Since the end of June, the South China region has experienced a period of sustained heavy rain, some cities and counties in the flood emergency, the city observatory issued individual storm “orange alert.” Days of heavy rainfall for the major city streets serious water, bring to a serious inconvenience to traffic, traffic accidents are frequent.

The face of cars become indispensable in our daily lives means of transport, frequent heavy rain in the summer weather, what kind of car be considered safe?

Of course, the safety car in the rain is the owner of the first test of the traffic awareness: Attention must be controlled traffic on rainy days good speed and vehicle distance, do not slam the brakes; wading depth must not exceed the engine cover, front bumper if the depth exceeds , driving should be more attention; In addition, the rainy parking must not turn off, once the water will not be able to start the engine; particular attention to the fact that many drivers used to reduce the tire pressure when driving on rainy days to increase the friction, this method is undesirable, it is more likely to cause tire slip … …

Rainy road not only requires drivers to have a good rainy day driving experience, but also the safety of car design, configuration, there are many requirements. After all, can not make bricks without straw, if the car itself is the lack of necessary safety devices, then there is nothing the security. So, what kind of car can we guarantee that under normal weather conditions, but also ensure that rain, snow and other extreme weather driving safe? Now, I might take more fire has been sold in the market, but good overall performance – of course I like, – Fox as an example to explore.

First, the rain driving must “fundamentals” of good, because the chassis instability in slippery road surface anti-roll capacity is not good, easy to roll out the accident. As we all know, based on Volvo’s safety from the chassis, while Fox uses the same chassis with the Volvo S40, no doubt from the “fundamentals” of the fine on the safety of inherited tradition of Volvo. From the suspension point of view, Fox is more common with McPherson independent front suspension, rear suspension arm with the vertical structure with a horizontal arm, which is an independent suspension, together with the improved coil spring hydraulic type bushings to resolve the traditional McPherson independent front suspension and steering shortage, so that more stable braking curve, which effectively prevent the wet road when cornering points allowed, braking instability and other issues when the body, comprehensively improve the body’s anti-roll capability.

Fox’s C3P chassis, with the Volvo S40 is the same production platform

Second, the security configuration, such as ABS + EBD, ESP vehicle stability system, even in normal times may not feel it, but on rainy days when their role was more obvious on the show. Like Fox Sports Edition comes standard with the ESP vehicle stability system that can effectively control the cornering when the rear wheel drift prone to the phenomenon, to prevent the body sliding around in the rainy weather, traffic has greatly increased the safety factor.

In addition, the Fox transmission also made enormous strides in its new automated manual transmission features powerful aid put on hold, once the water transmission fails, the gear will be limited to three gears and reverse gear, can provide slow ability to move forward with the back power. Meanwhile, a quick refueling stop, fast release of the accelerator pedal, the transmission will maintain the existing gear, to improve the engine braking force, and also features a downhill manner, removed from the car in the rain “strike” embarrassment.

The Fox advocated the “five elements of security” system, damage control on the safety, security, security from the measure, dangerous road conditions rainy day also played a very good protection. We all know that driving a small impact on rainy days, small friction may occur more than usual, while Fox’s use of non-injury to the external body design, front and rear bumpers to withstand 15km / h crash, it will not come to the main structure of the body hurt great extent, can ensure vehicle personnel, and pedestrian safety; even if the collision occurred in a large, high steel cage body can guarantee the integrity of the collision of space around the car, because Fox’s interior is absorbable impact force of the polymer, effectively avoiding the rupture due to interior damage caused by people.

In recent years, SUV models as well-known, ordinary people have gradually moved into the home, a survey of SUV ownership in China is rapidly increasing, with the SUV market demand increases, more and more car manufacturers to join production the ranks of SUV production, making the market a wide range of SUV models appear to consumers overwhelmed.

The face of so many models, consumers will know what to do when, and blind either severely or to buy a car as the ultimate choice for most consumers, it is not, or everyone is geared to high prices The model is the best then, the answer is certainly negative.

