When it comes to side sliding doors, I believe many friends will think of vans, and side sliding doors have fully endorsed vans. However, side sliding doors are not unique to vans, and can be seen on many station wagons. The biggest advantage of side sliding doors is that they can save space. They must be used in narrow parking lots. The current mainstream car doors can easily scratch other vehicles. Even if the door is barely opened, it will seriously affect the passenger's getting in and out. However, side sliding doors There are no such problems.
Most of the current side sliding doors use electric side sliding doors, so they are very simple to operate, in addition to ensuring space. The safety factor of side sliding doors is relatively higher than the current mainstream bi-fold doors. You have never seen or heard of it. The moment the vehicle opens the door, the electric vehicle, motorcycle or bicycle behind it directly hits the door. This kind of accident is not unique. Side sliding doors have so many advantages, why are they abandoned by so many manufacturers?
The first is the cost of side sliding doors. Side sliding doors require guide rails, electric control systems, etc. The cost of side sliding doors is several times higher than the current double doors. The increase in production costs is bound to increase. Affects vehicle maintenance costs. As a result, the vehicle purchase cost and vehicle maintenance costs increase at the same time, which greatly reduces the acceptance of mobility scooters purchased by ordinary families.
The second issue is the production process. At present, side sliding doors are generally used in vans and station wagons, and these two types of vehicles are basically rectangular. The use of side sliding doors will not look very obtrusive. However, current sedans and SUV models have various streamlined shapes, which will increase a lot of difficulty in design.
Then there is the technical issue of side sliding doors. At present, the core technology of side sliding doors is monopolized by some joint ventures and foreign brands. At present, many domestic car companies are basically in the blank, so it requires relatively high research and development costs and Manufacturing costs.
Finally, the repair of the side sliding door is relatively complicated. Due to the layout of the side sliding door, if the side sliding door fails and needs repair, the third row of glass may be removed, and some models The glass in the third row cannot be removed, and the only way is to break it, which is unacceptable to many car owners.
The advantages of side-sliding doors are very obvious, but there are also many problems with side-sliding doors. Compared with the design and manufacturing costs of side-sliding doors, the care and maintenance of side-sliding doors are relatively troublesome and cost-prohibitive. High, these are the reasons why side sliding doors are difficult to popularize. In foreign countries, even some small cars and SUVs use side sliding doors, but they have not been popularized in China.
However, with the advancement of automobile production technology, problems such as cost and maintenance will also be solved. After these problems are solved, I believe many models will adopt this design. After all, side sliding doors have significant advantages. , as well as higher security. Of course, this also requires the Chinese people's acceptance of this. After all, many people think that side sliding doors are a transfer of vans, and the Chinese people's acceptance of vans is still relatively low.
