following the crowd.