Domestic high-end SUV market has been imported brands are exclusive, the premium for most consumers Wang cars disappointed, compared with the lower prices of domestic SUV to become a favorite of most consumers, and today we see SUV in the end about how several of their own brands. Bring it on the market and compares the amount retained, the author there are no specific data, after all, one of the few in the SUV manufacturer, the Changfeng appeared more as a military Ju Liang, Nan Yi to see in their daily lives, I live in the city of Jinan on the point of view, Harvard H3 does not account for a small share, or even often see the extended version, there are so many consumers using the HARP H3, is not it indicates that it is the best . As a relatively successful Great Wall Motor Vehicle, Hover H3 no highlights to speak of, may be beautiful appearance attracted the attention of consumers, but the SUV was real terms, H3 is no advantage, SUV cars of the who represented the ultimate H3, driving experience and no different car, running in the city may be able to count a King, but out of the flat roads, in addition to high chassis can guarantee the adoption of higher things, you want to use it off-road is simply wishful thinking.

Chinese Paladin known as the Dongfeng Odin, the highest price reached 17 million and more, these 17 million it is hidden behind a wealth of configuration and some advanced technology, even so failed to achieve better market performance, which is Why? And the other 10 million compared to the price of SUV, Odin has more engine power in addition to off-road ability of these things, there is little advantage, but for the 1.9 tons of curb mass is also considered high-power engine just enough so that Since there is no cost to speak of, if you as a consumer, you will spend 70,000 to buy the oil tiger with those?

Cheap impotence, high waste, so the market on the lack of a cost-effective models, and the introduction of Changfeng CS7 just solved this problem, the price of just more than 10 million consumers within an acceptable range, a tough, professional Cross-country production experience Gaorenyichou, study its configuration, professional SUV chassis is not found in other similarly priced models, not only ensures the continuation of comfort has a strong off-road SUV type, Mitsubishi advanced four-wheel drive system is CS7 of the cost increase, no matter when and where in the circumstances, it can always lead the safety of people and vehicles travel out of the woods well.

SUV market in the form of the current terms, only low-end market is dominated by its own brand, to have an inexpensive high-quality models is already the dream of things that consumers, and CS7 of the timely availability and does not round up fewer people cross-country cross-country dream car to blind consumers the right choice.

With the 2009 China surpassed the U.S. as the world’s largest auto market, more and more foreign car manufacturers regard the sights of China, intended to grab points in the greater China market. In foreign giants Biezu Jin to prepare the force, the international auto market has burst, “recall” incident, which so many foreign car manufacturers tears, makes more joint ventures in China and imported brands consumers lost confidence.

International frequent occurrence of “recall” incident to consumers and manufacturers in China has sounded the alarm once again sparked a strong product quality concerns, many multinational enterprises in product quality car been questioned, but the relative strength of the brand and technology in Department of cars are inferior to China in this war after another quality win, win more Chinese consumers trust and praise. Recently, rumors of the Chinese system is the leading brand car sponsored by Dongfeng Fengshen “conquer five continents” quality journey information, the purpose is to declare to the world the quality of Chinese cars that are world class, so that more domestic consumption understand the Chinese system car, to understand the Chinese system of Dongfeng Aeolus brand.

It is understood that “to conquer five continents” quality journey will span 23 countries and regions, which made the vehicle very demanding performance requirements. Throughout the route, full of challenging sections, which requires the vehicle itself must have very good control and strong environmental adaptability. As the person in charge of this event is said to Shu Xiaofeng, and Chinese car brands, the completion of this “conquer five continents,” the quality of the tour activities, to show the world the strength of the Chinese car brands.

China’s auto industry started late, in the manufacturing technology and production techniques behind than abroad, but with the domestic auto industry in recent years, speeding development, China has begun to gradually reduce the vehicle system with the strength of the large foreign brands gap, especially in domestic more evident, occupying low-end market, China has always been the brand series products have begun to penetrate the high-end market, while the plot and even the world of high-end domestic car market is the development direction of China Department of cars. Chinese cars have a strong rise, the international automotive market downturn, many foreign auto manufacturers have made changes in marketing strategy in China, producing low-end models with the Chinese Department of cars to snatch the market.

