Did you know that if you have a crash in this made in China Brilliance BS-4 sedan at 64km/h, you’ll be facing certain death?! Germany’s ADAC has recently done the crash test, and the result is shockingly bad!
The test was performed under EuroNCAP standards, and it was done by Germans, so be sure that it’s as precise as it can get. The worst part of the car is the front passengers compartment. In frontal impact at 64km/h it completely collapses. It probably means that the car’s only crumple zones are driver’s and passenger’s heads!
It’s not just the passengers who are in danger! The Brilliance achieved poor results in child and pedestrian safety as well. The car has airbags of course, but because of steering column’s poor design, at the event of a crash it comes straight through the cabin and into the driver’s face! So the airbag potentially increases the chance of injury!
The car has no electronic driving guides whatsoever, nevertheless it starts at 15,990 euros in the Europe and if you want it with 1.8 liter engine, it’s 17,550 euros! China should be sanctioned!
Notice! Brilliance has achieved Zero stars under new ENCAP standards. Based on the old regulations it would get 3 stars.
