Passat is a front-wheel drive car driven by water cooling. "passat" originally means the name of a monsoon, which blows evenly and steadily from the southern Atlantic Ocean to the equator every year, persisting and persistent. Like its name, almost all passat’s water-drop shape makes people feel unparalleled fluency. Since it was first marketed in 1974, it has achieved great success in Europe. The brand-new Passat produced in 1999 is even more popular in the world. After six generations of development, the global sales volume has reached 11.3 million. Let’s take you back to the glorious history of Passat series.

　　The first generation Passat: Dasher(1973 ~1980)

　　
Passat Dasher

　

　　In 1973, the first generation Passat: Dasher was born, which replaced the original 1600 series and landed in North America. At that time, the highest-end model was called Passat TS, which was equipped with a 1.5-liter 85-horsepower four-cylinder engine and adopted a front-wheel drive mode. 0-100 km/h takes only 12 seconds, the top speed can reach 169 km/h, and 4.55 liters of oil can travel 38 kilometers, which was considered fuel-efficient at that time.

　　In the autumn of 1977, Dasher introduced a big change, especially the valve seat of the engine was strengthened, so that it could use unleaded gasoline fuel.

　　Passat B2.Quantum/Santana (1980 ~1988)

Passat B2:Santana

　

　　In 1980, the second-generation Passat B2.Quantum/Santana replaced Dasher, which was longer, wider and had more interior space than the previous generation. There are four engines to choose from, including a 1.6-liter diesel engine, 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines, and a top-class 115-horsepower five-cylinder engine.

　　In China, the cars produced became the main models in the early China automobile market.

　　Passat B3 (1988 ~1995)

Passat B3

　　In 1988, Volkswagen introduced the third generation Passat (B3) to the world. There is no front air intake grille, which is the most prominent feature in its appearance. Passat B3 is equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve engine, with 134 horsepower and 180 Nm of torque. It takes nearly 10 seconds for 0-100 km/h, and the top speed can reach 201 km/h.. Although B3 has some unique configurations, such as adjustable rear seats, compared with its Japanese and American rivals, its sales volume is still unsatisfactory.

　　In 1991, Volkswagen’s first Passat equipped with V6 engine rolled off the assembly line. A maximum of 172 horsepower can accelerate B3 from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 8 seconds.

　　In 1996, Shanghai Volkswagen and Brazil Volkswagen jointly developed Santana 2000 based on B3 and Santana 3000 developed by Shanghai Volkswagen on the basis of Santana 2000.

　　Passat B4 (1995 ~1996)

　　

Passat B4

　

　　In 1995, Volkswagen redesigned Passat and introduced Passat B4 series. Standard configuration includes a 2.0-liter 8-valve four-cylinder engine. The GLX model still uses a 2.8-liter engine. The former takes about 10 seconds to accelerate at 0-100 km/h, while the latter can be completed in 8 seconds. Another surprise is that B4 installed seat belts for drivers and passengers in the front row. But also restores the sense of movement. The standard configuration of B4 includes: power window, locking mechanism, electric heating rearview mirror, FM/AM cassette player, 8 speakers and CFC air conditioner.

　　Passat B4 was briefly produced by, and Chinese people basically became familiar with Passat series from this car.

　　Passat B5(1996 ~2005)

Passat B5

　　Passat B5′ s basic GLS is powered by a 1.8-liter engine. Soon Volkswagen introduced GLX and GLS V6 models that matched the 30-valve V6 engine. B5 uses the same platform technology as A6, and even the engine shares 1.8T I4 and V6 30V models with Audi. The front suspension adopts multi-link mode, and the rear suspension uses torsion beam, which effectively reduces. B5 standard configuration includes driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, power windows, electric rearview mirrors, FM/AM cassette player, 8 speakers and CFC air conditioner. , electrically heated seat, 5-speed Tiptronic is optional. Volkswagen’s unique four-wheel drive technology has been adopted in GLX and GLS V6 models matching V6 30 valve engines.