And the Chinese Department of cars to grab the market, we must have enough capital. Chinese car through its own development department, has been achieved in the market reputation of consumers in many foreign brands continue to fall into, “recalled the door” when the Chinese Department of cars with perfect image quality in the domestic car market has been a firm footing . I believe in the future there will be more Chinese brands of shadow lines, while the activities of selected Chinese system of this brand as a dedicated vehicle, even more clearly the Chinese Department of brand strength and the great potential of Accumulate.

I already mentioned, this event aims to show the world the strength of the Chinese auto brands, so the choice of vehicles is particularly important. First of all, must be an absolute leader in the domestic automotive industry companies, and secondly, the quality of their products jointly approved by the majority of consumers. It is out of the door, by no means representative of their own, but the Chinese system car, is the highest level of the entire Chinese automotive industry. Dare to bear the responsibility of the enterprise, the quality is not perfect protection, there is no way the self-confidence.

After 1000 pick and chose, Shu Xiaofeng team chose S30 and Dongfeng Dongfeng Aeolus Aeolus H30 as a special vehicle of this event. According to the data, these two cars as a home-Aeolus wind models, in the course of four years of development, Dongfeng Fengshen S30 accumulated the 2123 test, test mileage has reached 3.12 million km, only The Department of the brand in China occupies an irreplaceable position.

Department of cars as the Chinese public to show the world the first time a major event, not only in showing the world the strength of the Chinese auto brands, Dongfeng Fengshen also highlights the courage and determination first in the world, and will lead China to the world series car confidence. We believe that with the rapid development of China’s auto industry, there will be more “wind” out of the door to the world, become the dominant trend of the development of the world leader in automotive.

For most regions of China, in May is a lukewarm season for tourist travel. But the high incidence of traffic accidents so many people travel as perilous. For yet another plan to purchase a car for prospective owners to choose a higher safety car is one of the most sensible choice.

To facilitate family travel models, the first is to a large space, power is moderate, the chassis has some highly appropriate capacity. Therefore, this article mainly 8-15 million in prices of intermediate grade select several active safety and passive safety are remarkable models for your reference.

1, golf 6 1.4TSI DSG (price: 135 800 manual, automatic 149 800)

15 million from the price, all very balanced and not a lot of models, considered one of the Golf 6. And in the public TSI + DSG powertrain, this is a relatively cheap and very pure descent model. Golf is a very old and very successful model, and the Jetta, the car known as the mass of God. Only, compared to Jetta, Golf is a higher-level models, low-key appearance conceal its excellent quality of the ride and safety.
At this level of vehicle safety, the four-wheel disc brakes and master Fu Jia and front side air bags become standard. The range for the driving control of the electronic equipment to join, have the Golf 6, active safety to an extreme. 1.4T turbocharged engine to make very good acceleration, braking performance is also commendable.
In everyday use, golf, humanized design, while not as some Japanese cars as dazzling, but practicality is still quite good, and trunk space than Hideo those competing to be slightly larger than a hatchback number. Vehicle storage space to use relatively high, but take the space because the PQ35 platform, 2578mm wheelbase restriction is not as satisfactory.
Golf 6 ultimate expression of security in the crash test, in the European NCAP safety test golf 6 was 5 star. Front collision, the Golf 6 driver head, chest, thighs and feet are the best protection. Most of the body front passenger have been very effective protection, only a slight loss of driver’s leg some points. Side impact test, the vehicle is in place to protect the driver’s head, this car comes standard with side airbags and air curtains are not unrelated.

God golf 6 car legend, the excellent safety performance with the performance to continue transmission.

