Recently, the C-NCAP of the China Automobile Center released the collision test results of another vehicle model - GAC Hechuang Z03, which has only been evaluated by Samsung.
You should be very familiar with C-NCAP. It was once known as the "Five Star Wholesale Department", and it is precisely because of such doubts that this test is constantly improving. This time, Hechuang Z03 was evaluated by Samsung under the new test standard.
However, it should be noted that even though the standarDS have been improved, from the past several tests, many models still have received five-star ratings, and there are few four-star or even three-star ratings. This also shows that if you get the Samsung evaluation, you really need to carefully examine your own quality.
To be specific, the reason why Hechuang Z03 was awarded the C-NCAP three-star rating was that the main item of points lost was pedestrian protection, with a scoring rate of only 59.07%. According to the data of C-NCAP, the average score rate of pedestrian protection is 68.88%. Obviously, there is still a big gap between the joint venture Z03 and the average moving average.
For the test of pedestrian protection, many people may not pay attention to it, but we have to say that if a vehicle fails to protect pedestrians, the consequences will be unimaginable, not only causing great harm to pedestrians, but also causing great shadow to drivers. Xiao Bian believes that the average score rate of 68.88% is actually low, while the score rate of Hechuang Z03 is less than 60%, which is hard to say.
In addition, it should be noted that the results of the occupant protection test of Hechuang Z03 are also not satisfactory. The average score rate of this item is 73.08%, while the score of Hechuang Z03 is only 70.40%, which is not up to the pass line. In this view, the Hechuang Z03 is a model that is not safe both inside and outside.
We should be familiar with the brand of Hechuang Automobile, which was jointly established by GAC and Weilai. After a series of changes, there was almost no element of Weilai, but the gene of GAC was retained. Now it seems that the models under Hechuang are more like the shell changer of GAC Ai'an.
Of course, in order to make some distinctions, even the shell replacement is slightly different. For example, the length, width and height of Hechuang Z03 are 4602 * 1900 * 1600 mm, while the length, width and height of AION Y are 4535 * 1870 * 1650 mm. In terms of size, Hechuang Z03 appears larger.
The latest data shows that in November, the monthly sales of AION Y reached 11560 vehicles. Although the joint venture Z03 was inferior to AION Y, it still achieved 2368 vehicles in November. It should be noted that the sales volume of Hechuang vehicles in November was 3013, while the sales volume of Hechuang Z03 accounted for the vast majority.
Lack of unique genes makes it difficult to become a mainstream brand
In general, Hechuang Z03 has maintained the life of Hechuang Automobile, but what is worrying is that Hechuang Automobile lacks unique genes. How long can such a situation last? Of course, GAC has Ai'an, and Weilai also has its own brand in operation. Co creation has always been difficult to be really valued, and may continue to rely on GAC Ai'an. Although it is difficult to become a mainstream brand, it can survive.
