Automotive edition of AutoReview Carried out an SUV crash test UAZ Patriot according to the EuroNCAP rule (see number 12 of 2010). A car at a speed of 64 km / h was crashed into a cube with 40% overlap. The results were depressing, for several years after the replacement of Simbir with Patriot, nothing has changed in terms of security!
The body was again torn off the frame due to poor-quality fasteners, the steering wheel fired again and the dummy hit it with its head (overload 93g at an allowable threshold of 88g), and at the legs it came apart at the seams and the gas tank was pierced ... The passenger is unlikely to come out alive after a crushing blow on the handrail on front panel (HIC = 1788 at threshold 1000). Moreover, according to the publication, his salvation could be an airbag, but there is no such option even for the driver (and he, by the way, is not unnecessary with such a steering shift).
After recalculating the scores, it turned out that new Patriot no better than Simbir, who failed the crash test in 2003, the same 2.7 points and no hope for the future ... The reason is prosaic for fine-tuning security, no one wants to allocate money, people will buy such a car. But you don’t need so much, for example, a frame with crushable zones, to increase the number of points of attachment of the body to the frame and pillows in the cabin. Better spent on plastic body kits and new body colors.
According to Autoreview, fine-tuning Japanese pickup truck Nissan Navara failed crash test with a score of 1.6 points was carried out in a short time and a recall was announced, after fine-tuning the car achieved a result of 6.9 points. It is also worth noting that the recently broken in Australia Chinese Great wall hover performed much better than Patriot - 9.48 points out of 16.
But, there is one caveat. The crash test is partly relative. To turn a Patriot into a weapon for killing riders, you need an opponent of at least an equal weight category, that is, in a collision with the same Priora, an SUV from Ulyanovsk will have an advantage in the form of an oak frame.
There is another frame-by-frame review http://www.4x4info.ru/
shot 1 (frame - on approach to the target)
shot 2 (frame 10) - the target was hit, the hood and frame were deformed (what's with the frame ?!)
shot 3 (frame 11) - the most extreme point of the car moving forward, actually stopping the car - the departure from the concrete will go further - the moment of the greatest overloads in the cabin, the gearbox and the engine went down, steering column went up
shot 4 (frame 15) - active departure from the concrete wall, reverse G-forces begin, the tailgate opens
shot 5 (frame 17) - maximum rebound, mannequins are pressed into the backs and headrests
shot 6 (frame 97) - stopping the car after it flew off, jumped on ,
Now for the results
1. liked
1.1 Crinkling of the hood along the programmed trajectory
1.2 the steering column goes up and not into the driver
1.3 waving mirrors in a funny way - and the mirrors remain intact
2. liked it very much
2.1 the body does not break off the frame (holmes, but, damn it, HOW?!!!)
after all, the following scheme is traditional for the UAZ:
the body is torn off the pillows and, including its contents, it rushes towards everything that sticks into it - the driver, along with the seat and belt, comes to the steering wheel, and here it was possible to keep a very difficult body with a good margin of inertia (well, offhand, um 700 kg, ve 64 km / h - I get about 12 tons of shock load - but I must have been mistaken - I’m not trained in physics and arithmetic) on several bolts oh I don’t understand how it was done and why it didn’t work out like that before
2.2 the engine with the gearbox falls down and does not go to the salon (it’s also incredible - the bridge is in the same place, but the fact remains - it’s perfectly visible right from the second photo how the units fall down)
2.3 the body around the cabin is not deformed - the safety cage around the driver and passengers (the doors are the roof, it looks like the floor) is intact in the last photo, you can see it very well, I would say excellent result
2.4 The driver’s head does not crash into the middle pillar when flying back (I tried to cut it out so that it would be visible in frames 4 and 5) - but it passes strictly into the headrest, it’s also not clear - the body flies to the right, the head goes back - there is a non-zero probability of meeting with the middle pillar — usually on this pierced. Here somehow it was possible to avoid - by accident or not - it is not clear - you need to look for shooting with a high-speed camera, otherwise the whole crash literally fit in two frames - a lot of incomprehensibility remains
3 did not like
3.1 tailgate opened (shouldn't)
3.2 the windshield cracked from below and flew out - that means the lower part of the frame went deformed windshield- and there the interior is close to the instrument panel and the driver's knees
3.3, the driver flies headlong into the steering wheel, and the passenger into the handrail - you can see it especially well in the third photo. but this, in general, is treated not so much with pillows and pretensioners, but with readiness for impact and hands on the steering wheel - in life, if the driver holds the steering wheel, he often heads into the glass - his hands, like rocker arms, work purely kinematically so, nevertheless, it looks fuuu , the passenger is quite possibly worse than the driver - the handrail will be much stronger than the steering wheel
3.4 cargo from the trunk flies into the passenger compartment (this is not an eurocap - the second method, sorry but lazy to cut - take my word for it - a suitcase or a jack from the trunk turns out to be strictly in place of the head rear passengers- in the same place the tail throws up and the load flies forward - very ugly)
4. really disliked
4.1 there are no detailed photos of the car after - what’s with the doors - are they jammed or open, with pedals - where and how did they leave, with the bottom of the cabin - intact or gone or even torn
4.2 there is no information about dummies overloads, than they knocked with what force
4.3 is not at all clear - who beat him and for what, where are the results, at the first and at the second and even at the third glance the result is not bad - who and what is hushing up?