Second, Ford Focus (price :11.89-147900 yuan)

Focus on the movement of the Chinese automobile market are best Jiajiao one of the manufacturers and some good exercise performance and appropriate for the capacity of families most in need of travel. Fox Sports Performance is not just to pass the vehicle parameters and configuration to reflect, but years of track campaign results.
Over the years, whether it is a world-class or domestic CTCC WRC competition, Fox had no security incidents, and its motion performance is frequently set through access to a variety of titles to support. Many models in the Chinese automobile market, the European cars has always been known for safety, wide body design, adequate strength and thickness of the material, while Fox’s security, is derived from the production design of Fox’s body mechanism, Strengthening the car side of the rigid and reduce the possibility of A-pillar deformation, four high-rigidity steel beams diagonal crash, accidents, offset side impact force to prevent harm to members of the door retraction.
As a family car in the Fox, from the active safety and passive safety, even after the accident have been designed out, saying it was the safest family car is also not an exaggeration. This is Fox’s “five elements of security design”, respectively, including safe driving, safe avoidance, safety loss control, safety protection and safety from the five aspects.
Safe driving is not talking about the safety awareness of drivers, but the normal driving time to facilitate the use of cockpit design, to avoid the driver because the operation in motion the process inconvenient distraction leading to security risks. For example: the driver’s seat around the control buttons are basically around the driver, this design allows the driver to operate a minimum of movement, not the driver’s attention too much scattered; mirror has a heating and fog button; included PATS
Password security chip, full-function remote control design, can also remote control windows, skylights, and the trunk open and close, safe and convenient operation, ensure that the vehicle anti-theft Anti-hijacking security. Sort of design, Fox’s car a little careful as long as the faithful will be able to find Fox designer’s intentions.
Second, Fox’s security design is to enhance handling, for steering, brakes and so accurate. The Fox’s C3P chassis and independent suspension allows SLA to more accurate, and can greatly improve comfort. Also, if it can not avoid bump and scraped the side, how to protect the safety of personnel within and outside the car becomes particularly important. For example, the bumper and hood are given a light knock out light touch in the design, minor collision will not cause great harm to pedestrians; panel smooth also to consider the safety front. Control materials are used in soft materials, if the collision, to prevent the front passenger stabbed.
From the security and safety in the area, Fox and Golf 6 as mentioned above, 5-star European crash and C-NCAP5 star honors. This level of security are in serious yaw, roll situations occur, it required the utmost to ensure the safety of personnel. Fox lot with reinforced steel beams, car in serious collision, to prevent body deformation, so that officers can not only reduce vehicle damage, and can successfully open the door, as soon as possible after the accident occurred in the acceptance of assistance from the body.
Clearly, Fox’s “five elements of security design” is sufficient to carry out all-directional vehicle occupant protection, completely worth enough on its security trust. Fox and other cars from recent years, even a large truck full of car after a traffic accident case of staff intact corroborated.
Safety performance from the field, to sell off units on the market performance of the Fox family have called for traveling safety Jiajiao model.

3, Imperial EC7 (price :7.98-111800 yuan)

Dorsett EC7 as you will be recommended for travel to the safety of mid-size car, not out of my own patriotism, but the Imperial EC7 itself as suitable for travel with the security of mid-size car’s quality standards. Of course, the Imperial EC7 performance is an indirect testimony to China’s own brand cars in the years progress.
Dorsett as Geely models currently on sale at most high-end, either from the form or the product itself on the quality of all people has changed the image of Geely. EC718 product characteristics are very atmospheric, and at acceptable performance, the overall work is close to a joint venture with the price model. From outside to inside the upgrade amounts to a Butterfly, the most direct result is finally dare to own brand products competing against the courage of a joint venture brand products.
Dorsett about security only through its configuration to reflect, before and after the disc, Lord Fujia airbags as standard equipment the whole system, at a higher point configuration adds front side airbags; and ABS + EBD and other beneficial control the traffic profile the whole system of electronic equipment have become standard in all high-level flagship, the brake assist, traction control, vehicle stability control and other electronic equipment ranging, with the most respected golf earlier in this configuration quite 6. And the difference between the price, almost poor out of money a mini car.
In fact, Dorsett Best of the whole system security configuration standard of the “emergency brake Warning Light features dual flash” and “rear-view mirror heating.” In many models which are more common, while the former is usually in some high-end models with. May need to slam the brakes in an emergency vehicle with warning lights, double flash when prompted participants to pay attention to other traffic, to avoid an accident caused a chain rear-end and secondary.
In addition, Imperial also has a configuration can play the role of active safety, that is, some models equipped with the “tire pressure monitoring device”, although this technology has applications in many models also are not considered what high-tech, But as its own brand of Imperial, with this configuration can be considered a motive.
Conclusion:
In fact, we all know, “no safety car, only the security people.” Had traveling experience in the Sichuan-Tibet line will find that those who turned in the street, off a cliff to safety are known SUV. Of course, this does not mean that security is not important, different cars in different security configurations, can effectively reduce the incidence of accidents, Huo Zhe Hou accident occurred, to the more passive occupant Tigong the protection next Teng Zui Di.
In theory, the higher price models in the security configuration should be more abundant, but many carts security configuration of the vehicle height is not particularly suitable for home, especially not for family travel use. Mainstream family cars in China is the market, car prices have gradually Tandi trend. To meet various application requirements see the family home, mid-size car is the family car’s ceiling, a higher-level models, and not for our family trips more help and fun.
Several cars, the whole Fox security more reliable, after dozens of its high demand games and 500 000 owners of common tests. And the recommended price of several different models for security-conscious owners of reference, can be selected according to their own financial resources.

