Crashtest Brilliance BS 4

[TheONEWELL]

That is bad. The passenger air bag is in a dangerous line of fire - situated so close to the windscreen it smashes it during igniting

[marcvie9]

it's only 27 kmph

[jtobias1998]

Not too bad for a Chinese car.....

[allogicid]

na es geht doch! Aber immer erstmal versuchen, die spottbilligen Schrotthaufen unters Volk zu mischen! Linke Typen!

[navaro20]

I drove a Briliance from 2009.

The exterior design look nice, but interior quality sucks, a VW B4 from 1997 will beat this.

So ,maybe after 5 years, now it's to earlier

[MrBS4]

@navaro20

Yeah, the 2010/2011 model received some major upgrade. Still, I think the interior still better than my civic when I sit on a BS6 cab back in my hometown. Which is in China.

[rodaphrog]

To the two who commented, they should be making cars of today... today.

They copy fucking everything, there is no reason they can't pull apart a BMW 7 series and go "Ok, this is why it's safe" and implement 10% of those measures then pull a "safe" rating at every testing center in the world.

[hod05]

I own a small cheap european made hatchback from the 90s and it still runs fine and is in good condition even after 12-13 years my major problem with chinese cars is that the build quality, materials and workman ship is so bad the life span of chinese cars is around 2-4 years probably lucky to get 60k miles at best and then its scrap

[Aqwert76]

Tonfehler bei 1:10

[JENSDONT]

MUCH better than the BS6!!

[VWTDI92]

Looks like a rip off Bimmer.

[sgtkiko]

not bad

[SkiPro1368]

Haha 1:41 there is a body bag that comes out of the front bumper so that the driver of the other chinese car has nothing to worry about!

[killerguitar44]

Even if one day China makes the best cars, I'm always going to buy Japanese and European cars.

[koreanpride888]

why BS?

[H0ellenKex]

@koreanpride888

Bull Shit?! xD

[sam19905]

chinese car is better than before~

[Maohammet]

Ok, not bad.

[cuihao]

GETTING BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

[smokefreak2006]

They are getting better, but stability is horrid!!!

[ruimcf]

A passenger airbag that crashes the windscreen.... Wierd.

[rkeppler3633]

Not convinced this is the production car. Chinese are the least trustworthy people on earth. They may have made this car just for testing, and the real one is dangerous. This car probably has lead paint, dangerous toxic materials in the passenger compartment. This is China we're talking about.

[Betteryear2007]

These Chinese cars do not convince me....

[0din27]

can anyone translate ? please!

[ps4fyzix]

I'm calling shenanigans (sp?) on this one.

It's amazing how much Brilliance progressed from the horrific BS6 (in which the passenger compartment was essentially smashed in and the airbags were strictly nominal) to the decent BS4 (comparable to other recent (if not new) small cars from Europe, Japan, and Korea) in such a short period of time. The ADAC's prejudice against Chinese cars shows when it gives the BS4 the same lowest rating as the BS6 when the BS4 is a lot better/comparable to others.

[Vallecrash]

@ps4fyzix Problem in that respect is that the ADAC also reckons that every car should be fitted with ESP and more than just 4 airbags. Also, there were other problems like leaking power steering.. on a new car. They took all of these things into account when they ranked it but they also said that the BS4 was a huge improvement over the BS6. Fact, though, is, that the BS4 was still not really near to where the standards are. I don't see prejudices here, they'd be stupid if they did that.

[riceball83]

Chinese car is not bad now.

[SalviCossali]

Porr stability!!!

[KZkazz]

As a piece of paper

[KZkazz]

@Aqwert76 Yeap, so whats the problem ?.

[Aqwert76]

nvm

[jonideejay]

Death trap

[vacuumless]

LOL Lame cars

[halopica]

ah i wanna see crash test one of golfs car....

[geass14]

すすんで乗る人間はいないだろうけど、中国の車は記憶と記録とも­に残る壊れ方をするな。

[tyu198]

japan couldnt fail though, they had the one car that built their economy, the austin 7 ( you know... the first car to use the standard car format )

under licence datsun made them, the rest is history.

[kobausagi]

中国人って自分のことしか考えない民族だね

[047560]

korean cars r much better than chinkcars

[cpthk]

at very beginning korean cars were produced, the crash test was as low as this

and same thing american car way back in 80s

[jtoni1]

i'm Japanese

NOT japan,korean car

Chinese Brilliance makers

[recuiti]

I know Japan is rich and I never deny. but ur country is totally a watchdog of USA, u wanna deny the reality? u r still using our characters(漢字）,how pathetic is it? Japan lived under the glory of China for thousands of years, and we will surpass u again for sure.

[churrasco2]

Exactly; Japan is rich now largely thanks to the USA, for their huge capital injection to revive the Japanese economy after the war, and for buying Japanese exports.

Of course this also turned Japan into US's bitch in Asia.

[recuiti]

but too bad US was fooled by commies and gave up the mainland China. otherwise, China would be the biggest and strongest democracy in Asia.

