I enjoyed the video, but I'd love it if you enabled automatic subtitles for your videos (simple setting) so that I can understand more than just a few handful of English loan words.
The cheaper EV did as I expected as they are basically based on 3 wheeler tuk tuks. The wuling EV did as a car would with proper crumple zone and stuff. With some airbags and a higher top speed I can see this being used in slower high ways and maybe give more competition to the kei markets if all under 7500 usd
*yes the red one (also known as a chang-li) is unsafe but remember they are only meant to be in the Provence’s, towns, and cities and small areas that don’t have public roads because this type of EV isn’t designed to go fast and be designed for an impact* *also forgot to add that these are also just for getting some groceries near by or elders or just wanting to go somewhere that isn’t so far away*
To people saying the Wuling "fared well", they crashed it against the smallest vehicle possible, and the driver still took signifigant damage. Any larger vehicle than a red "neighbourhood runabout" (such as a delivery truck) would kill the driver. It did not fare well, it fared extremely poorly.
it would be okay in slow speed city areas or rural areas for highways, normal roads, not sure how else they could make it more safe besides adding airbags whatever material you stick onto a mini like this, it is not going to fare well in a crash. There isn't even an engine to act as a crumple zone
it will not. The MiniEV caused injuries even hitting a shitbox EV golf-cart type crap. The show said if it hits a regular car or SUV the damage will be exponential. In the US the car is a death trap.
@@RandomUserX99 the US is a death trap anyway. These idiotic big cars and missing ways for cycling (and thus fat people) speak for themselves. Combined with a poor health system.
I have been looking for crash test videos of the inexpensive electric cars. Finally here's one, but unfortunately for me, not in english. But the video says it all. The "Wuling" did much better than the red car, which appears to be a DEATHTRAP!! I wouldn't want to be in the white car either, but it's stronger than the red for sure. Great offset crash test. Thank you for this.👍
That red one can't be called as a car, because in China it belongs to "low-speed electric vehicle" category, which means you can't get a legal licence and number plate, so it is not a vehicle which we called car. The show is meant to find the safety difference between legal cars and these craps.
Regardless. If it's got four wheels and moves under it's own power, it's a car. The red one is a DEATHTRAP. And if it's on the road, it's vulnerable to collision, and the people inside would be doomed! The other one did better, but it too is a danger to life and limb. I'll take and old Buick any day over these crates!!
@@nicksgarage8295 Just look at the crash test. Would you want to be in either one of those things?! As a "car", it a deathtrap. I'm been in a couple of REAL cars that were TOTALLED and I survived. (Neither wreck my fault.) But if I were in one of those cars in the same kind of wreck, I would be DEAD. No thanks on these things.
The show mentioned the Wuling used medium-high strength steel rated from 210mPa up to 270mPa for the chassis, on par with compact cars' body strength. However, minimum weight plus minimum crumple zone spell it's a death trap, shouldn't drive it on the highway at all.
Que pena que esse mini não temos se quer importar pro Brasil! Após ver esse seu teste vejo que para ele ficar melhor só falta colocar air-bag.. dai o resto é apenas pequenos ajustes para deixar a caixa do motorista mais segura!
Hello, the brand mini belongs to Wuling Motors in China, which is a very good traditional Chinese car company. The seat belts you mentioned are already standard in subsequent mini models. The positioning of this car in China is to buy groceries, commute for short distances in the city, and pick up and drop off children.
@@elpibegamer6730 The red car is an electric vehicle that is on the edge of the law in China. It is never allowed to drive on Chinese urban roads and major roads. However, because China is relatively large, there is still a certain market in some remote or backward rural areas.
No. This would need to be re-engineered to be safe enough to be used on the roads. How the manufacturers got away with producing such a poorly engineered vehicle is amazing. Even when used in site appropriate locations, this doesn't mean that normal heavier cars won't also be using the same locations.
Great video / crash test. The Wuling EV is of course just a non-licenced vehicle to drive around locally like a bicycle, not on the highway. The MiniEV looks great. With some airbags could sell it in western countries.
