Bitauto News? The Versailles C5 "King", but the glory behind this car is also full of controversy. In addition to driving control and space, many people also want to see the safety performance of the Versailles C5 X. Today it is finally here.
This time we witnessed the first C-NCAP crash test of the Versailles C5
No obvious deformation was observed in the A and B pillars;
The glass of the whole car is not broken;
The four doors and the trunk lid can be opened manually;
p>
The front anti-collision beam and the main beam energy-absorbing box have almost completely collapsed, fully absorbing energy;
The front cabin firewall has not invaded the cockpit, and the occupant's knees have not been squeezed;
All the airbags deployed;
The family members in the rear seats were restrained in place, and the child safety seats in the car did not shift.
Detailed analysis will not be explained here, and we will wait for the official report of China Automotive Research and Development Corporation, but to be honest, just from the performance I saw, it has exceeded my expectations and is better than expected. Because I have seen crash tests of many models before, but it is rare for the Versailles C5 X to perform like this. Especially after the collision, the engineer opened the four doors with bare hands. Opened from the inside, this is surprising enough. Everyone should know that if a collision causes the body frame to deform slightly, the door may not open, but the passenger compartment of the Versailles C5 X is almost invisible to the naked eye.
I have to extend my discussion here about the safety design of the Versailles C5 The entire vehicle uses double-sided galvanized steel plates with a ratio of 96% and high-strength steel ratios of 80%. Both the front and rear anti-collision beams adopt an all-aluminum alloy "Sun"-shaped structure. This is also a rare conscientious material in its class. It can be said that the structure The top is a real "reinforced iron frame" to achieve all-round protection on the front, sides, and tail. *Versailles C5 X body structure diagram
In the event of a frontal collision, the Versailles C5 Safety structures such as floor reinforcement beams greatly reduce injuries to the chest and head of occupants; in the event of a side collision, it has TWB thermoformed B-pillars, 6 reinforced beams including TWB seat beams, and through-shaped roof arc thermoforming reinforcement. The three major safety structures of the board disperse the impact force and protect the integrity of the car body. At the same time, in the face of a car rear collision, TRB's thermoformed upper longitudinal beams and aluminum alloy rear beams of different thicknesses will fully play a safety role.
It is said that the passive safety performance of the Versailles C5 So I also look forward to good results in the follow-up 25 offset collision, side and rear collision tests, especially how the controversial fiberglass trunk lid of the Versailles C5 X will perform in a rear collision, and what the repair cost will be. I think this It's what everyone cares about the most.
Editor’s comment: “Is the Versailles C5 In terms of feelings, your own experience is the most important. But judging from the materials used, the Versailles C5X is worthy of the word "solid". After all, this is a model "made in Chengdu and sold globally", so there should be no need to worry about safety and quality. In fact, French cars have always been talked about in the past for their chassis tuning skills, but this time Citro?n did not choose to break out from the direction it is best at, but led everyone to examine this car from a safety perspective. This point It is commendable that car safety deserves more attention than the so-called "magic carpet suspension".
