How safe is the MPV? Pros and cons of MPV?

Theoretically, compared with SUVs and sedans, MPVs are generally less safe because of their innate body structure. MPVs pursue an absolutely large space, and in order to make way for the space in the passenger compartment, the engine compartment and baggage compartment are often designed to be relatively short, and the collapse space in the event of an impact is relatively small, so the impact on the occupants in the car will be greater. In particular, front-seat passengers and third-row passengers are more dangerous in the event of a frontal collision or a rear-end collision.

Judging from the results of the crash test, whether it is China's China Insurance Research Institute or the United States' IIHS, the structural safety of MPVs is inferior to that of sedans and SUVs. For example, the China Insurance Research Institute has currently tested two MPV models, BYD Song MAX and Buick GL8, one of the occupant safety scores are poor, and the other scores M average, which are difficult to put on the table. Looking at the results of the IIHS in the United States, only the American version of the Odyssey (and the domestic Odyssey is not a car) that has received an excellent evaluation, and the safety of the rest of the MPVs is not very good.

Many people will say that the curb weight of the MPV is heavier and will have an advantage over the crash test in the actual collision, but it should be noted that the SUV in the same price range is not lighter than the MPV. For example, the Buick GL8 ES costs 10,000 yuan, the curb weight is about two tons, and the joint venture medium and large SUVs can be bought at the same price, such as Buick's own Encore Qi, and the curb weight is also about two tons. In other words, it doesn't matter how much better the MPV's actual crash test can be, the important thing is that you can buy a structurally safer product at the same price.

To sum up, the safety of MPVs is not outstanding, and the purchase value is not high.

How about the safety of China's special MPV? Let's take a look at the Buick GL8 crash test.

In terms of these two types of cars, there is no exact standard for safety. Comparatively speaking, in the event of a car crash, the large car is generally safer. Because it is relatively large in size and has many stress points, it is safer to say that SUV and MPV are safer.

The safety of SUVs and MPVs needs to be determined according to the model, age, and value of the car, and it is not 100% sure that MPVs will be safe. But first of all, in terms of size, MPVs are definitely safe. Because when the car collides, the big car and the small car collide together, and the force point and space range of the car are relatively small, so the car is easy to overturn.

Target. Comparatively speaking, the MPV is a little larger and looks more stable in terms of image appearance. There will be no rollover, so from this point of view, the MPV type of car is relatively safe. <>

The type of car is also one of the problems that determine the safety of the car, because some cars may be more expensive, and its body is equipped with a stable scientific control system. Then there will be a lot of airbags in the interior of the car, which will provide good safety protection for the driver and passengers in time in the event of a collision. Therefore, the car ** is a problem that needs to be considered for the safety of these two cars.

Moreover, some models focus on safety, and some focus on sports, which also needs to be decided by looking at the brand. <>

In addition to the above price, brand and volume, from the perspective of safety, the new car will be a little safer than the old car. Whether it is an SUV or an MPV, the materials of the new car have not changed, on the other hand, the accessories on the old car must have been seriously deformed due to weather, rain, and sun. Therefore, these two cars are only compared with the safety of the old and the new, and the new car will be a little better.

Therefore, when you buy a car, try to buy a new model, the safety of the car is definitely better, do not buy a second-hand car that is very old, the material on it is already very fragile, and it will be very prone to accidents.

As far as MPVs and SUVs are concerned, the advantage of MPVs is that they retain the advantage of a low center of gravity and better stability. Coupled with the weight of the car, it is the least likely of the three models to roll over. SUVs are worse in this regard because the center of gravity is high, which is one of the reasons why many SUVs fall off the elk test.

However, the above is theoretical, and there are many factors that affect the actual situation. For example, a light car hits a car with a medium tan land mass, while a car with a low chassis hits a car with a high chassis. The former is the weaker side.

I think it's an SUV, and the safety is better, because the SUV body is more stable, the chassis is higher, and it is not easy to roll over.