　

　　In 1999, Volkswagen introduced Passat with red and blue background lights. It used a 1.8-liter engine with a 5-speed transmission, which was powerful and could produce 190-200 horsepower at most.

　　In 2000, Passat B5 produced by Shanghai Volkswagen was officially put into China market, which was newly developed according to China’s laws and regulations, road conditions and China users’ aesthetic tendency and use requirements. The prototype B5 was lengthened by 77mm, and its spacious figure made Passat more suitable for the domestic commercial vehicle market. Become a high-end product in domestic cars. And in 2006-2007, B5 was further improved, and some unnecessary configurations were subtracted while it was deeply localized, and this time it was transformed into B5 FMK internally. Shanghai Volkswagen greatly improved Passat B5 and adopted an alias: Lingyu. It is also nicknamed Passat B5.5. The internal name of Volkswagen is B5GP. Later, in order to meet the requirements of CNCAP, the seat belt configuration was specially optimized. The front co-pilot added a seat belt reminder function, and both the main co-pilot and the co-pilot provided the passenger perception function and used it as the input to confirm the airbag explosion together with the seat belt wearing signal. Now the new field of Shanghai Volkswagen PASSAT is also a derivative model based on this platform.

　　Passat B6 (2005 ~2011)

　　In 2005, Passat B6 was put on the market, and Volkswagen changed Passat’s sedate modeling concept since ancient times, and appropriately added sports elements. In 2006, Passat B6 was officially listed overseas. The production of FAW-Volkswagen in China is called Magotan. In 2007, China version of Passat B6— — Magotan is put on the market.

　　
Passat B6

　

　　B6 Passat B6 has almost and considerable spacious interior space. The overall dimensions of the new Passat B6 are appropriately increased compared with the old B5, with a length of 4.77m, a width of 1.82m and a height of 1.47m, which are 62mm, 74mm and 10mm more than the previous Passat models respectively. Its wheelbase is 2.71 meters, which is 6 mm longer than the previous one. The trunk volume is 565 liters (90 liters more than the previous paragraph). The body stiffness is 57% higher than that of its predecessor.

　　In terms of power, gasoline engine: an entry-level four-cylinder FSI engine with output power of 85kW, 110kW or 147kW. Another 3.2-liter V6 FSI engine has a maximum output of 184kW/250PS. Diesel engine: the output power reaches 77kw/105PS, 103kW/140PS or 125kW/170PS. Particulate filter will be gradually introduced into diesel engine models. Gasoline engine models can be equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, while two more powerful gasoline engine models are assembled. 4MOTION four-wheel drive technology will also be adopted in future models. The domestic version uses 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines.

　　Passat B7 (available since B7(2011)　　

Passat B7

　

　　Volkswagen’s new generation Passat (Passat B7) will officially land in the China market in July 2011. The body of the new Passat B7 will be redesigned, but some designs of the current models will still be used to reduce the manufacturing cost, such as the shape of the roof. In order to ensure the status of high-end models, the new Passat B7 is expected to be equipped with reversing images, adaptive cruise control and induction headlights.

　　In terms of power, Passat B7 will have a variety of gasoline or diesel engines with a displacement of 1.2-2.0L, including 1.2TSI, 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, 2.0TSI and 3.2V6, etc. The maximum output of 1.2TSI engine is 105 horsepower, which will replace 1.6L engine. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the only large-displacement engine, 3.2V6, may disappear from Passat models in the future, and the all-electric version will come out around 2015.

　　"This bearing requirements are high. Look at the drawings, the design error here is only allowed to be 0.02 mm, so pay special attention. " At 8: 30 in the morning, Ma Jianjun exchanged technical research points with his disciples. Ma Jianjun is a key member of the machine tool performance laboratory of Baoji Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. in Baoji High-tech Zone, Shaanxi Province. He has participated in the development and trial production of key new products and more than 30 major national special tasks, achieved more than 20 technological innovations, and successfully completed more than 50 major special machine tool commissioning, debugging and after-sales service tasks.