Summarizing
An unexpectedly good (if not excellent) result is not clear what the authors of the crash test are hiding.
And now for the doubters there are good pictures on the Drive:
On March 10, 2012, an accident occurred on the M10 Moscow-St. Petersburg highway involving 12 cars, including the UAZ Patriot.
The car withstood several strong blows in various places and at various angles of attack, including from a multi-ton truck.
Wherein EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THE PATRIOT IS ALIVE! only bruises and abrasions. And this is taking into account the fact that the Patriot is not equipped with airbags, belt pretensioners, etc.
I don’t write a lot of words, judge the scale and strength of the blows from the video and photos.
Some photos:
Who will say now that the UAZ Patriot is NOT a SAFE CAR?!
The Patriot saved the lives and health of his owner and passengers in this hellish mess!
Take care of yourself and your loved ones, be careful while driving!
The Patriot model from the UAZ plant has come a long and difficult way to achieve the proper level of technical performance and driving safety. In the recent past, the leaders of the UAZ plant gave up, resigned to the final death of their offspring. Due to the circumstances, it was decided to transfer it under the wing of Severstal. This decision gave a result four years later in the form of the presentation of a new car - the UAZ Patriot. The first analogues from a distance of 10 m looked like foreign cars.
Here are the original headlights with three light guns and a neat radiator grille, and a body kit in color wet asphalt made of plastic, and an exquisite spare wheel cover, and light alloy wheels.
Naturally, after a more detailed acquaintance with the car, its comparison with foreign cars disappears.
Quality of execution welds, mating the outer panels, fitting the body kit made of plastic - everything points to Russian roots. The rear bumper catches the eye, which rubs against the paintwork of the body, and in some places you can see the coating worn down to the metal. The radiator grill, in general, has a toy look. Can't help but grieve the lack of an airbag.
Characteristics of the updated SUV
Introduced a Russian-style SUV UAZ Patriot of this model year with many additional updates. Its official presentation took place in mid-October last year. The manufacturer has revealed the secrets of new equipment, upgraded suspension and a lot of other nuances. From the first official photos it was already clear that the design Ulyanovsk SUV took over modern tendencies. The style is immediately felt, especially against the background model range pre-reform all-terrain vehicles. The security system deserves special attention.
body exterior
global changes in exterior design not traced, but these transformations remained invisible:
- headlights with the latest complete set of lens optics and running lights day type;
- original facing of the radiator grille with three arcs;
- completely different front and rear bumpers, which are fastened to the body, and not to the frame;
- compact front foglights;
- thresholds of a new type, thanks to which ground clearance does not decrease;
- overall rear-view mirrors were equipped with turn signal repeaters and endowed with the ability to fold;
- changed and rear marker lights: they come in rays on the side of the body;
- on the top of the fifth door, an additional place was allocated for an LED-type brake light;
- the roof in the overframe area of the windshield is equipped with an active antenna, which improves the reception of radio waves;
- light alloy R16 rims have been transformed by a new design;
- as a bonus offer for updated Patriot and Patriot pickup are provided alloy wheels R18.
Salon design features
Interior innovations include:
- armchairs domestic production a new sample with a comfortable back profile, distinct lateral support and a wide range of adjustments;
- modern instrument cluster with a trip computer screen;
- a multimedia complex, navigation and a rear-view camera that facilitates parking and maneuvering in reverse;
- rear seats with isofix mounts for child seats;
Specification Features
In technical terms, UAZ Patriot will please:
- stabilizer roll stability in the rear suspension;
- installation of more rigid body supports;
- gasoline 2.7-liter engine ZMZ-40905, providing top speed 150 km, or a 2.2-liter diesel engine ZMZ-51432;
- airbags;
- stabilization system;
- cruise control;
- an updated version of the steering column;
- ergonomic multifunctional steering wheel and paddle shifters.
