On December 1, 2022, the Automobile Evaluation and Management Center of China Automobile Center released the latest C-NCAP test results. The comprehensive score rate of popular yachts reached 83.3%, which is the first MPV to obtain five-star safety results since the implementation of the 2021 version of the new C-NCAP regulations.

The 2021 version of C-NCAP procedure of the Automobile Evaluation Management Center of China Automobile Center is praised as the most stringent and new procedure in the history of the automobile industry, and its assessment standards in the three modules of occupant protection, pedestrian protection and active safety have been comprehensively upgraded, which is closer to the real scene. As the first MPV to obtain five star safety achievements in the 2021 version of C-NCAP regulations, it can be said that popular yachts really stand on the peak of the MPV safety field.

The 2021 version of C-NCAP is more comprehensive and strict, which can be called the hell test of MPV

C-NCAP (China New Car Assessment Procedure) is established by an independent and impartial third-party evaluation institution, the Automobile Assessment Management Center of China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd., and will actively upgrade the safety crash test standards every other period of time. It has been integrated with the international mainstream NCAP as a whole, and some evaluation projects have achieved international leadership

The 2021 version of C-NCAP procedure is mainly divided into three modules: occupant protection, pedestrian protection and active safety. For the occupant protection module, MPDB barrier is used to replace ODB barrier in the case of frontal medium offset overlapping crash; The dynamic evaluation and static evaluation of the protection of 3-year-old and 10-year-old children in the second row are added; Newly added air curtain pressure maintaining, E-call and monitoring function of whether the rear SBR is riding; Pedestrian protection module, the head type test adds the head impact area of the two wheeled vehicle WAD2100-2300, and the leg type test adopts the aPLI leg type that can better reflect the biomechanical characteristics of human lower limbs; In the active safety module, under the scenario of enriching the original function evaluation, the evaluation of AEB two wheelers, LKA, LDW, BSD and SAS is added, and the safety evaluation of headlights is added, including the test of low beam and high beam illuminance performance, glare, and advanced lighting technology.

In brief, the 2021 version of the C-NCAP procedure has the following characteristics: closer to the real scene, more realistic occupant injury evaluation, more attention to the safety of rear row passengers, more attention to child safety, more attention to pedestrian safety, higher requirements for active safety, more scene coverage, etc. It can be said that the 2021 version of C-NCAP procedure is a hell class evaluation for MPV models.

Superior overall performance, popular yacht won the first MPV five-star in 2021

The popular yacht has surpassed its peers in many aspects. In the face of the MPV hell test, the 2021 version of C-NCAP evaluation, it has brought a surprising safety performance.

Combining the five indicators of active safety, pedestrian protection, lighting performance, whipping test and collision test, the comprehensive score rate of popular yachts reached 83.3%, which is the first MPV to achieve five-star safety performance since the implementation of the 2021 C-NCAP new regulations. In the side impact (i.e. side impact AE-MDB) condition, the air curtain pressure keeping performance of the popular yacht obtained full marks, which not only effectively protected the passengers, but also bought valuable time for rescue. In the evaluation of active and passive rescue after collision, E-CALL, a popular yacht, can timely respond to the collision rescue service, thus obtaining full marks in this evaluation. In terms of light control, thanks to the close correlation of the popular yacht's advanced ADAS system and the matching calibration of multiple scenes, the light performance of the whole vehicle scored 8.180 points (full score: 10 points).

To sum up, popular yachts performed well in the 2021 version of the new C-NCAP test, with superior overall performance. It can be said that we have conquered the popular yacht with the most difficult new rules in the history of 2021, and truly achieved the goal of standing at the top of the MPV safety field.

The safety ceiling for children's passengers sets a new benchmark in the industry for the first time in the history of popular yachts

In the evaluation of children of different ages added to the occupant protection in the 2021 version of C-NCAP regulations, the popular yacht gave a satisfactory answer: under the 50km/h vehicle frontal crash (i.e. MPDB) condition, the head, neck and chest of 10 year old children (i.e. Q10) in the middle row of the popular yacht were effectively protected, thus obtaining full marks for each item.

In the 50km/h rigid wall frontal crash (i.e. FRB) condition, the head, neck and chest of the 3-year-old child (i.e. Q3) on the middle row child seat of the popular yacht are also effectively protected, with full marks for the head, neck and chest, 0.630 (full mark 1) and 0.996 (full mark 1) respectively. Under these two working conditions, the crew evaluation of other positions of popular yachts also met expectations and achieved very good results.

