Don't hit BYD when driving, don't bully Citroen when cornering? Is BYD really a "road tank"?

Don't hit BYD when driving, and don't bully Citroen when cornering. This sentence is a classic joke circulating on the Internet. Why can't I call BYD? Because BYD's cars are too hard and are called "road tanks" by many people, are all BYD models safe?

I have to say that BYD's performance in low-speed collision is really good. There are many cases on the internet, which are talked about by many netizens, such as this? The picture of BYD S6 hitting the wall shows that the wall is cracked, but S6 is not damaged. I'll take you away without the help of the wall.

And this picture of a collision with Mercedes. The front face of Mercedes-Benz is unrecognizable, BYD is only slightly injured, and the hood bounces up but it is not serious.

There is also this picture of BYD jacking up the truck, which is crazy on the Internet. Many people say BYD is too hard.

Seeing this scene in the picture, I can only say, cherish your car and stay away from BYD! Really can't afford to hurt!

Do these pictures really show that BYD is safe? Let's take a look at BYD's materials first. The anti-collision beam of the previous generation of Tang dynasty was rolled steel plate, and the thickness of the steel plate was about1.6 mm. In fact, it was not prominent simply from the thickness and length of the anti-collision beam, but why was Tang so anti-collision Because the anti-collision beam of BYD Tang is directly connected to the longitudinal beam of the car body, this is the origin of BYD Tang highway tank. This structure is rare. Generally, an energy-absorbing box is placed behind the anti-collision beam to reduce the loss of the car body. Although this structure will be dominant in low-speed collision, if the speed is fast, it will easily lead to deformation of the longitudinal beam. For a simple example, the energy-absorbing box is like the soft tissue between our bones, which plays a role in connecting and buffering. Without this soft tissue, although the bone looks tough, it will directly rub and collide, causing fractures.

It should also be noted that the economy of low-speed collision and the safety of high-speed collision are not the same thing. It is the frame, buffer zone and airbag that really play a role in high-speed collision, not the wagon and collision beam, just as ancient leather armor can resist bows and arrows, but it can't resist bullets. This is not to say that BYD's high-speed collision safety is not good, but to remind everyone that safety cannot be judged by the pictures of low-speed collisions. Volkswagen also claimed that the steel plate was thick and strong, and everyone saw it.

We need to treat BYD's safety objectively and rationally. BYD Tang has passed the test of China Insurance Research Institute, with good collision safety and excellent occupant protection score G; Pedestrian protection is excellent for g; Safety assistance is excellent for g.

But BYD Song MAX gained crashworthiness and maintenance economy (P). The embarrassing crash performance of passenger (P) in the car is at the same embarrassing level as that of Baojun 5 10, making it the two vehicles with the worst crash performance in the two batches before and after China Insurance Research. Many people think that MPV is just unsafe, but. Look at the achievements of Honda Odyssey and Toyota Siena in IIHS, which shows that the body performance of MPV can be safe, and the key depends on the cost consideration of manufacturers.

BYD is a hard-to-say brand in China. As long as you point out the minor shortcomings of this brand, even if it is an objective fact, it will be attacked by many fans. What we want to emphasize is that this paper holds that BYD has good and bad safety models, but generally speaking, it is more conscientious than Volkswagen and Honda in terms of safety, and the damage of low-speed collision does not mean the safety of high-speed collision. Everyone needs to be rational. Whether BYD is a road tank or not, drivers should obey the traffic rules and enhance their safety awareness. Your life is ultimately in your own hands.
