How Good is the Safety of MPVs?
1 Answers
The relevant information is introduced as follows: 1. Safety of MPVs: Compared to SUVs and sedans, the safety of MPVs is generally poorer due to their inherent body structure. MPVs pursue absolute spaciousness, often designing shorter engine compartments and luggage compartments to make way for passenger space. In the event of a collision, the crumple zones are relatively smaller, resulting in greater impact on passengers inside the vehicle. Especially for front-seat passengers and third-row passengers, the risks are higher during frontal and rear-end collisions. 2. Crash tests: The structural safety of MPVs is inferior to that of sedans and SUVs. 3. Curb weight: MPVs have a relatively heavy curb weight, which provides an advantage in actual collisions compared to crash tests. However, it should be noted that SUVs in the same price range are not lighter than MPVs.
