The navara seemed to fair better than the 2008 Isuzu, at least the cockpit area stayed intact. Love these slow mo test videos.

This is impressive - if you have to have a serious accident it's a pretty good place to be:-

 

 

It is interesting to compare it to the previous version:-

 

 

I have never seen a Defender crash tested in this way, but I bet the result would be terrifying and the chances of survival very small indeed.

I reckon the Navara did visually better than the D-Max. The thing I found most interesting, was watching the Xantia. The way the transferral of energy moved through the car, forming a wave that moved through the entire length of the bodywork; and when it got to the rearmost of the structure, popped the boot open.

 

I've also learned that the safest place to be in a Fiat Seicento crash, is not being in the car. I think that one would have woken the sleeping hamster in the boot.

I know someone who rear-ended a Jag at high speed. The Jag was decelerating sharply from approx. 60mph. The cops reckoned my friend's Freelander had been going around 110mph before the crash and was still doing approx. 90mph at the time of impact. No human was killed, though my friend's Cruft's winning pooch was fatally injured.

 

The Jag was a write-off, the Freelander fared better. While the bonnet remained in intact and seemingly in place, the wheels tore off a wing apiece. The engine snapped off its mountings & forward driveshafts, travelled back through the bulkhead. The main part on the block ended up under the dashboard. What saved the legs of the front passenger & driver, was that the seats detached from their rails and moved backwards. What killed the dog, was not being retrained in any way and thus became just a moving bag of loose meat.

 

What amazed me after the fact, was that the dog was worth more than the Freelander, yet the owner-driver hadn't tried to look after it in the vehicle before the crash. What has continued to puzzle me, is that while her dogs now travel individually harnessed in a separated compartment. The experience has not cured her of travelling at high speed, in a vehicle that is not designed for racing multiple people and dogs. (The Freelander was repaired, kept for 6mths. and sold. She replaced it with another two Freelanders and now drives a 4x4 Ford.)
