Why don t there be headrests in the back of some GM cars?

Cost considerations. Needless to say, cars below 100,000 yuan are rarely equipped with rear ** headrests. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. **The higher the configuration, the higher the penetration rate.

This mainly depends on your own habits, some people are used to using headrests, and some people are not used to it, so it is not prepared.

Because the design of each car is different, and some customers just prefer to have no headrests, so both those with and without headrests should be available.

Because that's what it was designed to do. And some people just like to ride in a car without a headrest.

Because the configuration of these cars does not have this option in the first place, and without this configuration is not there.

Because this is related to the brand culture, as well as the self-design of the car itself, it is also for the sake of beauty.

For safety reasons and for the model, there is not enough space behind the rear seats.

This is mainly because of the cost, depending on your preferences.

Because the back row generally does not need to be headed, and the cost will become higher.

This is probably what they are designed to be.

Summary. The role of the car headrest is mainly to protect the fragile neck of the human body when the car encounters a rear-end accident, and at the same time to cushion the head. Without a headrest, the powerful impact of the impact will directly compress the fragile neck, causing injury to the spine, and in severe cases, it may cause paralysis and even life-threatening.

Kiss, the role of the car headrest is mainly to protect the fragile neck of the human body when the car encounters a rear-end accident, and at the same time, the sharp rock plays a cushioning role on the head. If there is no headrest, the powerful impact caused by the impact of the brother base cover will directly compress the fragile neck, thus causing injury to the spine, and in severe cases, it may cause paralysis and even life-threatening.

Rear headrests** are all in, 22-180. It's almost cheaper, but the safety is the same, and there is no expensive headrest, which is more comfortable and Anlu takes a full sense of kissing.

Kiss, and the car rear in the core orange headrest can be installed, the car headrest belongs to the national automobile compulsory certification testing project, and in the material, strength, energy absorption, location and size and other indicators have strict regulations, but the rear seat of the car headrest is not mandatory, the owners can install their own.

Why don't many cars have a middle headrest in the back? Is it a manufacturer reduction? This time I got it.

Basically, all five-seater cars will not be designed with a rear middle headrest, otherwise it is not conducive to the driver's backward observation, which is a reasonable design and there is no problem.

The middle headrest in the rear row is a comfortable configuration, and the middle headrest is generally omitted in the low-profile version in order to save costs!

The rear center headrest easily blocks the rear window, and it is difficult to see the rear in the interior mirror, so many compact cars do not have a rear center headrest.

Some cars do not install rear middle headrests for cost and usability.

However, more and more car manufacturers are now taking notice of this, and many cars now have a headrest in the middle of the rear row.

Cadillac's current position as the leader of the second-tier camp is completely won by hard work. Although a large number of high-performance turbo engines were equipped with a new generation of high-performance turbo engines three or four years ago, so that its models have the performance of the same class of BBA, the outside world still has a bad evaluation of Cadillac.

On the one hand, the power is not bought, and on the other hand, Cadillac's spatial performance has been complained about - and the ride feel. While there is no advantage in space, the rear luxury design and executive-level configuration lag behind the BBA. The most important thing is that Cadillac's car does not have a rear middle headrest!

The picture shows the Cadillac ATS, which is currently the brand's lowest-end model in China, and it is also an important model. In fact, the ** is basically in the early 200,000s, and the configuration of the low-profile car is acceptable, and the 279-horsepower engine of the whole system breaks 100 in seconds.

The picture shows the rear row of the ATS, although it has been lengthened, it is still the smallest in its class, and it is noted that there are only two headrests.

The picture shows the Cadillac XT5, which is the brand's next-generation SUV, which successfully replaced the SRX. The size is dominant in its class, but the problem is that the XT5 is not at all dominant in space, and the SRX's problems are still there - and the blind spot is also complained about.

The picture shows the rear row of the XT5, without a middle headrest, which doesn't look a bit like the rear seats of a mid-size luxury SUV?

Finally, let's take a look at Cadillac's current flagship sedan, the CT6, which is misaligned to compete with the 5 Series and 7 Series, that is, it is more high-end than the 5 Series and slightly lower than the 7 Series.

