How is the crash test performance of the Envision?
2 Answers
The Envision received a 4.5-star crash test rating, which is quite good. The crash tests include: 100% overlap rigid barrier frontal impact test, 40% overlap deformable barrier frontal impact test, and deformable moving barrier side impact test. The scores from these crash tests are combined to determine the overall crash rating. The Envision is a new-generation strategic model launched by Shanghai GM, inheriting the design essence of the ENVISION Vision concept car. It is available with 1.5T and 2.0T engine options, each with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants. The 1.5T is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T comes with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
I've driven the Envision several times, and its crash test performance is truly outstanding. It scored a five-star rating in China's C-NCAP tests, with particularly impressive results in frontal and side impact tests. The body structure uses high-strength steel to absorb energy during collisions and protect occupants, plus it comes standard with multiple airbags. I recall the 2022 model also received the Top Safety Pick award from the U.S. IIHS, passing even the challenging small overlap front test. In daily driving, I find its active safety systems like automatic emergency braking very practical for reducing accident risks. While scores may vary slightly between testing agencies, overall this SUV provides great peace of mind for families, and you won't regret choosing it. Remember, crash test ratings aren't just about scores - proper maintenance and regular inspections are always good habits to combine with those safety features.
