Chapter 099: Extravagant Security Configuration

What does it matter to buy a pregnant woman?

The salesmen of Masahiro Car Dealership were dumbfounded, they looked at each other, and they really couldn't figure out what connection there could be between the pregnant woman and the car model.

What makes them even more incomprehensible is that novices can't drive the Corolla Shuangqing E+ or Leiling Shuangqing E+?

They remember very clearly, just now Fang Yuan said that these two cars have EVCITY function, can be used as pure electric vehicles, very easy to drive, very suitable for novice driving, how to change now?

"yes, I want to know, too. Suddenly, Liu Song, who was standing in the distance, walked towards this side, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's all your fault, stabbing Lou Zi, right?" Fang Yuan glared at Liu Liang and the others, Liu Song's family was not his customers, Fang Yuan was unwilling to say anything more in front of them at this time, so as to avoid Liu Song's family misunderstanding that they wanted to sell cars, so they deliberately ruined their car purchase plan.

"Tell me about it?"

In fact, Fang Yuan thought too much, and Liu Song didn't doubt him.

From Fang Yuan's detailed comparison and introduction of the two cars, Liu Song has already determined that the salesman in front of him is reliable.

Liu Song looked at Fang Yuan, although he was younger than himself, he was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also practical, kind, and trustworthy.

After overhearing the salesman's conversation just now, he was curious why Fang Yuan said this, and he also wanted to know what model was more suitable for him than Corolla and Lei Ling.

In the face of everyone's questions, Fang Yuan didn't seem to be willing to talk about this topic anymore, but asked Liu Song: "Have you thought about it?" should you buy Corolla Shuangqing E+, or buy Leiling Shuangqing E+?"

"I don't buy either car. ”

"What?"

"Don't buy both?"

"You're not kidding. ”

Liu Song's words were like a bomb, which startled the crowd and shouted, and everyone looked at him in confusion, not understanding what Liu Song was about.

Liu Xingye looked at his son in confusion, walked briskly from behind, and asked, "Ah Song, how did you do it?" I think these two cars are very good, why do you say you won't buy them?"

"I just listened carefully to Fang Yuan's introduction, I feel that these two cars are really good, I don't care very much about fuel efficiency, what I care about most is that it is durable and not easy to break, it will not break down halfway, Xiaoyun will not cry helplessly on the road, and there is no limit to the number ......of green cards."

"Since these two cars are so good, why don't you want to buy them?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"Because you said it, these two cars can only be driven in strong hybrid and pure electric modes. Liu Song listened very carefully, and now he explains, and what he said is also the first to say, "Our family lives on a high floor, and it is not safe to pull wires down from the house, and I am worried that the property and the downstairs neighbors will give opinions......"

"You can use the charging pile that Toyota gave away for free, and it doesn't cost a penny to install. Fang Yuan gave Liu Song another idea.

"I also just remembered that the place where I live is an old community, there is no fixed parking space, even if the property agrees, where is the free charging pile?" Liu Song was very helpless, saying that the inability to charge was the reason why he did not buy Corolla Shuangqing E+ and Lei Ling Shuangqing E+, and it had nothing to do with Fang Yuan.

"I see. Liu Xingye nodded and admitted that his son was right, there is no private parking space in their community, and his Camry sometimes has to be parked outside, where to find a place to place charging piles?

Liu Song looked at Fang Yuan very expectantly, wondering what model he recommended.

"In that case, I'll tell you about it. "The model recommended by Fang Yuan is an imported champagne-colored Volvo V402018 Zhiya Edition, which was licensed in June 2018, with a current mileage of 38,000 kilometers, and the new car landed 274,500 that year, and now Zhenghong Automobile Dealer is listed 165,000......

"Volvo or imported?" The new car was sold for 274,500 yuan that year, and it was almost 110,000 yuan cheaper in less than two years? Liu Song was surprised by the value retention rate of this Volvo, and at the same time, he wanted to know why Fang Yuan recommended this car.

Liu Xingye was also happy, and asked Fang Yuan curiously: "What's going on with this V40? It's almost halved in two years?"

"Dad, don't ask about value preservation first?" Liu Song interrupted Liu Xingye first, and asked Fang Yuan to tell him why he recommended this car.

"Your wife is pregnant and you have to pay attention to the environment in the car. "The first reason why Fang Yuan recommends this Volvo V40 is that Volvo's models are very environmentally friendly and the formaldehyde content in the car is very low.

In order to ride comfortably and facilitate driving, there are a large number of plastic products, leather products, cotton fabrics, etc. in the car, but due to the different quality of materials used by various OEMs, toxic and harmful substances will be emitted from the floor, roof, seats, interior and even the soundproof cotton in the door.