　　Ma Jianjun graduated from Baoji Technical School. In July 1994, he came to the machining workshop of Baoji Machine Tool Factory and became an ordinary lathe operator. With only a degree of Chinese technical education, he suddenly felt unprecedented pressure in the face of high-precision processing equipment.

　　"I just want to learn the technology well, study with the master during the day and go home for self-study at night." Technology, programming, electricity and cutting tools are the keys to the machining technology of CNC machine tools. Ma Jianjun uses his good foundation in turning technology to learn by doing and learn by doing. When he meets problems he doesn’t understand, he asks the master and inspectors, and takes time to check the information and take notes at night. After a few years, he wrote down more than 10 study notes and applied them to well-known CNC systems freely. Ma Jianjun once won the title of "Excellent Player" in the "Qinchuan Cup" first skill competition for employees of state-owned enterprises in Shaanxi Province, and participated in many national, provincial and municipal vocational skills competitions as a referee or technical director. Since 2010, he has been awarded the "lathe technology demonstration post" by the group company, and in 2015, he became the backbone member of Tian Haorong’s national skill master (model worker innovation) studio.

　　In 2012, during his four-month equipment technical service for a company in Wuxi, he overcame difficulties, fulfilled his duties dutifully, and successfully completed the assignment abroad. In recent years, the company has successively ordered more than 100 machine tools from the company.

　　In 2015, the key contract delivery of a company in Chongqing was just around the corner. Due to the tight time and high technical requirements, the company leaders are very anxious. Ma Jianjun took the initiative to take this "hard bone." He "nailed" the user’s trial production site for more than ten hours in a row, worked overtime to carefully study and ponder over each equipment, compiled the processing route program diagram, made corresponding fixtures and configured appropriate tools, and finally completed the dispatching and commissioning tasks of 14 CNC machine tools.

　　Since 2014, Ma Jianjun has participated in a number of major national R&D and trial-production tasks for high-end CNC machine tools. Especially during the national major special research project and working in the machine tool performance laboratory, he was processing BTGS12 spindle, pull rod and ON— When processing parts with high precision coefficient and small tolerance range, such as rollers and D-rings in 3VII, with superb business skills, the processed parts exceeded the precision required by the drawing process and successfully completed the production task.

　　In addition, Ma Jianjun cooperated with the research group to overcome a number of technical difficulties and broke through a large number of key processing technologies of CNC machine tools. In undertaking the R&D and production of BM63150C precision CNC lathe project, he boldly innovated, optimized the oil return structure at the back end of the machine tool spindle, and eliminated the weak links that affected the reliability of the machine tool; Through numerous groping, adjusting cutting parameters and workpiece clamping methods, the hard turning process test was finally completed, and the product won the "Chun Yan Prize" in cmtba. He also successfully solved the key new product BMC— The technical problem of machining the parts of the clamping sleeve in the center of 500TV five-axis compound milling machine makes the company’s first five-axis CNC machine tool enter the high-end market.

　　Ma Jianjun has more than two suggestions for minor reform and process improvement every year, and has completed more than 30 key technical projects with studio members. In 2016, his studio passed the acceptance of the national skill master studio, and won the award of "All-China Workers’ Innovation Studio Key Project Fund". Advanced practices and experiences were promoted and exchanged in Shaanxi Province, realizing the transition from ordinary operating workers to knowledge workers, and then growing into expert talents in the new era.

In terms of power, the new car offers pure electric and extended range versions, with air suspension and CDC as standard.

Ghost Fighting Car View: The above four medium and large SUVs are all made by domestic manufacturers, and they have their own characteristics in design, configuration, space and performance. They are all competent in urban transportation, camping and go on road trip, and deserve more attention from consumers.

