Compact cars, also known as small family cars, are defined as Class A cars by German standards. Compact cars are the most common family cars, with a wheelbase of 2.5-2.7 meters and an engine displacement of 1.6-2.0 liters. In China, there are compact cars including self-owned brand models, joint venture models, and pure imports. In China, the price range of compact cars has almost covered the range of 50,000 to 300,000 RMB, becoming the main model in the domestic car market. Family cars abroad are generally compact cars, with a standard total length of 4.2-4.6 meters, a wheelbase of 2.4-2.7 meters, an engine displacement of 1.6-2.0 liters, and a price of less than 20,000 dollars.

In recent years, China's automobile exports have continued to grow, and compact cars, as an important part of exports, have also achieved significant growth. ‌In 2023, ‌China's automobile export volume reached a new milestone. ‌The annual export volume exceeded 5.22 million units, ‌a year-on-year growth of 56%. As the largest used car dealer and car exporter in Guiyang, Guiyang Silu Auto Technology has also achieved a huge leap in business volume in the past year.

There are many models to choose from in the compact car market, but no matter which model it is, its safety performance is the primary consideration for us as consumers when buying a car. Are compact cars safe? Which brands of compact cars are safe and reliable? Guiyang Silu Auto Technology, as a car exporter with many years of experience in automobile sales, will reveal the answers to these questions for you.

The safety performance of compact cars excels in many aspects, including crashworthiness, occupant safety, pedestrian safety, and vehicle auxiliary safety. Through the measured data from the Car Purchase Consumption Evaluation (2014 Edition), we provide you with a horizontal comparison of various levels of models in certain aspects. From the emergency brake test, some compact models have shown excellent safety. For example, the Volkswagen Sagitar performed well in the 100-0km/h emergency brake test, with a short braking distance and a rich safety configuration as standard for the entire series, including a number of active and passive safety configurations. Similarly, the Citroen C4L and Mazda 3 also showed good performance in the emergency brake test.

The test results of many collision agencies at home and abroad have become the more meaningful reference items, including Europe's E-NCAP, the United States' IIHS, Japan's J-NCAP and our domestic C-NCAP. As a mass consumer, C-NCAP's reference is more universal. Not long ago, the second batch of C-NCAP crash results for 2015 were released. What is exciting is that all 17 models have achieved a 5-star safety rating. Together with the first batch of 16 models, the proportion of 5-star ratings in the first half of the year reached an astonishing 97%. This result tells us that the number of 5-star safety models is increasing rapidly. Among the many compact models that have received five-star collision safety ratings in the second batch this year, there are some new faces, such as the Changan Ford Focus, Buick Excelle, Skoda Fabia and other popular models.

In general, the safety performance of compact cars is guaranteed, but the specific performance depends on the model configuration and driving habits. When buying a car, consumers should give priority to models with high configuration and strong safety, and pay attention to the maintenance of the vehicle to ensure driving safety. If you need to buy a car, you can contact Guiyang Silu Auto Technology.
