Ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz unexpectedly gave the media a sneak peek at the CLA model's Dissected Anatomy Edition, using visual methods to interpret the engineering brilliance behind its safety technologies. Photos taken on-site reveal the car frame's interior, with different materials marked in various colors—a clear showcase of the brand's pride in its body strength technology.
According to the color-coded diagram, the chassis structure of Mercedes-Benz incorporates various elements: light blue aluminum alloy sheets, dark blue extruded aluminum, gray general steel plates, red high-strength steel, and purple ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel. This composition of materials is not randomly assembled; it has been precisely calculated and rigorously tested to ensure that, during a collision, impact forces are effectively distributed and absorbed, minimizing damage to the passenger compartment.
Take a closer look inside the cabin, and you’ll find a comprehensive airbag system that practically encloses the entire interior. This includes seat-integrated airbags, side airbags, and roof airbags, creating a 360-degree safety shield. Paired with a high-rigidity frame, passenger safety is effectively ensured even under extreme conditions.
Through the display of their showcase vehicles, Mercedes-Benz demonstrates an unwavering commitment to structural safety, passive protection, and material selection—cornerstones of the brand's long-standing reputation for safety. For consumers, this transparent display is undoubtedly a confident expression of their quality. Beyond focusing on interior design and technology, the assurance of life-saving protection in the event of an accident is a key factor that deserves attention when purchasing a car.