On February 9, the Federation announced the express report of retail sales ranking in January 2023, among which in the new energy SUV sector,M7, an AITO field created by Huawei and Celeste, did not enter the top 15..

Look at the specific situation:The first place is still BYD Song, which sold 49,000 units in January., an increase of 139.9% year-on-year, and there is no opponent at the same level.

The second place is still from BYD.It is the first SUV model element PLUS of e platform 3.0.In January, it sold 14,000 units, up 617.1% year-on-year. At the same time, it is also a global model and has been registered in many overseas countries and regions, named ATTO 3.

The third place is Tesla Model Y, which sold 14,000 units in January. Compared with the same period of last year, the sales volume decreased by 13.3%, but it is still quite capable of playing; BYD Tang followed closely, ranking fourth, and sold 8,542 units in January, which was not bad compared with last January.

The fifth and sixth places are from the ideal L9 and L8, with sales of 7996 and 6099 sets respectively.I have to say that although the price is not cheap, it is really good for the big six family SUV brothers, and L9 is better than L8.

The seventh place is frigate 07, a new member of BYD Ocean Network, which sold 5043 units. At present, the car belongs to the early delivery period, and it is expected that there will be a certain climb in the future.

The eighth to fifteenth places will not be introduced one by one. It is more intuitive for you to look at the pictures, but it should be noted that,AITO’s Wenjie M5 sold 2,732 units in January., the performance is average, you know, when it was brilliant, it sold nearly 10 thousand units a month.

As for the M7, according to the data provided by Cyrus, a total of 4,475 vehicles were sold in January. At present, AITO has two models, M5 and M7. After simple calculation,It can be seen that M7 sold 1,743 units in January.In this way, it is really not qualified to enter the top 15 list.

New energy vehicles and fuel vehicles have their own characteristics. It is hard to say who is better than who, and consumers will boldly buy whatever they like. I don’t know if you know anything about what is introduced today. As for its advantages, please read on.

First of all, from the appearance, the front face of Audi S6 looks cool and sporty. Coupled with the exquisite headlights, the visual effect looks quite young. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, automatic steering, delayed closing, rain and fog mode and so on. Come to the car side, the car body size is 4954MM*1886MM*1447MM, the car adopts young lines, the car body presents a fashionable and generous design style, with large-sized thick-walled tires, and smooth lines run through the whole car side. In the rear part, the rear looks very fashionable and sporty, the taillights look very rustic, and with the unique exhaust pipe, the whole looks very atmospheric.

When I came into the car, the interior looked very avant-garde, which improved the sense of fashion and simplicity. The steering wheel of this car is very personalized, equipped with the functions of manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, steering wheel heating, etc., and the shape is very fighting. Let’s take a look at the central control, which is decorated with a 10.1-inch central control screen, which makes the interior design quite layered and gives people a sense of simplicity. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats again. The dashboard design is remarkable and very eye-catching. The car uses a leather /Alcantara mixed seat, and the seat wrapping is in place, which is basically enough for daily use.

Looking at the configuration, the Audi S6 is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, rear window sunshade, interior atmosphere lights and other configurations.

OK！ Next, let’s sum up. This class of cars can often give consideration to both cost performance and practicality, and is often considered by most consumers as the first choice when buying a car.

As the first A-class auto show after the epidemic, the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show kicked off on April 18th. Chery’s high-end brand Xingtu Automobile recently released a new series of Star Era STERRA in Beijing, which made a high-profile appearance at the auto show and brought two new cars, which became the eye-catching focus at the auto show.

　　[Global Network Report] According to Russian media reports such as RIA Novosti and Tass, the car of zahar Prilepin, a Russian writer and co-chairman of the "Just Russia-Patriots-For Truth" party, exploded in Nizhny Novgorod on the 6th, killing the driver and injuring Prilepin. Oleg Osipov, vice-chairman of the Russian Federal Security Council and assistant to Medvedev, chairman of the United Russia Party, said on the same day that Medvedev said in a telegram sent to Prilepin that the explosion in his car was a "despicable attack by Nazi extremists".