UAZ Patriot proves that SUVs will soon Russian production will be worthy competition foreign analogues both in design and technical specifications and at the level of driving safety.
Not really
It didn't break! The body of the Patriot was not torn off the frame, the pillows worked properly, pasted Windshield cracked, but remained in the opening ... But the steering wheel soared up, and the 18-inch wheel tore the floor!
We have just carried out the 38th crash test as part of our This is the first blow from a whole series of new crash tests, and we have chosen the modernized UAZ Patriot as the pioneer. Recall that during the Patriot, the body was torn off the frame, the driver hit his head on the steering wheel with force, and the passenger on the handrail on the front panel. The result is zero stars, 2.7 points and one of last places in our ranking.
But, it has a completely new telescopic steering column, the left A-pillar is reinforced and there are new attachment points for the body to the frame. Although the first results are so far only based on visual inspection— turned out not to be as rosy as we expected.
The pre-impact speed was 64.9 km/h, slightly faster than the standard 64 km/h, but within the +/-- 1 km/h tolerance of the procedure. Euro NCAP. The steering wheel has shifted less than six years ago, but it still looks at the ceiling, the pedals stand upright, and below, in the area of the pedals, is a continuous mess of torn metal.
It is already clear from the colored markers at the points of contact and from the high-speed video frames that the driver's airbag took the brunt of the blow and reduced the G-forces that act on the driver's head. But the steering column, alas, did not develop enough: according to preliminary estimates, the magnitude of the bending moment that acts on the dummy's neck exceeded the critical threshold, that is, with a high degree of probability, even now it can be argued that the driver real Patriot such a blow threatens to break the neck.
Already on Monday, look for a video report about this blow on our YouTube channel, and we will publish the full report, detailed analysis and the final rating of the Patriot on our website at the end of January and in the printed issue of Auto Review No. 2, which will be released on January 23, 2017.
In the meantime, we remind you that our website is open. There you can learn in detail about how the pre-reform Patriot and its predecessor UAZ Simbir performed in our tests, what are the ratings of an independent assessment passive safety and how they differ from each other, why Euro NCAP stars are sometimes invalid in Russia - and much more.
And one more important news. We at Autoreview have been conducting crash tests for 20 years already - and so far we have done them alone, although all over the world any independent rating passive safety exists with the support of partners and sponsors. In the Old World, Euro NCAP conducts crash tests with the money of European taxpayers, funds for tests in Latin America are given to the Latin NCAP committee by the Inter-American Development Bank - and so on.
Finally, we also have a partner: we still pay for crash tests ourselves, but cars "for slaughter", including this Patriot, from now on help us to purchase Insurance Company RESO-Guarantee. And there is mutual benefit in this. After all, our crash tests force automakers to release more safe cars- the death rate and injuries in road accidents are reduced, and with them the payments of insurers.
With the advent of a partner, we have not yet changed our crash test methodology and the ARCAP rating calculation scheme: they are based on the 2008 Euro NCAP committee frontal impact protocol (speed 64 km/h, 40% overlap, deformable barrier). The difference is in the nuances. For example, we evaluate head injuries according to the HIC integral criterion, even if there was no hard contact with interior elements.
Stay with us!
We are glad to welcome patriots in the topic of safety UAZ Patriot! The topic is actively massaged not only on the forums, but also at the most prestigious exhibitions automotive achievements. UAZ Patriot did not install airbags until last year, but UAZ Patriot 2017 has already got a pair of front airbags. At the present stage, the auto industry is literally fixated on the safety aspect and improving the equipment of the UAZ Patriot cabin. And the close attention of leading manufacturers has its justification despite the fact that many motorists of the old school ignore even belts (familiar, right?).
Regarding the pros and cons - if you put aside the bravado and analyze the capabilities of the Patriot, it turns out that there are indisputable arguments in favor of equipping the security system with airbags. Go:
- Patriot is a heavy machine that is not inferior to the frames in terms of mass. How will it behave when skidding? That's right, tantamount to a locomotive at full speed. The reaction and experience of the driver, adequate tires and ABS do not always give a positive result. Thanks to a mass of under 3 tons, a collision in a critical situation will definitely be tough.
