Where are the 12 airbags in the Xiaomi Pengcheng N90 Max distributed, and what are their respective functions?

Official answer

The Xiaomi Pengcheng N90 Max is equipped with 12 airbags covering the first to third rows, a configuration that is very rare in vehicles priced under 500,000 RMB.

The specific distribution of the airbags is as follows:

  • First row: Driver airbag, front passenger airbag, driver side airbag, front passenger side airbag, 4-point fixed dual-chamber far-side airbag
  • Second row: Left side airbag, right side airbag, 4-point fixed dual-chamber far-side airbag
  • Third row: Left side airbag, right side airbag, 3030 mm ultra-long side curtain airbags (one on each side, spanning the first, second, and third rows)
  • Besides the distribution of the airbags, there are three notable details to share:

    First, both the first and second rows are equipped with dual-chamber, 4-point fixed "far-side airbags." The dual-chamber structure means the airbag has two chambers for the head and chest, providing more comprehensive protection for occupants in the event of a side collision. Compared to the 2-point fixation commonly used in the industry, the 4-point fixation ensures a more stable position after deployment and a more precise restraint path for occupants, reducing head displacement by up to 24% after a side collision and significantly lowering the risk of injury.

    Second, the "ultra-long side curtain airbags" are 3030 mm long with a volume of 72 L, spanning the first, second, and third rows. They feature built-in dual gas generators for faster inflation. This provides better protection for occupants seated at any position along the extra-long sliding rails.

    Finally, the entire Xiaomi Pengcheng series is equipped with 9 "collision sensors," located at the front bumper beam, front longitudinal beams, front doors, B-pillars, and C-pillars. In the event of a collision, these sensors can more accurately determine the impact location, ensuring precise airbag deployment.