Medvedev, data map, from RIA Novosti

　　According to the Tass news agency, Osipov said on the same day that Medvedev told Prilepin in a telegram, "I am very angry to learn that Nazi extremists have launched despicable attacks on you and people close to you. On behalf of the United Russia Party and in my own name, I would like to express my sincere support to you at this difficult time. I would like to extend my deep condolences to the family of your colleague who died as a result of this shameless crime. "

Prilepin, data map, from RIA Novosti

　　According to the report, Medvedev also said that Russia will not let such crimes go unpunished. "We are dealing with a cowardly enemy who tries to intimidate us. The goal is the true patriots of our country, those who do their best to serve the motherland and those who are doing their best to defeat Ukrainian neo-Nazism. These crimes will not go unpunished. " "Those who commit these crimes and their ideological supporters will not escape punishment," he said. He also wished Prilepin a speedy recovery and good health.

The picture of Prilepin’s car after the explosion in Nizhny Novgorod on May 6, from the Russian News Agency.

　　According to previous media reports, on the 6th local time, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, the car of zahar Prilepin, co-chairman of the Russian "Just Russia-Patriots-For Truth" party, exploded, killing the driver and injuring Prilepin himself. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs said on the same day that the suspect suspected of making this car bombing has been arrested. He is a man born in Ukraine, and the relevant Russian departments have characterized the case as a "terrorist attack". The investigation commission of the Russian Federation said that the suspect had admitted that he was instructed by the Ukrainian intelligence service. According to Ukrainian media reports, the Ukrainian National Security Agency said on the same day that it could not confirm or deny its participation in the car bombing.

　　　　The National Day Golden Week is coming, and the auto market will also usher in a small climax of rising sales. The Geely Global Hawk GX7 2.4L, which was released at Chengdu Auto Show, won the favor of many consumers immediately after it went on the market. The reason is not only because it only sells for 119,900 ~ 129,900 yuan, but also because it is equipped with the advanced power combination of CVVT engine and +6AT transmission. With such a high cost performance, this car will undoubtedly become the focus of the 11th sales season!

　　　　6AT automatic manual transmission, the best handling experience of the same class car.

　　　　As the first autonomous SUV equipped with 6AT transmission within 150,000 years, this killer will bring a very high purchase index to the Global Hawk GX7. This 6AT comes from DSI Australia, the second largest transmission manufacturer in the world. With the widespread adoption of 4AT in its class, Geely Automobile broke the monopoly of joint venture brand on 6AT, and GX7 far surpassed its class in terms of handling, performance and fuel consumption.

　　　　With the addition of 6AT with two transmission ratios, the gear ratio between gears is more reasonable, which makes the whole shift process smoother and smoother. At the same time, the setting of more gears makes the gear ratio range wider, which not only effectively suppresses the body shake at the start, but also reduces the engine speed during high-speed cruising, which significantly improves the fuel economy. The shift response of this transmission is only 0.3 seconds, which greatly reduces the power loss caused by shifting, and makes the start acceleration more rapid. Overall, the 6AT of Global Hawk GX7 is the best in its class in terms of comfort, handling and fuel economy.

　　　　2.4L CVVT engine, giving consideration to power and fuel consumption.

　　　　The engine compartment of the Global Hawk GX7 embodies the mature and perfect assembly technology of Geely Automobile. The engine compartment is arranged neatly and orderly, and the engine is equipped with a plastic cover. The model of this 2.4L engine is JLD-4G24, which is independently developed by Geely. The maximum power is 119kw and the maximum torque is 220N&bull. M, the parameters are in the mainstream level in the same class car, and with the cooperation of 6AT with excellent transmission, it can bring 10% power improvement.

