[Michael Case, Manager, RACV Vehicle Engineering]: "The results are in a one to five star scale, and the more stars the better." The Chery J11 was recently crash tested, and scored only two out of five stars for frontal impact..According to the ANCAP report there was a high risk of life-threatening chest injuries for the driver and the J11 scored zero points for pedestrian protection. To be sold in Australia a vehicle has to meet Australian Design Rule requirements, which are at a basic level. [Michael Case, Manager, RACV Vehicle Engineering]: "The Chinese vehicles that we've been testing have generally scored around two or three stars, and that's disappointing when most other competitor vehicles score at least four if not five stars in crash tests." ANCAP measures the safety performance of these vehicles in excess of the minimum requirements. [Michael Case, Manager, RACV Vehicle Engineering]: "So the challenge here is for the Chinese brands to improve their safety performance and get up to the level of their competition scoring at least four." Manufactures have recalled the Chery over concerns with side impact weakness, but ANCAP says that won't alter the poor rating of the frontal impact test. ANCAP have published their results over fears the recall could be slow. NTD News, Melbourne, Australia

CHINA exists today bc of all the cheap ppl in the world. If you buy Chinese then it's well deserved.
-
Nevertheless, if this is how China builds their cars, they should not be building cars. I'd rather not have an accident in anything. But if I do, I want to be able to walk away with non-life threatening injuries.

Made in China + Lemon = Unforgivable. Buy Australian designed, Australian tested, Australian built.

this is all just a horse shit! this crash test are basically design to be a barrier to entry for Chinese car manufactures. no car company either japan or german or car expert can guarantee you that with 5 star rating car you will be safer in a crash and a pedestrian will not be harm. look at Paul walker, he die and burn to a cripes in 300.000 dollar Porsche which said to be one of the safest car there is. it is all depend on the way you drive not the protection that car can provide. if you are going to use it mainly in city area, cheap Chinese car will not kill your wallet and saver to the environment compare to 6liter above 40 grand cars.