I think they each have their own benefits, the SUV passive safety performance will be better, and the MPV will have better active performance relatively speaking.

The disadvantage of MPV models is that they are relatively fuel-efficient compared to cars of the same level, and there is that 7-seat MPV models can not enjoy new cars without online inspection within six years, but the advantages of MPV models are that the car space is large, and the practicality is high.

Hello Advantages: Large space, reasonable seat layout, good ride feeling Disadvantages: The car is too large, the passability is not good, and the fuel consumption is high.

Advantages: large space and comfortable ride.

Disadvantages: high fuel consumption, not easy to operate, parking is not as convenient as a trolley.

First of all, to give you the answer: MPV comfort and safety cannot be both. The comfort is good, but relatively speaking, the safety is a little lower.

I think whether a car is safe or not depends on two main aspectsOn the one hand, there is the design and materials used in the body (passive safety), and on the other hand, the handling and reliability of the car itself (active safety).

First of all, limited by the appearance characteristics of MPV, in terms of safety in a collision, it is probably not as good as a sedan or SUV, because the front and rear can be used to collapse and absorb energy. So I will choose a joint venture brand of a large manufacturer that is better in terms of body materials, or an imported model.

Another point is that in terms of the handling and reliability of the car, I will choose brands and models with mature technology from major international brands. For the car to be safe, the least thing is to be easy to control, and the failure rate of the three major parts and accessories is low. After all, if the car breaks down in the wilderness during the road trip, it is a very painful and dangerous thing.

If the car itself is not easy to control, it will cause the cornering to lose control, roll over...That's even more unprepared.

The safety performance of the model has a certain safety rating after the vehicle production has passed the China Insurance Research InstituteThe safety performance of each model is different, and the MPV model is the same, but relatively speaking, the overall safety performance of the MPV model is lacking compared with the sedan and SUV.

Toyota Alpha is a top-of-the-line business MPVThe model is positioned as a medium and large MPV, such a model is mainly used in the business field and nanny cars, most of the front row is the driver's activity space, MPV models have great characteristics, the front and rear of the car are relatively short, the overall collision buffer distance is very short, the front collision and the rear collision, will directly involve the driver and passengers, even the top Toyota Alpha, can not avoid this situation.

Including the family MPV model Honda OdysseySecondly, the elk test of the MPV car god is lacking compared with sedans and SUVs, because MPV models, the body is high, the body is narrow, and the overall proportion coordination is compared with sedans and SUVs, and the overall lack of advantages.

Summary: The overall safety performance of MPV models is still up to standard, but it is lacking compared to the overall safety of SUVs and sedansThe front of the car is short, the rear is short, and it will approach the occupants faster in the event of an accident.

MPV is still relatively safe, its safety coefficient is higher, not easy to occur ritious rent failure, but its comfort is not complete, there is a hail or part of the MPV is not particularly comfortable, there are many difficulties in operation.

MPVs are of course comfortable and safe, and they are also very spacious and ideal for families.

To be able to do both, only to bury the need for continuous improvement in this area, and He withered and in the process of spending a lot of costs, so in general, in Zen carry this aspect of the vehicle is not very good.

Of course, this series of cars is not only very comfortable, but also very safe.

Yes, as long as you choose a mid-range MPV, these MPVs are more comfortable and the safety performance is also guaranteed.

MPV will be good at creating riding and cargo space, the handling part will be slightly weaker than the sedan, but the confidence to drive is still good, the passability is similar to the sedan, suitable for users who have the pursuit of space.

Unlike sedans, MPVs have a slightly higher center of gravity, but the ground clearance is close to that of sedans, mainly by using the height of the car into the cabin. Therefore, the MPV feels very close to the sedan, but the center of gravity deviates more, and it is not as agile as the sedan.

