[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

Yes

[@peer7727]

Yes

[@coleh2053]

Hammare 123 Yes and No, the volvo moved passed the which means it absorbed a lot less energy than the Q7. The Volvo move into unpredictability because as it moves past the initial crash it continues forward likely with the driver rendered unconscious due to the airbags. It is almost always better if the car is stopped by the crash, as the XC90 could've caused or been the victim of a second impact if not stopped by the first.

[@coleh2053]

Eric Fortune Exactly my point the volvo did not stop.

[@advance7723]

+Cole Haggarty the volvo lose one of its wheel, so yeah it will stop eventually.

[@keaien]

Some brilliant engineering from volvo. Structure guided car away from side collision. The door is secondary issue, as long as it opens it's good.

[@bogdanb5664]

Volvo's wheel "jumps" out on impact so the rest of the chassis took the energy of the crash. Audi's front wheel gets squezeed in between, which results in less absorbing area and the cars suffers hi g-force. Look how the Volvo deflects to the right on impact and the cars still moves at a considerable speed- less shock for passengers. Volvo's target to eliminate death and serious injuries in their cars is much closer.

[@redishman]

Yeah, I see what you mean but I think is hard to believe this will replicate every time in the same way in real world. Also I think people who buy Volvo's are thinking of safety...their safety.

[@TheFPSPower]

You're thinking about the unlikely, volvo thinks about saving the driver and everyone inside, the outside cannot be controlled and is to be protected by other safety systems, like having railings or pillars on the pedestrian walk places (don't know how to call in english)

[@redishman]

then that's even better. I do have a Volvo for safety reasons the next car will be also a Volvo

[@phillipshaku1046]

BTICronox well emagine 2 cars going this speed in the city, then the drivers are fault anyway. + if they are only driving the allowed 50 km/h then after the hit the volvo will maybe go with 5 km/h onto the sidewalk. + hitting another car, the volvo will not be pushed 2 the side but push the other car just away from itself.

[@Xanthopteryx]

BTICronox: In a real world situation the Volvo would have applied auto brake and stopped before hitting the barrier. And IF it didn't auto brake, when the car detects a crash it will apply full braking to prevent or minimize further damage. And then it will unlock all the doors so rescue team can enter and it would have dialed emergency number automatically telling the operator what forces was involved, if airbags deployed, number of passengers and so on. And of course the emergency lights will be turned on, and fuel distribution would shut down and the car will enter emergency mode. And besides all this, the belts will pretension BEFORE the crash even happens.

Interesting, the Volvo just slide over the barrier, Audi crash in it and bounce back, both showed good body structure. But I would believe passengers in xc90 withstand much less force in the crash, Volvo are safer.

[@o0o74]

a good safety should slide over the small barrier to prevent recoil, in much faster speed for both car, Audi driver will die on the spot due to bounce back, momentum kills, even in this situation the momentum is very strong audi driver face just throw to the front suffer great neck injuries 1:29

Master Silence i would believe that's just the sheet metal peeled off, frame of the door is still on the body, as you can see it near window clearly

[@gabbermaikel]

only the outer shell peeled of, the volvo side impact bar wil still be there in the door frame. And as the guy here said because the volvo made it slide off to the side you wont feel as much of the impact and that means there chance they get out without any injuries is pretty big. Only thing they will probably suffer is some small cuts from the glass pieces that fly all around in the car and maybe some minor burns from the airbags.

[@vtl1349]

Because Volvo driver's neck was not brutally twisted, like Audi's did, he can walk out right away. The car has even conveniently opened the door for him. Top safety and luxury as is.

[@Integratedcraig]

Notice that the Audi does not offer a drivers side knee air bag..

[@fredrikjonsson6410]

Integratedcraig knee airbags are used when the seat can not handle powerful enough belt tentioner.

[@gabbermaikel]

i hope you do understand that is bullshit? If they use a more powerful belt tensioner they will cause injuries or even kill people with it. So adding other things the prevent you from getting hurt is better then just making the pull on the belt even bigger.

[@fredrikjonsson6410]

bob rosco no. belt tension is first choice. knee airbags is second. worked 20 year with car seat engineering.

[@fredrikjonsson6410]

the trick is to position the passenger correctlly in the seat in the crash moment. If seat structure can not take the load from multiple tensioners you have to compensate with knee airbag. airbags are sensitive for seating position. tensioners are not. manufactorers that have knee airbag were not able to get the seat structure to be strong enough.

Mimo wszystko, w audi, nawet jeżeli przeżyje się zderzenie, to na pewno trafi się do szpitala z obrażeniami. W volvo system SIPS tak rozkłada siłę uderzenia, że nie jest ono tak bardzo odczuwalne przez użytkowników. Sama przetestowałam ten system na sobie. Z prędkością 120 km/h wylądowałam na drzewie i nie tylko nic mi się nie stało, ale również ledwo czułam szarpnięcie w trakcie uderzenia. Całe moje obrażenia, to lekki ból w karku od naciągnięcia mięśni, w klatce piersiowej od pasa i maleńkie zadrapanie na nodze. Z auta wyszłam o własnych siłach. Poduchy czy kurtyny powietrzne, to jedno, a amortyzacja uderzenia, to dopiero majstersztyk inżynierii. Zresztą, niektórzy mieli okazję przekonać się na własnej skórze, jak twardym autem jest volvo. Chyba w żadnym innym aucie nie wyjdzie się cało z czołówki z tirem.

