Incredible. Built like a tank — esp in the side impact tests. Def has a low center of gravity as lots of SUVs almost rollover in the side test but it barely lifted its wheels. Nice.

Why no info about speed at impact? Seems relevant.

Я бы хотело оказатся внутри если это оплачивает кия, и где сравнение с Теллурайд что не продаётся в Казахстане?

😅 Is it has steel bumper instead of foam? How is rear crash tests?

[Tom-bpno]

Maybe the sled car should be an identical weight. Make it the manufacturers problem how heavy these are

[zelcpavle]

What about the repair??😅 And how to repair the 🔋??

the passenger's head at 0:43 looked a bit wobbly, those airbags from the side did not look like too efficient

Another sign crash tests suffer over a decade of standstill.

First they declared safety pop-up bonnets and ANNOYING warning chimes a safety feature, then they begun testing electrical vehicles as regular combustion engine cars.

We are MATURE enough to know the most sensitive part of these cars is lying underneath the chassis, very low to the ground. Regular tests never contemplated this... but cars actually get airborne during crashes especially at high speed.

A single puncture onto that sensitive part (i.e. the wide battery pack underneath the chassis) and not only your car is at serious risk of burning UNSTOPPABLY from the resulting chemical fire, but will also probably incinerate the whole car pile up. How's that for SAFETY test?

I am not interested to know if I am 0.5 point more protected than a similar model in a frontal crash, I am interested to know what models offer adequate underside protection to puncture and flex of the battery pack and main power wires in case of an accident. That will safeguard not only the single's life, but the lives of all those passengers involved in the same accident.