The most powerful advantage of the SUV is the passability, especially the bad road back to the hometown and the road section repaired in the city, and the SUV can often show its advantages at this time. In addition, some SUV models will also be equipped with professional four-wheel drive system assistance, and the survivability in the wild is also incomparable to that of sedans and MPVs.

The second is the sitting posture and vision, SUV is significantly higher than sedans and MPV, and the physique is also strong, many users will like this type of posture very much, and the satisfaction of psychological security will increase a lot, but this has also become the reason for SUV users to choose.

What is the difference between an SUV and an MPV with the same 7-seater model? To put it simply, the difference between the third row of SUVs is that the layout of the third row of seats is very tight, and the entry and exit need to be completed by the humility of the second-row passengers, and the space is not satisfactory. The third row of an MPV can safely fit an adult, but SUVs often only use the third row for emergency use.

I think it's definitely SUVs that are safer.

SUV, in fact, the safety of both is quite good.

It must be that the safety performance of the sedan is better.

I think MPV is a little bit more secure.

However, the issue of safety and durability will become more prominent.

I think SUVs are safer.

I think the former, the former I am more familiar with.

It's all about the same, the former is better.

However, the issue of safety and durability will become more prominent. Among them, the specific energy of the battery cell will reach 350 watts in 2025. It can form SUVs, MPVs, and sedans, and it can be driven in front and behind.

With the increasing development of China's economy, the two-child policy has been opened. MPV will be considered by more consumers, consumers may not care how much face this car will bring them, will not care about the driving experience of this car, but will care more about whether this car can bring a better experience to their families, among them, safety issues are of particular concern to them.

C-IASI: China Insurance Research Institute, a testing organization jointly established by several insurance companies to serve insurance companies.

J-NCAP: Funded by the government and commissioned by NASVA (Autonomous Vehicle Accident Response Agency) with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan.

The interests of these three testing institutions are consistent with those of consumers and can be trusted with confidence.

Some time ago, in the C-IASI test, the results of the GL8 model were announced, which caused a thousand waves with one stone and caused widespread discussion. The new GL8 has a staggering score of P (poor) in the cockpit in the first 25% offset collision and a shocking B-pillar score of M (medium) in side impacts.

In Japan's J-NCAP, the Alpha's crash results were also not ideal, with severe B-pillar deformation in a side impact, and a poor score in a frontal 40% of the b-pillar collision, not to mention the 25% offset collision that was not tested in the J-NCAP. You know, this is a top-of-the-line MPV that costs 800,000 yuan in China, and it is difficult to find a car, and you need to increase the price by 400,000 yuan to pick up the car.

The performance of such an expensive MPV model in a collision is unsatisfactory, does that mean that the MPV cannot be safe due to congenital structural problems? Of course, MPVs have little room to collapse due to their short nose. The body is large and there are many cavities, resulting in insufficient strength of the body frame.

But in MPV, there are not only poor students who fail to pass the collision score, but also excellent good students.

The collision score of the American version of the Odyssey is an astonishing full G (excellent).

The Grand Jie Long also got a pretty good result, only getting an A (good) in a small angle collision with the co-pilot.

Therefore, the American version of the Odyssey, Dajielong proved to us that there is no need to talk about any objective factors, MPV can be as safe as a car, or even more than a car at the same price.

Postscript: The safety of the car cannot be seen or touched, and it cannot be judged by knocking on the iron sheet and listening to the sound of the door closing. The safety problems of Chinese cars may be related to the existence of a credible testing organization, and now, he has appeared, and I am increasingly looking forward to more models entering the test list of the China Insurance Research Institute, on the one hand, it can give consumers an objective result, on the other hand, it can urge car companies to strengthen their own level and develop benignly, I believe that one day we can end this chaos, and we can be as mature as the American market.

But as a consumer, you should also consider whether you are responsible for your own safety while pursuing vehicle safety, whether you use seat belt buckles, whether you insist that rear passengers use seat belts, and whether you use special seats for children?
