The safety features of the Yusheng S350 include: driver and passenger airbags, tire pressure monitoring, front seat belt reminder, ISOFIX child seat interface, ABS child seat interface, ABS anti-lock braking system, and brake force distribution system. Taking the 2020 Yusheng S350 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category with body dimensions of 4710mm in length, 1895mm in width, and 1845mm in height, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 67 liters. The 2020 Yusheng S350 features a double-wishbone coil spring independent front suspension and a five-link coil spring non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 220PS, a maximum power of 162kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

















The passive safety features of this Yusheng S350 are quite comprehensive, which is something I personally pay a lot of attention to. In addition to airbags for both the driver and front passenger, the vehicle body incorporates a significant amount of high-strength steel reinforcement, particularly in the front section, which can absorb energy and deform during a collision without collapsing into the cabin. The chassis uses a body-on-frame structure, essentially meaning it has a sturdy ladder frame, providing high overall rigidity. This ensures the body doesn’t creak or rattle when driving on rough roads, and you can feel more confident when going over potholes. The doors are equipped with anti-collision beams, and all four windows feature one-touch up/down with anti-pinch protection, which is especially thoughtful for families with young children. Additionally, the front seats come with pre-tensioning and load-limiting seatbelts, which prevent chest discomfort during sudden braking, and the rear seats are fitted with ISOFIX child seat anchors.

Driving this type of off-road vehicle is most challenging in rainy conditions due to slipping. The S350 is equipped with ABS plus EBD anti-lock braking systems. When braking on snowy days, you can feel the wheels performing intermittent braking, preventing the vehicle from skidding. Its built-in ESP anti-skid system is very user-friendly for beginners. Once, when I sharply turned the steering wheel on muddy terrain and the car started to skid sideways, the system forcefully pulled it back. The hill start assist and hill descent control are very practical. Driving in Chongqing, even on steep underground garage ramps, releasing the brake allows the car to stay in place for two seconds. The rearview camera has decent clarity, and with the radar, I can take my time reversing even at night. Additionally, the full-size spare tire is mounted under the trunk, providing an extra safety measure.

For off-road safety features, pay special attention to the chassis. This vehicle comes with a part-time four-wheel drive system and a rear differential lock. Once when stuck in a riverbed, engaging the differential lock got me out immediately. The tire size is 265/65/R17 with thick sidewalls that can handle gravel roads. The engine has a steel skid plate - hearing the metal scraping sound when the chassis hits something is heartbreaking, but the plate has saved the oil pan multiple times. The wading depth reaches 80cm, which is sufficient, but always check the air intake seals beforehand. The factory-installed roof rack is welded extremely sturdy; I've strapped three spare tires on it for a Tibet trip without any deformation.

There are quite a few handy safety details in daily use. For instance, the steering column is designed to collapse upon impact, and the soft material of the steering wheel prevents facial injuries in case of collision. The handbrake cable is concealed within the longitudinal beam, protecting it from damage, and the electronic parking brake ensures stability even on slopes. The headlights feature a delay-off function, doubling as a flashlight when parking in underground garages. The front and rear fog lights are sufficiently bright, especially useful when the hazard lights are activated in rainy conditions, as the fog lights flash in sync. The auto-dimming rearview mirror is particularly practical, preventing glare from high beams during nighttime highway driving.

Speaking of safety, the engineers' clever designs deserve mention. For instance, the thick anti-rust coating sprayed on the chassis prevents corrosion from rough roads damaging the underbody. The radiator at the front is positioned a full three-fist distance from the bumper, providing greater crash buffer space than sedans in rear-end collisions. The fuel tank is strategically placed between two longitudinal beams, safeguarding it from being scraped and leaking during off-road driving. The rear seatbacks are intentionally designed with a straighter angle—while less comfortable for long rides, this reduces the risk of spinal injury in crashes. Door hinges feature robust I-beam , giving doors a solid, weighty feel when opening and closing. Triple-layered window seals ensure no water leakage during heavy rain at highway speeds.