The Wuling seems to have done very well in this crash test. I, of course, did not understand one single word so I am not clear on the red 'Mercedes'. Looking into the engine compartment I saw nothing. Is this also an EV or does it have motor/ engine in the back ? If it is a traffic ready vehicle I will leave my fingers off it. Not safe.
@@yao4738 thank you very much for the explanation. I was in fact wondering about the red vehicle. In the price range the Wuling seems to fare better. I appreciate your effort. Thank you.
Absolutely not to think about buy any poor quality and unsafe like this super cheap cars. Wuling mini EV is better, safety and strong good car. It's float over water and it's run, no problem.
Все-таки надо было их каждую по отдельности разбить по стандарту автомобильному, чтоб понять, что к чему. А так-то оно и так было понятно, что красной будет плохо.
You won’t know and definitely don’t want to know how annoying those red little cars are in the city.The drivers even doesn’t need a driving license to drive this shxt.
The red "car" is actually not legal. It looks like a car but doesn't have any safety design, and was sold in the name of electric scooters. This video tries to convince people not to buy them.
Itu kali kenapa kyk keras gitu body wuling.. Pintu terasa berat saat di buka tutup.. Trnyata besinya padat.. Trbukti dari video ini yg di lawan bukan merek kaleng2 lagi, itu kan logo mobil mercy mobil mahal di indonesia, cuma kala di grand doang si ini wuling jd ejekan dari fans2 merek sebelah selalu memakai senjata ini
If government cared about a real renewable energy transformation they would adjust regulation to allow them in our cities quickly, but they don't so we won't. The Wuling would be my next car otherwise. It still has a lot of room for improvement but for under 10 grand so long as its safe, has aircon and the stated over 150km range it works for me more than the new feature rich over priced hot garbage a lot of cars are.
no airbag? still a fail. but my compliments for the makers ogf this video even If I can't understand chinese they made everything clear with just the pictures and the work they did to dismount everything from the unibody of the car
@@arminkaiser8933 well it's cheap, what did you expect? For the money you paid, you want to survive unscathed? get a Tesla. Beggars can't be choosers.. lol
excellent crash characteristics, you wont need to worry about hospital fees or recovery time as all occupants would be decapitated or crushed/bled to death on impact. maybe a collapsible steering column and a bit more metal on the body to improve cabin integrity in any impact. maybe fitting airbags in the front boot area, as well as the cabin would reduce cabin intrusion and sudden death of occupants.
Umm... Both wooden manikins were destroyed and they were both only going like 25mph. I'd call that pretty poor performance when compared to a proper car. Imagine hitting a real car with one of those.
Mercy Vs Wuling woooow wuling is the best, gila memang ini wuling body mmg keras bukan cuma di versi Almaz, conferro, cortez doang.. Sampai di mobil listrik mini jg kuat, lawanya bukan merek kaleng2 bos Mercy gitu, merek mobil mahal di indonesia
Why is there no video of the Wuling going into a solid concrete like structure? Driving it into a piece of cardboard like in this video is always going to make it look better than it actually is. In short summary, a very misleading depiction of it's crash worthiness.
Actually they have the same comment in the video, saying that wuling's performance is a bit disappointing considering its opponent. But the takeaway of this video are more about telling people not to buy those cardboard deathtrap
TBH Wuling crash test only looked better because it was crashing a cheaply built EV car, that Cheap car is absorbing most of the impact for both of the cars. This doesn't really proved that Wuling is safe, safer than cheaply made decorated golf cart? Yes. Safe on the road against any other cars? High likely no
@@bunnyfreakz you're going to sustain some sort of injury in a crash but some cars will do a better job of making a crash survivable vs fatal. A Wuling against an Ford F-150 will probably look like the red EV or worse.
Tbh I'm not from China but I do have Wuling car in my country, and almost everyone here know that Wuling body is heavier and thicker than Japanese / Korean cars with similar or even higher (but not too far) price
