- Hyundai Accent vs Hyundai Grand i10 Crash test - Double standard on vehicle safety
An Hyundai Grand i10 sedan sold in Mexico has been crashed into a comparable Hyundai Accent sold in the US. Both models are the cheapest sedans from the manufacturer that consumers can buy in their respective markets.*
The Hyundai Accent produced for the US market offers 6 airbags and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) as standard. However, the i10 model produced for Mexico and other Latin American markets is fitted with only two frontal airbags.
The protection the Accent offered to its driver during the crash test was good and the model showed a stable structure. The Grand i10 however showed an unstable structure and poor protection to the driver with a high probability of life-threatening injuries. The Hyundai sold in Mexico would be rated as a zero star car by Latin NCAP.
Alejandro Furas, Latin NCAP Secretary General said,
“This test is a wakeup call to consumers, regulators, and car manufacturers. All consumers, no matter where they live, have the right to expect the same standard of safety in their cars. The cross border safety gap should no longer exist. We call for manufacturers to stop the double standard strategies in the world.”
Stephan Brodziak, Latin NCAP Chairman said,
“It hurts to witness once again the terrible double standard with which part of the car industry operates in Latin American and Caribbean countries. This inevitably forces us to think about the suffering that these cars, built under this scheme, end up causing to our families, societies and economies.
In addition, it reveals the great pending task in order to make the Latin American car market mature: the absence of a vehicle safety label. A safety label in all new cars can alert consumers about the risks of low-safety cars and allows the market to move to a commercial logic, turning the car industry, established in our region, into a competition for the safety performance offered that goes beyond the regulatory framework of a country.”

There's a serious problem with this test, THIS CARS AREN'T COMPARABLE.
The i10 belongs to the A segment while the Accent belongs to the C segment, so it's pretty obvious that crashing one into the other will make the lighter seem more unsafe
i saw a video about head on car collisions somewhere and there is a threshold to how much maximum impact a vehicle of certain sizes can withhold and unless it’s a mini van or pick up truck a small size sedan and compact vehicle are similar in weight and proportion so this comparison is pretty fair.
@@brrbrr474 the i10 is way lighter than the Accent, which is also wider, and way longer, so It isn't a fair comparison.
The accent should have been compared to another accent or to a Creta
Size isnt a excuse
@@elmexicanfighter4049 the same model with the same structure but in 5 Doors version instead of 4 doors one showcased a good performance in EuroNCAP last year, but if you crash a small car into a bigger car the impact will be more severe in the smaller one, it's like if the accent was crashed into a Sonata (there's a similar segment gap and the weight difference is even bigger) the results would have been poor in both cases
@@chloeysuslocuras1157 i dont think you understood what i was explaining. regardless of the size and weight there is a way to show how much force is maximized during an impact. I cant pull out numbers right now because i do not know them but i promise you that this is as fair as it can get for a comparison other than getting an identical car.
Accent built to be tough
New car