As the first MPV model challenger in the 2021 version of C-NCAP regulations, the outstanding performance of popular yachts in child safety protection is enough to become a benchmark case in the industry. The reason why popular yachts have such a performance is due to the use of pre tightening force limiting safety belts for front and middle row seats, as well as the good design matching between independent middle row seats and child seats. During the collision, the seat and the safety belt are well matched to produce a firm binding force, so as to prevent children from moving due to the impact force of the collision and causing injuries. Secondly, the body design of the popular yacht is based on the EMA super cube structure, which can effectively prevent space extrusion from injuring passengers.

Dongfeng Fengxing deeply understands that it is crucial for every family to ensure the safety of vulnerable child passengers. This popular yacht is the first in the industry to set a new benchmark for the protection of MPV middle row children's occupants, which is another manifestation of Dongfeng Fengxing's insistence on the concept of "making for home".

Pedestrians protect the ceiling, popular yachts break the traditional MPV span situation

For a long time, the performance of traditional MPV in C-NCAP pedestrian protection project is a "hidden pain" that most manufacturers are unwilling to mention. This time, popular yachts broke this situation for the first time, and gained 4.677 points (out of 5 points) in leg type test of pedestrian protection, which opened up a sunny avenue for traditional MPV to improve pedestrian protection and is worth being remembered by the industry.

The reason why popular yachts can have such an epoch-making performance depends on the originality of the model designer: pedestrian protection is fully considered in the modeling stage. Therefore, the design of the head profile has been optimized, and the special protection beam for the lower leg and the bumper buffer foam have been added. This series of improvements creatively broke through the limitations of MPV models on pedestrian protection.

Dongfeng Fengxing firmly believes that life safety is equally important for passengers inside and outside the vehicle, and is the basic bottom line that every automobile manufacturer should hold. The popular yacht has minimized the damage to both sides in the event of a car collision, taking care of the safety of the driver in the car as well as the safety of others, and truly achieved a "win-win".

Active safety ceiling, popular yacht, high scores in many projects, perfect answers

Benefiting from the 12 safety configurations of L2+intelligent assistant driving system, the ESC system of popular yachts obtained full marks in the active safety audit of the 2021 version of C-NCAP regulations; 33.218 (full score: 38) on AEB of automatic emergency braking system in the evaluation item; Among the optional audit items, the lane departure LDW, blind area monitoring BSD and other items were given full marks. In addition, in terms of light performance, because the popular yacht is equipped with functions such as automatic switching of low beam and automatic control of high beam, the test score is 8.18 (full score: 10).

The popular yacht is positioned as a 7-seat family car, and the safety consideration for home use is naturally the top priority, so it focuses on optimizing some active safety projects. For example, in the lane departure warning, the horizontal field angle of view of the camera has been improved from 52 degrees to 100 degrees, with better recognition performance. When the driver senses that he/she has unintentionally left the lane, he/she can remind the driver to actively intervene to correct the deviation through sound and light

In terms of active safety configuration, popular yachts strive to take into account every detail. Whether it is the function of intelligent auxiliary driving or the function of light reminder, it is the ultimate travel partner that users can fully trust.

Beyond traditional MPV, popular yachts are worthy of the name of "seven seat family car safety ceiling"

Since the popular yacht came into the market at the end of July, with the strength of "150,000 yuan level seven seat family car ceiling", it has become the first self owned brand seven seat family car in the market that is different from traditional MPV models and fully focuses on household needs. Through the 2021 version of C-NCAP crash test, popular yachts have endorsed the strength of three safety ceilings, namely, "child occupant protection ceiling", "pedestrian protection ceiling" and "active safety ceiling", with professional authority verification, breaking the collective "spanning" situation of traditional MPV models in crash test, which is of pioneering significance to the industry.

In this test, the popular yacht, with its good performance, once again consolidated its strength of seven seat family cars that dominate the MPV, SUV and sedan sectors: the comfortable space of traditional MPV, the driving vision and chassis trafficability of SUV, the controllability and economy of sedan; Now, combined with the safety beyond the traditional MPV, the strength of popular yachts is unprecedented, worthy of the title of "seven seat family car safety ceiling".
