Chinese SUV gets 0/5 on crash test

[Isuzoom]

Masyadong advance na talaga ang chinese technology.. Lata ng Maling luncheon meat ginawang SUV..all you need is a can opener to repair the damage.

[pissword]

wag kayo mag alala kung 0/5 yan.. im sure its still better than our jeepney hehe

I dont think local jeepneys are that bad especially the expensive ones..especially here in batangas some of the jeepneys are the price of secondhand 2004 crosswind.Ive seen a jeepney that was going to be repaired because of a head on collision with a toyota revo the steering wheel didnt even move out of alignment.the damage didnt go past the windshield and the front didnt crumple.I guess its because of the hard chassies..

hard chasis does not equate to safety.

hard chasis = ok kotse mo, patay pasahero sa loob hehehe

jianglin landwind! pangalan pa lang sagwa na!! :bwahaha:

[oldblue]

kung mura lang yan meron pa din bibili nyan dito, yun mga walang-pakelam sa safety ng pasahero at drivers mga PUV operators.

Kayo naman, pinaganda lang yung CRUMPLE ZONE!

Panget daw crumple zone design ng ibang country na harap at likod lang, kaya ginawa nila buo pati passenger cabin!

Ay galing naman ng chinese tech. Ano kaya ginamit sa spaceships nila? they already sent a two manned rocket in space within a year. Dont tell me lata na naman ng Maling luncheon meat.

OT: Hindi siguro Maling Luncheon Meat ang rockets nila. Baka reconditioned Russian Rockets yan. Bagong pintura. Malamang pirated mga software diyan sa Mission Control. Joke lang.

[oldblue]

pero maling luncheon meat kaya ang baon nila sa space hehehe

magaling talaga! good workmanship! tibay talaga ng crash test dummies..

[nugundam93]

true. a jeepney vs regular car could be be similar to a brick and softdrink can collision, respectively.

[yellowjip]

it depends on the jeepney manufactuer..there are cheap ones and there are expensive ones...once before going to school i saw a jeep rear end a mitsubishi lancer and man it was like a soda can that was lightly stomped on.the owner type jeeps are very scary..

a jeepney crashing into a corolla or civic will be like a brick falling onto a soda can....

BUT...

a jeepney crashing into a tree or wall will probably see all the occupants injured badly or dead.

take vehicle weight out of the equation (as they do in formal crash testing by crashing the vehicle into a static barrier), and chances are, the jeepney will have piss-poor crash safety characteristics (in terms of injuries sustained by occupants, which is the most important consideration... not vehicle damage). plus, wala ring restraint systems, so pwedeng minor damage lang sa jeep, pero yung ulo ng pasahero, wasak sa manibela or dashboard.

But sometimes a look at a jeep and i imagine if you all seats facing forward and put proper seatbelts and upholsture the inside similer to a van i think it might be a little more safer dont you think?because the main problem with jeeps is its all bare metal no upholstary to cushion impacts..

Another problem would be that these vehicles don't protect the passenger cabin at all.

[yellowjip]

will the chinese company producing the chinese SUV still be able to market them even with piss poor safety standards?

guys, get real. it seems that almost all the replies in this thread are fueled mostly by the stereotype that "Made in China" products are inferior... in other words, that the vehicle performed badly in the offset barrier crash test simply because it's made in china by chinese workers.

as otep has noted, most truck-based SUV's perform poorly in such a demanding test as an offset barrier test (the offset test is of course, much more difficult to pass than the standard full frontal crash test). and also, that an offset barrier test is NOT required in government safety certification for vehicles (not even in the US or Europe)

kahit 1997 Ford F-150 ganyan din yung result sa offset crash test. same with the 1997 Chevy Venture. (to name just two) yung gen2 pajero din ata masagwa din yung result hehe.

I don't think it's a "made in china" issue.