For example, in order to save costs, some OEMs will not use virgin cotton at all, and all the cotton used is pitch-black recycled cotton, which causes the formaldehyde in the car to exceed the standard, and the new car just bought has a strange smell when sitting on it.

Especially after the high temperature and exposure in summer, the smell in the car is more pungent, not to mention driving for a long time, sitting for a while will produce dizziness, headache, chest tightness, sore throat, nausea!

Even if the daily ventilation and odor are used, carbon packets, photocatalysts, orange peels and other methods are used, there will still be a very large odor within a few years, which is very harmful to the health of passengers.

Volvo's models have been doing well in environmental protection, the floor is made of snow-white virgin cotton, the interior, leather products and other quality are very good, after many professional institutions tested, not to mention formaldehyde and other harmful substances are completely absent, can always be kept at a low level, many new cars do not have that pungent smell.

Liu Song's wife is now pregnant, and she needs to pay attention to the air quality in the car.

Fang Yuan is not saying that the Corolla Shuangqing E+ and Leiling Shuangqing E+ have serious pollution in the car, nor is it that the formaldehyde of these two cars exceeds the standard, but in comparison, Volvo has done better in environmental protection.

"yes, that's great. Liu Song and Liu Xingye, father and son, blushed with excitement, and loudly praised Fang Yuan's thoughtfulness.

After the little one is born, it is impossible to stay at home forever, you need to drive him to the hospital, take him out to play, and take him to and from school in the future.

They believe that if the formaldehyde in the car exceeds the standard, it will cause harm to the body of pregnant women, and the weak baby will not be able to stand it.

Chinese people are like this, they value their children far more than they care about themselves, they would rather save their own food and save the best for their children.

Therefore, just environmental protection has caused a strong resonance in the hearts of Liu Song and Liu Xingye, and they are very much looking forward to Fang Yuan's next explanation.

The second is that Liu Song's wife is a novice driver with insufficient driving experience and needs sufficient safety configuration.

The Corolla Shuangqing E+ 2019 1.8L flagship version with a manufacturer's guide price of 230,800 yuan has main and passenger seat airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags (air curtains) and tire pressure monitoring functions, seat belt unfastened reminders, ISOFIX child seat interface, ABS anti-lock braking, braking force distribution, brake assist, traction control, and body stability control.

As the top configuration, the safety configuration of Corolla Shuangqing E+ has been called strong, crushing most models in the same class, and even catching up with the big brother Camry.

Who would have expected that the landing price that year was only 34,000 Huaxia coins more expensive than the Corolla Shuangqing E+ manufacturer's guide price, and it was even more luxurious in terms of safety configuration.

In addition to the Corolla Shuangqing E+, there are main and passenger airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags (air curtains), tire pressure monitoring function, seat belt unfastened reminder, ISOFIX child seat interface, ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, and body stability control.

The Volvo V40 also has more knee airbags and parallel assist.

And there is also the world's first pedestrian protection airbag, that is, the same passive safety system of the Volkswagen CC sold to Qin Jie and his son.

Fang Yuan assumed that if the car hit a pedestrian, under normal circumstances, the pedestrian's waist and legs would be hit first, and the pedestrian would then hit the car again with his head and torso, and finally bounce into the air and fall to the ground.

If a car is in a collision at high speed, the pedestrian who has suffered a second injury is more likely to be more auspicious, especially if the head is hit several times, and intracranial hemorrhage will occur.

In the event of such a serious traffic accident, if your third-party insurance amount is low, it is time to test your financial resources, and you may lose all your savings for many years.

Volvo V40's first pedestrian protection airbag If this happens, the airbag hidden under the engine cover will automatically lift up and burst open to form a buffer, which can reduce the damage of the pedestrian's upper body hitting the engine cover, avoid secondary injury, and reduce the tragedy of traffic accidents.

It can turn serious injuries into minor injuries, and minor injuries in low-speed collisions into minor injuries, and at the same time, it also reduces the economic burden of the car owner and avoids the tragedy of pedestrians paying the price of blood and the car owner paying all their savings.

"So powerful?" Liu Song and Liu Xingye, father and son, glanced at each other, and liked this pedestrian protection airbag very much, which can protect pedestrians and benefit themselves.

"The Volvo V40 also has a much more powerful city security system. Fang Yuan said that the Volvo V40's urban security system is simply the protector of novice drivers.

At speeds of 50 kilometers per hour, this urban safety system enables Volvo V40 to detect obstacles in front of it and automatically brake, which is equivalent to if the owner is distracted and does not find the pedestrians or obstacles in front of him, then an old driver suddenly appears to help you step on the brakes to avoid accidents.

"It's amazing. Liu Song exclaimed in amazement, thinking that if the city safety system was used with pedestrian protection airbags, the accident should be minimized, right?