　　　　Although most independent manufacturers are weak in the research and development of large-displacement engines, Geely once again uses technology to justify its own cars. This engine adopts aluminum cylinder block and CVVT technology, which can control the closing time of intake valve to increase air intake, make gasoline burn more fully and improve engine efficiency. Generally speaking, this engine has achieved a good balance in terms of power and fuel economy.

　　　　At present, there are two models of GX7 2.4L: 119,900 comfort model and 129,900 administrative model. The latter is more abundant in airbags and multimedia equipment than the former, with skylight and seat heating. Consumers who want to experience the extraordinary control experience of CVVT+6AT can choose the comfort type, while consumers with higher comfort requirements can choose the executive type. For the autonomous SUV at this price, the scientific and technological value of Global Hawk is the highest at the same level. I believe no one can resist the temptation of CVVT+6AT.

Automobile Quan Huafu News At the end of 2023, there was an important model quietly listed in a controversy, which was Chery’s high-end new energy model-Xingtu Xingjiyuan ES. But before the Spring Festival in 2024, Xingtu New Energy added a new car: Xingjiyuan ET. In this way, the star-to-star era sequence has formed the lineup of Gemini models of cars ES and SUV ET.

Today, the model we test drive is the pure electric four-wheel drive version of Star Era ET, with the maximum power of 353kW and the maximum horsepower of 480 horsepower. The curb weight has reached 2339kg, the body size is 4955/1975/1698mm, and the wheelbase is 3 meters. Star Era ET battery pack is Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and the wheel hub size reaches 255/50 R20. The size, space and power of the whole vehicle are enough to see and use.

Wild and hard enough to go out and play without any worries.

Accidents always come unexpectedly. At the beginning of the test drive meeting, it was actually a direct hard-core cross-country, opening the shoal and wading! It’s the first time to drive a new energy SUV across the river. I directly turned on the off-road mode of Star Era ET and slowly tried to drive the car into the river.

The feeling and sound of a behemoth with a weight of 2.3 tons pressing on the pebbles at the bottom of the river make driving gradually enter the state. According to the test drive coach, the wading depth of Star Age ET is 750mm, which is more than that of Bobcats.

After wading, there are conventional hard-core cross-country venues, bullet pits and cross-axle pavements. However, there is no pressure on medium and large SUVs such as Xingjiyuan ET. In the whole process, the torque at the wheel end of Xingjiyuan ET is distributed in place, and the wheels are locked as soon as they slip, and the support of the suspension is very tight. It can be seen that Chery Automobile’s "cloud structure" plays a decisive role in the adjustment and promotion of the whole vehicle.

Big enough and comfortable enough, and it is easy and comfortable to travel at home.

Having said that, the positioning of Star Era ET is, after all, an urban mobility SUV. After off-road measurement, the off-road capability of Star Era ET has made people worry about nothing, but what about the comfort and space of positioning home cities for mobility?

The wheelbase is 3 meters and the body size is close to 5 meters. Such parameters can be imagined in the interior space. Whether in the front row or the back row, the head space and leg space are more than enough, and the flat floor in the back row is also frequently praised by the teachers who participated in the test drive.

In the front cab, Star Age ET is equipped with the main zero-gravity passenger seat of the model. The support of the seat to the body is in place, which makes the human body feel comfortable. In fact, the armrest box is also a highlight, which can be moved back and forth for a certain distance.

Auto Quan Huafu Review: At present, Star Era ET only has 5 seats. For new energy vehicles of this size, 6 seats and 7 seats can actually be added later. Moreover, the official logo, in the second quarter of this year, Star Era ET will usher in an extended-range model, so that people with pure battery life anxiety have more choices.

　　　 In the recent C-NCAP test, the eighth generation Accord got a 5+ star rating with a score of 50.3, making it the only car model that got a 5+ rating among all the tested car models. In terms of safety alone, the Eight-Generation Accord really deserves the title of "the strongest in history". So how did the Accord achieve such good results? Besides the C-NCAP test project, how does the Accord perform in other safety projects? This article will take you to know more about the safety of the Accord.

