Premium vehicle manufacturer Exeed has found an unorthodox way to prove the safety of its Exlantix ET electric SUV. The company hoisted the car on a construction crane and dropped it from a height of 32 meters (105 feet). Verdict? If there were people inside the car, they wouldn’t even be injured, Exeed claims.
The SUV was allowed to drop onto a specially prepared, 40 mm (1.6”) thick steel plate. The test crew reckoned that the freefall speed of the car had reached 90 km/h (55 mph) by the moment of impact.
As you can see in the photos below, the car was practically demolished from the a-pillars forward. However, the a-pillars themselves were “barely deformed”, according to Exeed, all airbags deployed as normal and the doors swung open without issue.
A special team inspected the electric car 10 minutes after the fall and was unable to detect any battery damage that could potentially lead to a fire. This was largely thanks to the car cutting out its power supply immediately upon the impact. There were no liquid leaks, either.
Exeed arranged the test right before the sales launch of the new Exlantix ET. The company boasts that the crossover can absorb the energy of the impact with utmost efficiency, crumpling where it can afford to do so while protecting the cabin and the battery with its robust metal cage.
