The ABS+EBD system of Polo Jinqing is the upgraded product of ordinary ABS, which is of an advanced technology and regarded by some people as a mini ESP. The system is improved in two aspects: the noise of hydraulic adjustment is reduced to enhance the braking efficiency, and the braking stability at road bends becomes better. At the same time, Polo Jinqing is specially equipped with CBS to increase the stability at road bends and driver safety as well as enjoyment of driving. EBD (electronic braking distributor) is integrated into the basic functions of ABS. While the car is being braked under normal conditions, a rational braking force is produced to avoid over-braking at the rear wheels. The safety advantages of EBD can show themselves especially when braking take place at road bends. The traditional proportioning valve limits the rear braking pressure too early and too much, whereas the EBD allows a greater braking pressure on the rear wheels but avoids their blocking at the same time via ABS' rational adjustment of the braking sliding ratio.

MSR (engine resistance force control) is an extension of the ABS function. It is integrated into the ABS control software as well. The engine resistance force is controlled by means of CAN. When driving on a rainy day or on snowy or icy slippery roads, the driver's sudden weakening of the accelerator pressure, or gearing down at high engine rpm, will over-increase the sliding ratio of the driving wheels and cause vehicle instability. At this time the MSR system will function and produce quite a great deal of engine resistance force, which will brake the vehicle without pressing the brake pedal, so as to keep a stable driving performance. Equipped with the mini ESP system and with the cooperation of CBC and MSR, the braking system of Polo Jinqing adopts the front disc and rear drum method in the same way as other A0 class cars made in China. This will enable Polo Jinqing to provide a better, fuller and more economical safety control, so that the users can enjoy a richer driving experience while having an equally ensured safety.

The left and right front longitudinal beams of Polo Jinqing are made of galvanized sheet metal of different thickness by way of laser welding. The thicker part is able to maintain the vehicle stiffness and the relatively thinner part can effectively absorb impact energy. The concept of “combining tenderness with rigidity” helps to provide an ideal safe structure that ensures safety of passengers.

The upper window frame is of an integral structure to support the maximum weight with the lightest possible structure while ensuring safety, dynamics and economy. The horizontal beam of the roof is a variable cross-section one employed to increase the roof rigidity and ensure passenger space. Pillar B is intensified and made of special sheet metal. It has a limit of yielding that is more than 5 times as strong as ordinary sheet metal, thus a “bronze and iron wall” i.e. a bastion of iron, is formed against lateral impact. The front and rear doors are fitted with lateral impact bars and high strength impact panels to increase the pressure resistance and reduce the possible injury from lateral impact to the maximum. Furthermore, SVW has purchased exactly the same kind of production lines as those used by VWAG and, by applying the laser welding technology and body splicing techniques, the strength and rigidity of the bodywork has been further increased. Both sides galvanized, the body sheet metal is exceptionally corrosion resistant. Therefore no weakening of body rigidity is possible and owners are free from any anxiety. The manufacturing precision of bodywork is strictly guaranteed via the positioning point reference system, thus preventing manufacturing defects from taking place due to quality problems. Advanced technologies, such as the passenger compartment of great strength, the laser welded body, the double face galvanized sheet metal, etc. ensure a consistently high rigidity of Polo Jinqing, of which the safety performance and product quality, which meet the international standards for the B-plus class cars, lead the competitors far ahead of them.

Polo Jinqing is fitted with frontal SRS integrated air bags for both the driver and co-driver. When an air bag is blown up, the engine will stop the fuel pump at once to cut the fuel supply and protect the vehicle and passengers. After the impact, the air bag will leak automatically, the central door control will unlock, and the interior lights will be turned on automatically to allow the passengers to leave the vehicle as soon as possible.

EU IV is applied to the various versions to offer a better protection of the environment. The fuel consumption of the new 1.4 L Polo Jinqing at 90km/h uniform speed is reduce by 13.8% at the maximum, and the 1.6 L version by a maximum of about 8.3% at 90km/h uniform speed.