ACE body design based on G-CON
　　　 From the scene of C-NCAP collision, it can be seen that the eighth generation Accord can ensure that the passenger compartment is intact, the airbag triggering time is accurate, and the dummy has no obvious displacement, regardless of the frontal collision of 100%, frontal collision of 40% or side collision, showing a very high safety level. The achievement of this effect is mainly due to the "Advanced Compatibility Design (ACE)" body structure technology which was innovated on the basis of G-CON technology for the first time adopted by the Eighth Accord.
　　　 G-CON vehicle impact control technology is a high-level all-round collision safety technology developed by Honda.

By controlling the impact force G to the car body, the impact force G to the passengers and the impact force G to the pedestrians when a collision occurs, the injury to people can be reduced, which is a general term of safety technology to ensure the safety of the passengers in the car and give consideration to the safety of pedestrians. Honda CR-V, Odyssey and other models have achieved good results in C-NCAP test by virtue of G-CON technology. The eighth generation Accord also adopted G-CON technology, and further adopted ACE advanced compatible body design.
　　　 With the help of an advanced computer-aided design process, a fully integrated load-bearing unit network is constructed, which can distribute the collision force evenly to a larger area in front of the vehicle, reduce the peak collision force, enable the Accord to absorb the collision energy efficiently, and minimize the occurrence of upper or lower overlap when it collides with an oversized or undersized vehicle.
　　　 In the conventional design of the car body, the frontal collision energy is transmitted to the lower load-bearing structure at the front end of the vehicle, while the ACE system can effectively channel the frontal collision energy to the upper and lower structural members at the same time, including the floor longitudinal beam, the side sill and the A-pillar. ACE system can distribute these frontal collision forces in a larger proportion of the total vehicle structure by establishing a clear engineering structure "path", so as to avoid the collision forces more effectively, reduce the deformation of the passenger compartment and further improve the protection ability for passengers.
　　　 The floor design of the eighth generation Accord can better disperse and absorb energy and improve the protection ability. The main longitudinal beam positioned on the floor further improves the vehicle’s ability to withstand severe side impact. At the same time, the rear rigidity of the car body is improved through the new and stronger rear structural parts.

The dosage of 590 high strength steel plate is increased by 3 times.
　　　 In the crash test, all the items of the Eighth Accord got almost full marks, and the high-rigidity car body structure also contributed. The eighth generation Accord has comprehensively improved the usage of high-strength steel plates in the body frame, from 13% in the previous generation to 48%, especially the usage of No.590 steel has increased three times compared with the past, accounting for 42%, which is mainly used in the passenger compartment. Therefore, the torsional stiffness of the whole vehicle is increased by 20%, the vertical stiffness of the rear part is increased by 33%, and the support point stiffness of the front suspension is increased by 36%. The extensive use of high-strength steel plates and the application of crash-proof steel beams as standard configuration have completely broken through the rigidity level of existing European cars and set a new standard for car body safety performance.

6 Airbags provide all-round protection for passengers.
　　　 Airbags play an important role in modern automobile safety design. Honda began to develop airbags as early as 1971, putting "people" as the first consideration. The eighth generation Accord is equipped with an all-round airbag system, which can effectively ensure the safety of the occupants in the car, mainly including intelligent front airbags, front seat side airbags and side airbags.
　　　 The eighth generation Accord’s main and passenger seats are equipped with advanced intelligent frontal airbags, which can quickly sense and judge according to the collision state. Two-stage detonators are adopted, and two-stage explosions are carried out according to the collision degree to control the start of airbags, optimize the speed of airbag deployment, and minimize the impact of airbag deployment on passengers.
　　　 When a side collision occurs, the front seat side airbag can block the front window to prevent the occupant from colliding with the door and pillar. When used in conjunction with airbags, front seat side airbags will play a higher degree of protection. The intelligent side airbag and airbag curtain system can provide effective protection for passengers in the event of side collision.
　　　 The Eighth Accord also has an intelligent OPDS (Occupant Posture Detection System) occupant attitude detection system, which controls the deployment state of the side airbag by sensing the sitting height and head position of the co-pilot occupant through sensors inside the seat, thus protecting the occupant’s safety to the greatest extent.
The newly designed safety air curtain can provide better head protection for the front passengers and the outer passengers in the rear when a side collision occurs.

