Lower cost and easier to repair 64 CESVI TIPS 2011 ABLA YEARBOOK The automotive market, both consumers and insurers, can now use the CESVI Automotive Rating (CAR Group) to get technical information on repair costs and the degree of difficulty in repairing vehicles sold in Brazil. For each category of vehicle, this ranking, prepared by the Research & Development area, identifies the models that are quickest, easiest and least expensive to have repaired. This information enables consumers to compare vehicle models of interest to them. The models with better ratings tend to have more competitive insurance costs, as repair costs are used as a pricing criterion by insurers. CAR Group data is useful when choosing used vehicles, so the cost of any repairs will not hit consumers’ pockets too hard. The ranking’s name comes from the fact that the vehicles are listed in groups. On a scale from 10 to 60, the better the repair rating for the vehicle, the lower its group number in the ranking will be. The vehicle is analyzed before being included in the Car Group ranking. Before being launched on the market, CESVI gets a vehicle and conducts front and rear crash tests, performing the necessary repairs, and an individual analysis of the parts involved. At the garage, the number or parts, their price and replacement time is noted, as well as the cost of materials and painting required in the repair work. The study ends with a general assessment of the damage, conclusions about the repairs, any replacements needed and suggestions for modification. 1. Front bumper 2. Hood 3. Left front headlight set 4.