[mxpunch]

"poor face"? Ahahaha.

Chinese girls are the prettiest and they don't get all cut up by plastic surgery like Japanese girls. And Japanese are all midgets ahahaha.

Are you 150 cm?

[mxpunch]

It is not meaningless. It is a better indicator than nominal GDP since it considers more factors. You can survive with $5 a day in China but not in Japan. Besides, satisfaction with life is higher in China than in Japan. What is your money worth if you are dissatisfied with life?

That must be why suicide rates are so high in Japan. Nobody wants to live in that sh!thole.

And your numbers are wrong anyways. It's not $2000, it's much higher than that.

[th3Analyst]

GPD per capita (PPP) - 2007 IMF:

Hong Kong: $44,413 (1st in Asia)

Japan: $34,501

Taiwan: $31,892

South Korea: $26,341

China: $5,943

Remember that Taiwan and HK are Chinese. China/PRC will eventually get there.

[lorlorlor]

thus PRC is not in Taiwan, so ppl stop calling Taiwan is part of PRC....

thx

[genesis1999]

first of all taiwan is NOT part of china.

secondly hong kong is not comparable with other asian countries. the city is built and operated with foreign funds.

[recuiti]

the official name of Taiwan is Republic of China. so if Taiwan is not a part of China, it is a part of wat?

[02tonyl]

what you said has nothing to do with car but anyway you're wrong in some way, if u r talking about gdp per capita by IMF then certainly singapore in number one in asia, japan gdp per capita in 2007 was only hovering around $34000 even much lower than in britain of $46000. Hong Kong's living standard is quite comparable to that of Japan, Taiwan and Korea more or less have the same living standard though.

[th3Analyst]

Nobody is making you ride it.

[nick76dune]

another made in china piece of shit made by chinese cheap morons

[sujajajjaakakajjs]

zero stars, wtf?

[cyril9665]

I espere that he will have it not in Europe

[TodieToLiveLA]

NO SAFE. The automobile which made with technique the anxious stamp

[laurigun1]

it still got a zero

[th3Analyst]

It shouldn't have; everyone else gave it 3 stars.

Check my profile.

[laurigun1]

well i read it from the news

[Icewind10]

lol brilliant!

[laloona87]

Four years ago the Chinese delivered cars from the seventies. This BS4 now has the technology of the late nineties. They cought up 20 years in just 4 years and the BS4 is not the latest model from Brilliance - the BS4 was shown first time in 2007. The BS2 is the latest Brilliance model.

Everybody with a brain knows where the'll be in 2012.

In 2018 they probably totally dominate the world automobile market.

[th3Analyst]

Exactly. Although you should know that in Germany ADAC is serving agendas to keep the Chinese out.

Sehr schlecht.

[TalmadgeG1]

Please, they make shit car's, they have no new idea's they just copy the hard work of other design houses and spend nothing on engineering.

[th3Analyst]

Bigoted and nonsense comment.

[Hibbicon]

@laloona87 yeah, of course -.-

[HappyDay989]

@laloona87: They say in the video that the results are OK but not brilliant - pun intended! Also, Brilliance's price advantage over European makes has shrunk significantly. In other words: the more the Chinese catch up with European quality, safety and technological standards, the more expensive their cars become, and that process is unavoidable, Apart from all other things, European and Japanese car makers aren't fools who just stand by and wait for the Chinese to take over their markets.

[INUMIMI28]

@laloona87 If the economy holds, then yes

[cedric26061983]

@laloona87 probably in your wildest dreams.... chinese people can only copy technology. they cant invent something new! they never did in there whole history!

[MrBS4]

@cedric26061983

Ah, interesting! Then I think you need to rewrite the history book saying it is European invent gun powder, compass, and silk.

[haszom]

@cedric260619 They invented the gunpowder which is still in use..

[MirceaBv]

@laloona87

Please go to the Euro NCAP site and watch the latest achievement of the great chinese auto industry.

Admire the great score of 2 stars that the Landfart ........ I mean Landwind CV9 2010 achieved.

Surely they cought up with the germans especially.

Not that they only compete now for production rating but rather for quality with other manufacturers. I mean for them making T-shirts or cars is the same thing.

P.S. The cameras they use in their crash tests are also Chinese?

[zYzmrZIzYz]

this is so much better than the first test

[blacksnow03]

It is sad that people would impersonate another group of people just to stoke argument, if you are a korean or a jaoanese , why not just put the real country, why need to put other country...sigh.....hopeless.

[churrasco2]

It's low self steem; lack of confidence in their own nationality.

[scharferhund]

To churrasco2

"It's low self steem; lack of confidence in their own nationality."

That is what chinese called modesty.

You"d better learn more about asian culture before let your ignorance come out from your mind, hehe

[afb1b3]

watch?v=gxl9wXZfQz8

Inferior Chinese Piece of sh!t called "BullSh!t4" scores zero points in Euro crash test YET AGAIN!

