Does the Southeast DX3 have autonomous emergency braking?

Southeast DX3 does not come with autonomous emergency braking configuration across all models. Here is an introduction about the Southeast DX3: 1. The Southeast DX3 currently available models include the 2018 and 2019 versions, divided into China V and China VI emission standards. 2. The Southeast DX3 in-market models are equipped with two engine options: 1.5L and 1.5T, paired with two transmission types: 5-speed manual transmission and CVT continuously variable transmission. Additional information: Autonomous emergency braking is designed to decelerate the vehicle in emergency situations until it comes to a complete stop. It serves as an auxiliary measure to alert the driver. Vehicles equipped with this function may not necessarily bring the vehicle to a full stop.

My experience with the Soueast DX3 is that this model generally doesn't come equipped with autonomous emergency braking (AEB) unless it's the flagship or top-trim version. The AEB system automatically detects obstacles ahead and applies emergency braking to prevent collisions, which is considered an advanced safety feature. Most Soueast DX3 variants are base models primarily relying on conventional ABS and EBD systems, requiring manual braking. I recommend regularly checking brake pad wear and system maintenance, and never overlook tire pressure, as these measures can significantly reduce accident risks. For those seeking upgrades, aftermarket assistance devices can be installed, but it's crucial to visit professional shops to ensure compatibility. Ultimately, maintaining safe following distances and staying focused while driving – especially in congested urban areas – remains the most reliable safety practice.

I've thought about this issue. The Southeast DX3 might have active braking in some years' top trim versions, like the 2020 model with the intelligent driving package. The active braking system uses radar to scan the distance to the vehicle ahead and automatically brakes before a collision. The base model DX3 doesn't have this feature because it's positioned as an economical SUV with tight cost control. I recommend checking the owner's manual or asking the 4S store to confirm the specific configuration. Don't rely on automatic systems during daily driving—I prefer manually anticipating road conditions, and adding a good dash cam can also assist with safety. If the budget allows, consider vehicles in the same class like Geely or Haval, which come with standard active safety features for more peace of mind.

From a safety perspective, the Southeast DX3 may not necessarily come with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), and the base model definitely does not. AEB can help prevent rear-end collisions, especially in high-speed scenarios, thereby reducing injury and fatality rates. Without it, drivers must rely on good driving habits for prevention, such as maintaining sufficient safe distances during peak hours in the morning and evening, and avoiding phone use. Regular maintenance of the braking system is crucial—I’ve seen cases where wear led to brake failure. Consider investing in aftermarket devices like ADAS boxes, which are simple to install. Remember, passive safety features like airbags are also important; the DX3’s standard offerings in this regard are decent, but active safety systems are the real game-changers.
