Safety evaluation results of seven car models have been announced by the China Insurance Research Institute’s Auto Technology Institute in its first batch of results for 2021.
The vehicles were JAC Jiayue A5, FAW-Volkswagen Audi Q5L, FAW-Toyota RAV4, BMW Brilliance X3, NIO EC6, Dongfeng Qichen Qichenxing and Li Auto One.
The institute’s China Insurance Automotive Safety Index crash test is in four categories — crashworthiness and service economy, occupant safety, vehicle safety and vehicle auxiliary layman security. It uses four ratings to evaluate the safety of vehicles: G = excellent, A = good, M = medium, P = poor.

For the other three categories all seven received higher than medium ratings.
The institute said that its research and evaluation rules are playing an increasingly important role in improving China’s automobile safety and quality. Safety is a top priority for car buyers, thus safety results from the institute are important indicators when they choose vehicles.
Fang Zhongyou, chairman of the institute’s test center, said the models evaluated covered traditional gasoline and new-energy vehicles, taking into account joint venture brands and domestic brands.
The institute revealed that it invited professors and experts in the field of automotive safety technology and standards in universities and in the automobile, insurance and other industries to review the results to ensure they were professional, objective, fair and just.