Bidirectional pretensioned seat belt
　　　 By analyzing the C-NCAP test results of Accord, one of the items that attracted the author’s special attention was that Accord got full marks in the chest index in the frontal 00% collision. This indicator has always been the weakness of domestic and foreign models in NCAP testing. Among the tested models of C-NCAP, Accord is the only one that gets full marks in this indicator. Apart from the advanced body design and the optimization of restraint system, the Accord’s seat belt system is also worth mentioning. The front seat of the Eighth Accord adopts a two-way pre-tightening device and a seat belt system with a load limiter, which further improves the restraint effect on the driver and reduces the degree of injury.

active head restraint
　　　 When a rear-end collision occurs, the neck of the passenger will be subjected to a large impact force, which is very easy to be injured. The eighth generation Accord is equipped with a front seat active safety headrest, which reduces the injury to the neck in the event of a rear collision. In the event of a rear collision, the occupant is pushed to the seat back, and a linkage mechanism in the seat back will press the lower end of the rear headrest connecting rod, so that the headrest moves forward to support the head and reduce the impact on the passenger’s head, neck and spine.

Six in one active safety system
　　　 In addition to the leading passive safety technology, the Eighth Accord is equipped with a complete six-in-one active electronic security systems, including anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic braking force distribution system (EBD), brake assist system (BA), traction control system (TCS/ASR), sideslip control system (SC) and vehicle stability assistance system (VSA).

Reduce the injury to pedestrians
　　　 Guangzhou Honda has always regarded "safety for all" as its core concept. The eighth generation Accord not only provides the strongest protection performance for the occupants in the car, but also makes a special design for pedestrian safety. Usually, when a collision happens, the most vulnerable parts for pedestrians are the head and the front of the body. The eighth generation Accord has adopted a carefully considered energy-absorbing design for pedestrian protection headstock. The height of the engine cover, the softness of the metal and the distance between it and the hard engine cover have been carefully calculated, designed into a deformation mode that can cushion the impact force, and adopted materials that can absorb the impact energy. When a collision occurs, it can buffer the impact force and minimize the damage to pedestrians.

Outstanding test results
　　　 The eighth generation Accord not only achieved excellent results of 5+ stars in the C-NCAP collision in China, but also got the highest evaluation from G in the collision test of IIHS, an American safety collision testing institution. In the US-NCAP crash test, the eighth generation Accord also got the highest evaluation of 5 stars, reaching the best safety performance in its class. The excellent collision results of the eighth generation Accord around the world fully prove its safety level beyond national boundaries.

Design concept focusing on the real world
　　　 The development concept of the eighth generation Accord is to provide drivers and passengers with a pleasant driving experience that they can feel personally, which also includes reliable safety guarantee. Honda is not satisfied with the safety research at the theoretical level, but focuses on the study of real scenes in the real world, making vehicles more in line with the safety requirements under actual road conditions. For this reason, Honda built the world’s first indoor omni-directional collision test facility in 2000. Through the statistics and analysis of real traffic accident data in various countries, it can simulate the real-world collision scene and study the safety technology that is more in line with the real world. It is under this design concept that the eighth generation Accord has repeatedly verified the high-strength and high-precision safety car body design by simulating real-world collision tests and driving tests on the test track, so as to deal with complex and diverse collision situations in the real world with full safety guarantee.
