On July 15, the C-NCAP test results of the Wanjie M9 were released by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, with a comprehensive score of 93.9%, making it the only C-NCAP five-star safety model. The occupant protection section scored 96.98%, pedestrian protection section scored 75.38%, and active safety section scored 97.79%. The achievements of occupant protection and active safety sections far exceeded the average level of evaluation, ranking first. The Wanjie M9’s outstanding performance sets a record, demonstrating that safety is the ultimate luxury and marking the entry of Sailesi Automobile into the era of intelligent safety.
Achieving a five-star safety certification, the overall score reached a new high. C-NCAP, as an authoritative reference for measuring car safety performance internationally, has become the first choice target for the safety research and development of Chinese car products and a synonym for car safety. In this C-NCAP test, Wanjie M9 performed excellently in occupant protection, pedestrian protection, and active safety, becoming the highest scoring model in C-NCAP.
In terms of passenger protection, the Wanjie M9 achieved a record-breaking score of 96.98%. In the full overlap frontal crash test, the Wanjie M9 collided with a fixed rigid wall barrier at a speed of 50 km/h. In the 50% overlap crash test, the Wanjie M9 collided with a 1.4-ton platform car moving at 50 km/h on tracks. In both crash tests, the front body of the Wanjie M9 successfully absorbed the impact energy, the A-pillar remained undamaged, the passenger compartment structure remained intact, the safety airbags deployed smoothly, providing effective protection for the occupants.
In the side pole crash test, the Wanjie M9 has a reasonable side force transmission path design and protective structure design to ensure the survival space of side passengers. The seat side airbags and head air curtains deploy smoothly and in a timely manner. an adequate protection area prevents direct contact between the head and the window glass, interior parts, etc. Meanwhile, the panoramic sunroof does not shatter.
After the collision, the M9’s hazard lights turn on, the E-CALL rescue function automatically dials out and responds quickly, the doors unlock, the handles pop out normally, both sides of the doors can be opened, providing good conditions for self-rescue or rescue of passengers. Additionally, the M9 quickly shuts off high voltage after the collision, with no leakage of electrolyte, and no occurrence of fire, explosion, or smoke from the battery pack.
It is worth mentioning that the Wanjie M9 scored as high as 97.79% in the active safety category, far exceeding the industry average. It received full marks in automatic braking for vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-pedestrian, and vehicle-to-two-wheeler scenarios, as well as lane-keeping capabilities. Leading the intelligent safety era with an industry-first intelligent safety system, Wanjie M9 excelled in this test thanks to Sailesi Automobile’s commitment to putting users first and providing high-quality safety products. Sailesi Automobile defines safety through scenarios and has introduced the industry-first “intelligent safety system” to create a safe environment for every user. They conduct comprehensive multi-dimensional safety tests in various scenarios, covering frontal impact, roof crush, rollover, rear-end, side impact, and underbody scraping tests to ensure 360° protection for the entire vehicle. In resisting frontal impacts, Wanjie M9 features a triple force transmission pathway design and an enhanced downward force transmission pathway to redirect more load to the thresholds and lower body, ensuring the safety of the cabin.
At the same time, the M9 bumper absorption box has a crush length of 260mm, leading in its class, increasing the absorption space and efficiency of the front compartment; and the large-size high-strength integral front crossbeam casting ensures the survival space of the occupants and the integrity of the cabin.
In side impact protection, the Wanjie M9 uses a three-layer hot-formed 1500MPa steel combined with a layer of hot-formed 2000Mpa steel to form a super strong B-pillar structure. Eight 2000Mpa hot-formed door anti-collision beams are arranged in the front and rear doors to minimize deformation of the body during collisions, creating a super strong “diamond shield” for the passenger compartment to prevent or reduce injuries to passengers in accidents.
In addition, the Wanjie M9 adopts a body structure of seven horizontal and three vertical sections, with a high-strength threshold beam of up to 11 compartments, providing “luxurious” side impact survival space, better absorbing side impact energy, ensuring full side protection for users, further enhancing passenger safety; at the same time, the Wanjie M9 roof beams use three 1500Mpa hot-formed steel, so that in the side pillar impact test conditions, the top of the Wanjie M9 is almost without deformation, the top panoramic glass does not shatter, providing users with the ultimate fortress-like safety protection.
C-NCAP is widely recognized as the pinnacle of China’s new car safety evaluation. The M9 from Wuling Motors achieving the highest score in history on this rigorous test truly demonstrates its advanced safety features and reflects the company’s commitment and expertise in safety technology research and development.
