Has not read the details yet. But with so little impact area, it is really hard to have the energy absorbed or transferred. Will the new test promote a new wave of development of safety design?
And for an apple to apple comparison, a S40 should be more appropriate, imo
Don't know the scoring standard, but Acura TL and S60 are mid-size cars. don't know much about the Infiniti G. So wonder if size matters, or more expensive models of the same vendor would do better
It seems to me that those got good or acceptable score slipped forward, while most of the failed cases, the passenger cell took all the energy and stopped there
owned a Volvo before and you do feel very safe from the moment you close the door. Never had a crash to test out how safe it is. But Volvo is not enjoyable to drive. Japanese cars now feels not as solid after experiencing Volvo.
i think modern day cars are already safe enough for everyday driving conditions, the most important thing is for the drivers to drive carefully instead of having a tank-liked car , its shocking to see those crash tests, just remind us driving safely is our priority