The performance of the rear row of this product also reflects the brand's current achievements in luxury.

The picture shows the rear row of the CT6, which can only be said to be much wider than the ATS, and the seats are thicker.

But there is still a lack of middle headrests, which makes people feel that something is missing at a glance?

Finally, popular science: because the regulations of the United States have requirements for the vision of the inner rearview mirror, American cars basically do not have rear middle headrests, and some are mainly foldable. For example, GM simply abandoned the design of the rear middle headrest.

So someone said, don't all Fords have middle headrests? This also reflects that Ford is more localized and understands the principle of "following the local customs", which has been added in the process of domestic production.

But from a safety point of view, in fact, there is nothing wrong with universal thinking, after all, a headrest can not save any cost.

Why don't many cars have a middle headrest in the back? Is it a manufacturer reduction? This time I got it.

Because there is no place to fix the headrest in the middle of the rear row, there is basically no headrest, and the rear row is almost not full.

The purpose of this is to prevent the driver from seeing the car behind him, so the headrest is not installed in the middle of the rear row.

It was originally designed as a four-seater. The standard number of people carrying a car is four people, the main and passenger seats, so only the left and right headrests are made in the rear row, and there is no one in the middle.

In the past, there was no reversing image, only rearview mirrors, and there was no headrest in the middle of the background for the driver to observe.

A headrest is not expensive, but if you buy hundreds of thousands of cars for a car, then it will be a big expense, there is no headrest in the rear of the car, saving costs is one aspect, after all, car companies have the goal of reducing costs every year, and the other reason is because of safety, the headrest is in the middle of the rear seat, the driver looks at the state of the back through the middle rearview mirror, and if there is a headrest bulge in the middle, it will block the view. Of course, there is another reason: the middle floor of the rear row is generally raised, and there are very few people sitting in the middle, so there are no headrests.

Cost reduction considerations.

Generally speaking, enterprises have cost reduction indicators every year, such as how much will they reduce next year compared with this year, and where do these costs generally come from? There are conventional raw materials, so that the first business directly reduces the cost price, and the first business has to choose lower cost materials for the sake of profit. In order to reduce costs, sometimes a screw will become one of the objects of consideration, the middle headrest of the rear seat of the car may not be conspicuous in the car, and it is not easy to be noticed by consumers, and it is often ignored when it is used, but when the cost is reduced, the price of more than a dozen yuan and more than 100 yuan can naturally play a very big role in reducing costs, especially some cars with good sales, such as many cars now sell more than 100,000 or 200,000 units a year, and a cycle can sell about 500,000 or 600,000 units. So many cars add up to a lot of money.

Security considerations.

When the driver uses the vehicle normally, the middle rearview mirror in the car has a very important role, and the middle rearview mirror is often seen through the upper part of the rear seat to see the state behind the vehicle, if there is a headrest in the middle of the rear row, there is a certain impact on the vision of the rearview mirror, which may cover the driver's vision, so that the middle headrest may be canceled for the consideration of driving angle. Of course, I think there are very few manufacturers from this angle, more because of the cost.

When a vehicle has a traffic accident, the headrest has a very important role in the neck and head protection of passengers, and the middle seat of the rear seat is generally used very little, so many manufacturers cancel the middle headrest for cost considerations, but once the vehicle has an accident, the middle headrest will play a good role in protecting passengers.

Because the headrest in the middle of the rear row of the car will affect the driver's vision when looking at the rearview mirror, it has a potential safety hazard, and reducing the headrest in the middle of the rear row of the car saves costs, so most cars always have less headrests in the middle of the rear row.

Because in the middle of the rear seat of the car, the driver often observes the situation behind him through this line of sight, so it cannot be blocked by any object.

Because if this headrest is installed, it will block the driver's view of the car behind through the mirror. Therefore, most cars do not have a headrest in the middle of the rear row.

Because the middle of the rear row is for children to sit by default, and the height of children cannot reach the height of the headrest.