If it was not a pedestrian who hit it, but another vehicle, Fang Yuan told Liu Song and his son that there was no need to worry.

At that time, Europe found 36 cars from different car companies and different models and conducted a crash test.

This Volvo V40 successfully knocked out all its opponents and achieved the highest score in history, of which the protection of the driver is 98%, and the safety configuration is 100% score, which is absolutely crushing the results of other car companies.

"It's okay to crash, what if it hits a wall?" Liu Liang suddenly had a whim, and suddenly asked what to do if this Volvo V40 hit the wall?

"You're raising the bar. For Liu Liang's strange assumptions, even Liu Song couldn't stand it, and laughed and scolded which car could hit the reinforced concrete? Who has nothing to do to hit the wall?

"Do you know why Volvo has always insisted on the horizontal engine layout?" Fang Yuan did not directly answer Liu Liang's question, but asked him if he knew that Volvo knew that the transverse engine was easy to cause a large turning radius, but it still stubbornly did not change?

"I don't know?" Liu Liang shook his head stunned, to be honest, he couldn't tell the difference between transverse and longitudinal engines.

"Absolutely. Fang Yuan gave one of the most obvious examples.

Another Volvo car, the V60, is powered by the N20 used in the BMW 328Li.

BMW's engines are all longitudinal, and after Volvo brought it, it was transverse according to its habits.

The two cars have the same output data, paired with the same 8AT gearbox, and even the official acceleration time of 100 km/h is the same as the BMW 328Li in 6.3 seconds.

But the actual feeling of driving is still different, for example, the turning radius of the Volvo V60 is relatively large.

If you make a U-turn in a narrow place, and some cars can pass in one direction, the V60 may need two, or even three.

The reason why Volvo's turning radius is so large is that Volvo has mainly considered safety when designing, and has always insisted on using a horizontal engine layout.

A long in-line engine with a gearbox is crammed horizontally into the V60's cabin, and since the entire powertrain takes up a lot of lateral space in the cabin, this results in very little steering space on the left and right wheels, so the turning radius is large.

But it is precisely because of this layout that in the event of a head-on collision, the engine compartment has more room for collapse, which can absorb the energy of the collision as much as possible and protect the safety of the occupants.

Liu Song said to the other party with a sense of understanding: "I know, the engine you just said has more room for collapse laterally, coupled with the urban safety system, pedestrian protection airbags, and strong body structure, if it hits the wall at high speed, the car will definitely be scrapped, and people may not be in danger of life." ”

"Pretty much. Fang Yuan told everyone that Volvo also has a unique ability to protect the safety of passengers, that is, in addition to the main and passenger seat airbags in the car, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags (air curtains), knee airbags can provide protection, Volvo's three-point seat belt can be instantly contracted, the seat can also be instantly wrapped, and the driver is protected like a silkworm chrysalis with a soft seat. ”

"No royalties?" everyone was completely convinced of Volvo, lamenting that this car company was really heartbroken for safety.

"The Volvo V40 also has an automatic parking system that is very practical for women, and new driving technologies such as lane departure prevention system, automatic traffic sign recognition device, and automatic high beam adjustment system for headlights. What Fang Yuan praised the most was that the models of this level were equipped with BLIS blind spot information system.

Fang Yuan suddenly stopped and asked Liu Xingye, "Mr. Liu, do you have a car at home?"

Liu Xingye didn't know what Fang Yuan was asking for, but he still answered truthfully: "Yes, there is an eighth-generation Camry that I usually drive." ”

Fang Yuan continued to ask: "Mr. Liu, when you were trying to change lanes, did you encounter a situation where a car suddenly came at high speed from behind?"

"Yes. Liu Xingye said that his driving skills are not good, and every time he encounters this situation, he can be scared into a cold sweat.

"With Volvo's BLIS blind spot information system, there is no need to worry about it at all. Fang Yuan said that the BLIS blind spot information system uses a rear-facing digital infrared camera installed in the door mirror to monitor the traffic flow on both sides of the car at all times.

When a car enters your mirror blind spot, the system will warn you through a warning light on the inside of the A-pillar.

Together with the mirrors, this system allows you to quickly assess the feasibility of changing lines. Activated at speeds above 10 kilometers per hour, the system reacts to any type of vehicle above the motorcycle, working just as well day and night as it gets.

"Good, good, good. Liu Xingye and Liu Song said a few good words in unison, after Fang Yuan's explanation, they knew that this Volvo V40 has so many safety configurations installed from front to back, from the inside to the outside, as long as they don't die when driving, they will be fine at all.

Liu Song was so happy that he couldn't help but ask: "Can I take a look at this Volvo V40?"