Since January 2008, Zhejiang youth group to join the domestic passenger car market, except for a few of the show to find its shadow, has been low-key act was hard to clear. Pang, Chairman of young car until the young people of “First Financial Daily” and other media, it disclosed the Lotus Development Goals, the next three years, 2009, 10 000 ~ 2 million; 2010 30 000 5 million; 2011 , of over 10 million units. In the financial turmoil sweeping the globe today, the Lotus Cars Lotus three-year plan is a great leap forward or Accumulate? Lotus Cars ambitious.

Although the youth group involved in passenger cars, heavy trucks, three passenger cars market, but for the majority of people are still unfamiliar, whether before or cooperation with the German Neoplan cooperation with the Man, to the present cooperation with the United Kingdom Lotus Manufacturing Passenger car has been very low-key young act. Youth Group from the acquisition of controlling your flight in 2004 Skylark Automobile Co., Ltd., won the car production license, after five years of preparation, global resources, implementation of the powerful combination of advantages complement and build three platforms, three major areas of development to achieve steady development. Youth Group until 2008, with two cars racing and competing Wyatt, Youth Group, entered the passenger car market, so that the people understand that the Lotus cars.

Shanghai Auto Show, at the thirteenth, although the major automobile manufacturers experienced a year of “winter car”, but depression is not shown sight. It is worth mentioning that the car industry, just steps such as Lotus cars, the layout of their exhibition view, giving up one majestic feeling. Participation of all models to be the most attractive Exige
270E sports car, Lotus is well known in the sports car market has always been the technology rule the roost, and its research and development of various technologies on the car’s development of great significance, the world’s leading luxury sports car Bugatti, etc. are developed using Lotus technology. Youth Group, which is also being actively imported sports car production and sales in China.

In the financial turmoil sweeping the world in 2009, Lotus cars did not show the slightest fear, but rather on Adversity. Lotus Cars later this year will be completed in the country and paving the 100 4S shops, selling services nationwide 12 auto test center. In addition, the Lotus products to enhance the competitiveness of the follow-up, Lotus Cars has built a strong team of eye method, Jaguar from the British company hired senior automotive executives and engineers, we can see reflected in its ambitions. In its product quality, performance will not disappoint Lotus, Lotus technically have chosen to bring the line of vehicle technology platform entirely from abroad. Rely on foreign support, youth group made passenger cars and heavy trucks have been exported to all major car manufacturing country, and high-end luxury passenger cars in the domestic market accounted for 90% share. Youth With advanced technology, run their own hungry brand, led the life of young car grow than many ordinary cars, the average reached 3 million kilometers without overhaul. Speak louder than words, I believe that young people in the car on the performance of the Group will in the floor.

Form of this predicament in the international economy of 2009, youth groups a series of actions, not only showing the world the strength of Lotus, but also let us feel the ambition of youth and vigor Automotive Group, “Lotus” will be in China’s auto market bloom? Youth Group will not continue to write in the luxury passenger car industry’s glory? Let us wait and see.