No wonder the Chinese are considered "the Negritos/Blacks of Asia"...

[churrasco2]

It's sad that in this day and age racist bs like this is still posted around. Laotian my ass. You are a bitter Jap. And the Chinese are going to own you to oblivion.

[sqreeze]

no one considers the chinese as the blacks of asia, where the fuck did you get that from? fucking stupid fuck

[churrasco2]

The truth likely is, ALL of us are descendants from Africans. Africa is widely accepted as the cradle of the human race.

[CorneliusMcGee]

That statement is both true and likely one that deeply upsets people.

[mrcoke320]

upload subs!

[hellfire6333]

china is SLOWLY getting there!!!!!!! GOGOGO!

[edwardqiu]

slowly??! I don't call 0 stars to 3 in 79 days slow. And I don't think achieveing this result in just less than a year from the last crash test is slow.

[ansettnz100]

If they could go from 0 stars to 3 in 79 days that asks a question in my mind as to why the Chinese didnt aim for 3 in the first place, it was clearly not that hard if they could do so in 79 days!

[MrBS4]

It was 2 stars for the first BS6 test, and both star denied by ADAC as humiliation. A common practice for evaluator consider the car performance bad. Later Brilliance hire a Spain engineering firm to improve the design to get a 3 stars (but looks like 4 for me, at least the A pillar did no collapse like the 3 stars 98 A4 did)

[Vallecrash]

@MrBS4 The requirements of Euro-NCAP are constantly increasing, so you can't compare results from today to results from over 10 years ago.

[MrBS4]

@Vallecrash

Wrong and wrong, NCAP did not get overhauled between 1997 and 2009. I have been keep a close eye on their regulation since 2001. Nothing significant change until they put in vehicle without ESP is not eligible get 5 stars. The rest of the changes were minor or add more item such as pedestrian protection for example for evaluation (which by the way do not significant effect the overall rating)

[MrBS4]

@Vallecrash

The "new" rule never has a statement imply "vehicle without ESP should be rated 0 star " Moreover, there is no way to interpret the rule to the way ADAC evaluate the BS4. This can only means either ADAC is intensionally framed Brilliance or all their staff never enrolled in elementary school courses. I can only say, the evaluation result form ADAC is garbage, since evaluations from Nederland, Switzerland and Austria by using same data are more consist with each other. 

[SimHarrison]

@ansettnz100, those 0-3 star crash tests were tests of the larger model. this is the BS4 and the larger one is BS6

[Maohammet]

yes, and this car is tested by Germany's ADAC, so no excuse that it is performed in China. Now lets see what other excuses they have.

[hide5419]

야 야 어디서 중국인들이 자동차를 만든다고 깝을쳐.. 이 머저리 바퀴벌레 새끼들아

하던대로 가서 사람먹고 바퀴벌레 쳐먹고 살아..

[antVally]

english please! no more tadpole characters!

[churrasco2]

Korean indeed looks terrible on a computer screen.

But in case you can't read; you aren't missing much. It's just a troll shouting racial slurs. It's a shame for Korean people to be represented by people like this guy.

[churrasco2]

According to ADAC, the evaluation is 3 star front impact, 4 star side impact; 3 star child safety. Theoretical 3 star overall, but no ESP (electronic stability control) kills the score.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? This has to be done on purpose to damage Brilliance's image.

[zj945]

You r right, BS4 also score 3 star in C-NCAP, that's worse than most other Chinese cars. It's good to see they could built safe car now, the problem is ESP still isnt compulsory in Chinese market.

[FortunaFortesJuvat]

These ratings are what they would have been if they were taken to the same standards that the BS6 were. In the new, more stringent tests, the BS4 has recieved a zero-star rating.

[th3Analyst]

Wrong. Check my profile; I explain it on my website.

This car DOES NOT deserve that rating. It is a 3 star.

[churrasco2]

Shenanigans! This is considerably better than the BS6 as anyone can clearly see. The passenger compartment is pretty much intact after both the front and side impacts.

I went to ADAC's website, and the reason this got the low score is the recent change in crash test standards in their NCAP program a couple months ago. The lack of ESP, speed limiter and seat ball warner (WTF) ruins its score.

This car would've gotten 3 stars by the old standards.

[chinosuck]

chinese new technology!

[Jasolizer]

Wow Chinese can make some car!~ =)

[lvtunerz]

german dumb ass

[Jasolizer]

The car is made in China duuuh!!~~~~ You thought they were made in Germany? They don't make shitty cars like chinese guys do;;; Oh!!~~ Burn!!~~

[kkangandy08]

BullShit 4

[Wormtail81]

Pretty much. Yikes.

[Blue387]

The tin can firewall held up well.

[pepperonipineapple]

the airbag broke the windshield

[jockeleu]

Haha yeah, crazy.. Ddin't even catch that...

[tekdemon]

That's actually very common-airbags fire with a lot of force.

[8oooooooooo8]

that,s why , its highly advised to use regular pillow instead ....