- Head-on collisions always invariably touch the steering column of the UAZ Patriot, and, accordingly, head and chest injuries are provided. It is in this case that the pillow for the driver and passenger on front seat can save a life. Notice high speeds in order to cripple the fragile constitution of any person is not needed. Crash test at a total speed of 110 km/h (55 km/h for each participant in an accident), showed that the mannequins imitating the passenger and the driver could not “survive” without pillows.
- Properly tuned and accurate electronics will not allow the airbag to work at speeds up to 20 km / h. This means that if you slowly slipped into a ditch due to distraction due to the lack of a UAZ Patriot multifunction steering wheel, then there will be no airbag deployment. This moment is important not only for comfort, but also from the point of view of safety, because. An improperly opened pillow can also cause injury.
So the presence additional elements security argued. Now about the design of airbags on the UAZ Patriot - they do not fundamentally differ from typical Airbag devices on other cars. On Patrick 2017, the pillow for the driver is located in the steering column, for the passenger who takes the place of the navigator - in the glove compartment. The whole Airbag system consists of: inflatable bag, gas generator, collision sensor and control lamp on the dashboard.
The mechanism of operation is quite simple, but requires precise and professional customization qualified personnel. It’s almost impossible to adjust the UAZ Patriot airbag on your own, and it’s forbidden, so if the red indicator light stubbornly does not want to go out, you will have to contact the service station.
The sensor must respond to any deformations and sharp shocks in order to transmit a signal to the detonator, which destroys the membrane of gas cylinders. The pillow at the moment of opening breaks through the cover of the module. The cushion expands in about 30 ms. At the same time, the pillow should not be filled with gas to the eyeballs all the time, so as not to kill or maim due to the dense structure. The softness of the pillow is achieved through special holes. Impact damping is based on the principle of rapid rise and fall of pressure in the pillow through special calibrated holes, which allows dampening the dynamics of body movement. The Airbag system, due to the accuracy of execution and responsibility of the function, significantly raises the cost of UAZ Patriot 2017, but this rise in price is quite justified when compared with classical equipment, the risk of death when frontal collision 30% less.
In December 2016, which was organized and held automotive edition"AutoReview". Then the results, if we consider them in comparison with testing seven years ago, pleasantly surprised the experts. Progress was visible to the naked eye. However, with a more detailed study, it turned out that it’s still the same to rejoice, by modern standards, the SUV looks faded and inexpressive, displacements and overloads during an accident are still extremely high. The percentage of fatal traffic accidents will decrease, but injuries to the driver and passengers may be significant.
Perhaps in order to be rehabilitated in the eyes of the public, the manufacturer domestic SUVs from Ulyanovsk, asked the publication to cancel the results of the testing and recognize them as incorrect due to the mistakes made, according to experts from, in the preparation of the crash test. In particular, the manufacturer complained that certain deviations were made in the placement of the deformable barrier on the base plate, because of which the car received much stronger loads on the structure.
The first ARCAP crash test conducted by AutoReview
UAZ representatives also referred to the tests that were carried out in Germany, at the Takata test site. According to the results of tests conducted abroad, he received from 8 to 10 points.
The auto-edition went to meet the manufacturer and agreed to conduct a second crash test. Changes were taken into account when installing a deformable barrier, which received a low base plate.
Repeated acceleration to 64 km / h, and brand new, shiny unscratched paintwork UAZ rushes to the meeting point with an obstacle. A blow with a 40% overlap of the crushed obstacle and visually the picture practically does not change.
The second ARCAP crash test conducted by AutoReview
During the study broken car it turned out that as a result of a stronger blow to the lower part of the car, the side member that took the hit, in our case, the left one, received a stronger displacement. Because of this, the floor of the car was deformed, the left seat left. But worst of all, the fact that the steering wheel has shifted up more, and this has a direct impact on driver safety. The airbag in such a situation may not perform its function, and the soaring steering wheel can cause significant injury to the driver.
Despite this, the test score was 5.3 points, in the first test "Auto Review" awarded Russian SUV only 4.4 points.
During the first crash test, the new steering column with a telescopic fork also went up, which, according to experts, can easily break the driver’s neck, and left wheel flew into the cabin, tearing the floor.
Previously conducted UAZ Patriot crash tests of past years and real ones traffic accidents showed that due to the outdated frame design with not enough impact energy absorption zones, the body could uncontrollably continue further movement forward. The consequences were often unpredictable.
Recall that the basis of ARCAP (Russian independent rating of passive safety, which conducts car newspaper"Auto Review") lies.
