In the evaluation of vehicle safety, the most concerned thing is to overturn the conclusion of the professional evaluation structure. The Sagitar and Corolla collision test that has stirred up discussions in the entire automotive circle is one of them.
Originally thought that the German brands that successively "failed" in the crash test of the China Insurance Research Institute would not have any dazzling performance, but I did not expect that Sagitar stood up again on behalf of the German brand and built it in the media. "Completely defeated Corolla" on the stage, it was obvious that all of this was too sci-fi. But this is really the case? In fact, there are many articles in it.
First of all, the general doubts from netizens focused on the choice of models. The two cars used in the collision this time are Toyota's 2021 1.2T S-CVT Pioneer Corolla, with a guide price of 119,800; the 2021 200TSI DSG Comfortable Smart-linked Volkswagen Sagitar, with a guide price of 150,900. Among them, the Sagitar is a mid-range model with a 25% enhanced version, and the Corolla is a low-profile model. The price difference between the two models is 30,000 yuan.
The organizer explained this because it was unable to buy a low-profile Sagitar, but in the final review, they did not mention the difference in length between the two cars by 118mm, and the difference in curb weight by 45kg, and did not explain the difference. What is the possible impact. As media practitioners, they did not "justify themselves" and echo the whole story. They seem to want to downplay this problem.
can be regarded as "slightly imprecise" for the time being, but in addition to the above reasons, there are many key points that are not so natural. The most obvious is the "double standard" attitude brought out in just a few words. For example, after two cars collided, the dual flash was turned on at the same time, but in the video analysis, the organizer only specifically mentioned "Volkswagen dual flash is turned on", and did not mention Corolla's dual flash status.
In addition, it is obvious that the Corolla’s rear seats are normally placed while the Sagitar’s rear seats are down in a four-to-six ratio. Looking at this detail alone is nothing, but please note that in the final analysis, the host specifically emphasized that the Corolla's rear seat fell off, which may cause damage to the people in the car. This is the problem. Even the most basic seat settings can't be unified. Why do we need to compare this item?
is even more intolerable,Obviously it is a "competition" between the Corolla and Sagitar. In the summary part, the host's original words have become "TNGA collided with MQB and lost to MQB". What does this mean?
The results of professional testing institutions in the past have long proved that structural improvements or replacement of materials can increase vehicle safety in a short period of time. Although it seems that the collision test that is about to evolve into an "open-book exam" and test-oriented education is not so glorious, improving performance has long become a "you can do it if you want" thing, and there is no direct relationship with the platform architecture. Implicated.
And one interesting thing is that at the end of last year, the return of China Insurance Research Institute conducted a crash test for Passat. This time the model achieved excellent results, which is very different from the first result, but netizens did not Do not buy it, but also questioned that China Insurance Research is not fair enough.
Let's think about it, what problem does this so-called world's first crash test want to prove? Is it Japanese? Or is the German system more "smart"?
