本人預計今年會換車因為有是家庭用車所以安全性為第一考量,目前相中的有VITRAR與KUGA 4T,兩者車重相差約300kg ,kuga 號稱有硼鋼而vitrar 則通過歐盟測試,請問當事故發生時那300kg 的差距會有影響嗎?謝謝
若是要單純討論車重影響,應該要排除所有變數,留下為壹依各"重量差異"來探討,這一篇外國研究文章剛好切題,用同款HIGHLANDER車但是汽油款跟油電款來比較,油電車重10% 更多,但是人員 25% 更少受傷,更低死亡率,比較汽油車。有興趣的人可以自己去看依下。

Research by the Highway Loss Data Institute shows that drivers and passengers in a hybrid are 25% less likely to be injured than those in the same model with a standard gasoline engine. And the death rate for drivers in hybrid crashes also was lower.
The hybrid advantage is all about weight, it turns out. "Hybrids on average are 10% heavier than their standard counterparts," says Matt Moore, HLDI vice president and author of the report. "This extra mass gives them an advantage in crashes." When cars collide, the heavier vehicle tends to push the lighter one backwards, exerting greater force on the lighter vehicle and its occupants.
To take an example, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV (pictured above) weighs 4,500 pounds -- about 330 pounds more than the gasoline Highlander. The hybrid's battery pack and other components account for the added weight.
