With its excellent safety performance, Hongqi H5 demonstrated its strength in various tests such as occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and active safety. It won the 2018 version of C-NCAP five-star safety evaluation with an excellent score of 87.5%;
As the first blockbuster model after the release of the new Hongqi strategy, the Hongqi H5 leads Chinese brands with five-star safety and new quality under the most stringent C-NCAP standard in history.
2018 version of C-NCAP first batch of model evaluation results conference
On September 28, the China Automotive Technology Research Center released the first batch of vehicle evaluation results of the 2018 version of C-NCAP. With its excellent safety performance, Hongqi H5 demonstrated its strength in various tests such as occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and active safety, and won the 2018 version of C-NCAP five-star safety evaluation with an excellent score rate of 87.5%.
C-NCAP is the authoritative evaluation procedure for the safety performance of new cars in our country. It has comprehensive professional experience and technology in automobile crash tests in China. It is known for its fairness, impartiality and openness by randomly purchasing new cars. With the continuous development of technology, C-NCAP has also experienced the improvement of multiple versions in 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2015, and this year introduced the 2018 version of the new standard.
The latest version of C-NCAP in 2018 added active and passive safety tests such as "pedestrian protection test" and "vehicle automatic emergency braking system (AEB) test", and many of the original tests also improved the parameter standards. Overall, the C-NCAP under the new standard in 2018 can be called "the most stringent safety evaluation in history", and it is also more authoritative and reference value, which has attracted the attention of the industry and the public. The high standards greatly increased the difficulty of the test models to obtain five stars. The first batch of 7 models participated in the test. Three models, including the Hongqi H5, received five stars, the remaining one model received four stars, and the other three models received two stars. It can be seen that the results of the Hongqi H5 are full of gold.

360 ° all-round passive safety protection
In recent years, pedestrian protection has been an important dimension in the field of automotive safety. The new version of C-NCAP has joined the pedestrian protection project, which not only strictly and scientifically, but also tests the safety of vehicles in the design of the shape. In this regard, the design concept of Hongqi H5 "never compromises on safety", which deeply integrates Chinese excellent culture and modern science and technology, so that the shape of the whole vehicle is not only fashionable and beautiful, but also scientifically protects pedestrian safety. Especially the classic design of the front face of the car with mountains and waterfalls provides enough space for energy absorption.
The test carried out collision tests on pedestrians’ heads, legs and pelvis bones. The results showed that in the case of a collision with pedestrians, Hongqi H5 can make pedestrians more inclined to fall on the car, and its unique design can dissipate most of the energy and effectively reduce the degree of pedestrian damage.
In addition to the new items in passive safety, the old version of C-NCAP evaluation items have also been improved and perfected. In the frontal 100% crash test, 40% offset crash and side crash test of the deformable mobile barrier, the Hongqi H5 performed well. This is due to the robust and reasonable body structure design of the Hongqi H5, the use of ultra-high-strength body materials with a utilization rate of 60%, and the leading manufacturing process. After the collision, the internal shape of the cockpit of the Hongqi H5 remains intact, the airbags are normally detonated, and the doors are normally unlocked. While effectively ensuring the living space in the passenger car, it also provides sufficient passenger protection and smooth escape routes.
In the low-speed rear collision neck protection test (hereinafter referred to as the "whip test"), the seat and seat belt configuration of Hongqi H5 came into play. After the new standard increases the collision speed, the occupants in the car can still be firmly fixed in the seat, and with solid craftsmanship and elegant skeleton design, its seat can still provide comprehensive protection for the key part of the human body – the head and neck.
Leading technology, bringing "all-excellent" active security solutions
The new version of C-NCAP is based on the study of Chinese consumers’ driving habits and the summary analysis of Chinese road conditions, adding active safety pilot projects, which also requires automakers to invest more energy and R & D and manufacturing costs in active safety.
Therefore, in terms of active safety protection, Hongqi H5 has optimized and upgraded the functions of a number of technological configurations. In this AEB system performance test, the outstanding performance of Hongqi H5’s AEB active braking system demonstrates the profound technical strength of the Hongqi brand. During driving, the system can detect the distance to the car in front, obstacles, and pedestrians, and issue an alarm in a timely manner. In the case that the driver does not take braking measures in time, the AEB system will start in time, so that the car can quickly and automatically brake, preventing traffic accidents in advance.
In addition, in this ESC system performance test, compared with the ESP 9.1 version that is currently relatively common in the industry, the Bosch 9.3 ESP system equipped with the Hongqi H5 has a faster response, lower energy consumption, and greatly improved working noise. At the same time, it has strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability and better adaptability and reliability in the face of harsh environments.
There is no doubt that the all-round active and passive safety protection demonstrates the strong product strength of Hongqi H5. Not only that, whether it is a fashionable and young design or a high-intelligence interconnected system, Hongqi H5 has been widely recognized by the market and users with its strong comprehensive strength.
It can be said that from the outstanding performance of the Hongqi H5, the Hongqi brand is meeting consumers’ pursuit of "better life and wonderful travel" in the new era with practical actions. As the first blockbuster model after the release of the new Hongqi strategy, the Hongqi H5 has been recognized as a pioneer, not only writing a new chapter of the five-star safety and new quality of the Chinese brand, but also a comprehensive embodiment of the strong strength of the Hongqi brand and even the Chinese brand.
