Chinese 4x4 Gets Zero in Safety Test



The first Chinese car to be sold in Europe has scored zero - the
worst-ever score - in safety tests.


The JiangLing Landwind was displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show last
week and is expected to arrive in British showrooms within months. It is
already on sale in Holland, Germany and Belgium and has been billed as the
vanguard of a new invasion of Chinese vehicles.


Testers calculated that a driver would be unlikely to survive a head-on
collision at 40 MPH, and in a side-on collision at 30 MPH the driver
would suffer severe head and chest injuries due to a lack of side
protection.


With an expected ?10,000 price tag, the Landwind is designed to rival
cars such as the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, both about ?5,000 more
expensive

dont believe this.
the european government tested the car again at their own crash test center . and it is found that it passed the standard and safe for use . when the goverment asked more detail from this crash test body , no specific detail has been given out at all . worst is they purposely do this crash test to kill the chinese car manufacture market .

Ummm...are you mistaken or something? MPH is Miles Per Hour, unless you mean most drivers drive at 200 KPH.

this crash test was designed to purposely sabotage chinese sales in europe.
another crash test proved that this car is safe