Legendary Dark Mafia they both do but their testing how safe the cars are if they were to get into a crash

[@christophstoebich]

the volvo is so much better in all the tests, see how it slides away and the wheel gets out of the car, i would prefere 100 times the volvo in this scenario

[@christophstoebich]

yes but usualy if it slides on the right side, there is no other car, and for the passengers this will make a loooot less braking delay and can make an incredible better outcome

[@avalonreality]

If it slides on the right side you could end up crashing into a tree or pole afterwards, and the same isn't quite as likely with the Audi. However, they're both rated very safe cars so it's hard to tell which one is objectively "better." Seems like Volvo's reputation is enough to convince people their cars are the safest no matter what.

[@rothdareal]

It slows xc90 down - it stops few meters after the crash. it's only 64 km/h. Accident in q7 with 80km/h and you will not survive

[@ThunderWindz]

what kills you is deacceleration.. you dont want the car to brake instant, u want it to do what volvo did.. else u get to much G-force for your organs to handle

[@lyubohar]

It doesn't matter, your odds are still better compared to that Audi, which is getting all the impact energy. Mind you these tests are made with 50 or 60km/h. Imagine crashing with 100km/h. Your organs will become a soup, regardless how good the cage and the airbags of the Audi are. With the Volvo you escape most of this energy altogether. So whatever danger waits for you when you slide to the right, it is a) most likely stationary and not moving towards you, b) part of your speed is already gone and c) you are still in a very, very safe car.

[@alexb243]

А мне кажется машина 16 года отработала лучше, т.к. колесо отвалилось и автомобиль продолжил движение, а в машине 17 года весь удар пришелся на водителя.

[@SterlingSigurdsen]

So I am a Volvo guy through and through, however if you slow the videos down even more when the initial impact happens, you will see the airbags on the Audi actually deploy faster than on the Volvo. I am curious than which is better for protecting occupants. If anyone has insight on if it is better for the airbag to deploy quicker or to be delayed a fraction of a second longer like it did here in the Volvo.

[@SMGJohn]

Volvo cars seem to be designed to push outwards against anything it crashes into, in this instant it pushes itself outwards, I believe this is more to the point that most car crashes are not head on collisions but rather side crashes, in these cases you rather have the car slide past the colliding car or object rather than coming to a halt like the Audi, that way all the momentum the Volvo built up will by natural physics slow itself down which is far safer than coming to a full stop like the Audi, this is why most fatalities happens in full stop collisions even if compartment is not compromised, our organs are not designed for things like this.

[@djdoomy]

Very nice comment but in both cars you have the airbags which are designed to absorb the full stop. But what happens if the car is not stopping at the impact but continues to slide forward without a front wheel? If it hits another car the airbags have been already deployed, what is protecting you from the second collision?

[@timhe9170]

@@djdoomy number one - you need to be still alive to think about second collision. number two - audi will have the same issue because the Q7 is complete 90 degree in the middle of the road. It won't be able to prevent another car hitting them either.

Hunne0815 you are a fool. Did you see the horrible whiplash the Audi dummy suffered. Your neck can't be replaced. Your car can. Volvo won this by a mile buy not having the shock of the Audi.

[@BorisTerekidi]

The impact and g-forces sustained by passengers in an Audi are greater than in a Volvo. The sudden change in direction (Audi basically stopped and bounced back in the opposite direction) can alone cause serious injuries to your neck and back (whiplash). Volvo's deceleration was much more gradual. My wife worked at a rehabilitation clinic (with people after car accidents) and the vast majority of injuries are actually caused by whiplash.

[@Unaveragetrainguy]

I 'like' the fact that the Volvo just slides past because I think this scenario is likely to happen where there are other cars to the right of, and/or behind the crashing vehicle. The Volvo continuing forward allows slightly more time, I think, for moving vehicles to the right or behind to avoid to avoid or slow down, if not stop; whereas in the case of the Audi (and frankly all of the other vehicles I have seen pass this test), the collision is very suddenly halted, putting that much more of the impact through the passengers, and causing the vehicle to fishtail to the right - becoming a wall for the cars to the right and behind it. I believe, that even if the passengers of the Audi survive the first impact, they would perish in the second and third impacts of the vehicles slamming into (now structurally compromised) drivers side, having stopped sooner; whereas the Volvo side sweeps the collision and comes to a stop somewhere ahead of itself. The cars behind a critical second more to react to avoid/slow down, tho probably colliding into the less structurally compromised rear of the Volvo. Watching these small overlap tests is jarring and eye-opening!

[@wakkitep]

I'm just curious but are these cars ready to drive. I mean to they have the engine and all that to just hop on and drive away? (kind of a stupid question since the test would be irrelevant whatsoever, but I don't know about testing) Like ofc the engine and all is there but is the car itself drive-able?

[@ferlykusumo]

After watching a few small overlaps on many Volvo's. It turns out almost all Volvo cars are slightly better in throw away kinetic energy to reduce the impact strength. So I'm on the Swede's side when it comes to safety.

The sudden stop gives me the impression of a stronger car and that it is safer for vehicles and people outside, but the rapid decelaration seems to be worse for the driver and passengers. As a driver or passenger, I would prefer to be in the Volvo due to the smoother deceleration.

[@VinnesRC]

No, the volvo has got a system that if the car hits another car on the side there are some metal bars which makes it slide past if it is under 25% overlap. And if it hits head on, it will hit the frame. So basically when it overlaps it will not hit the frame of the car, because it will slide on the side of the frame.

[@rothdareal]

Why absorb when it can be deflected?

[@ElChus]

Yeah, avoiding a severe deceleration surely makes it safer, but the idea of the Small Overlap Crash Test is to see how well the A pillar and footwell withstands the crash and also how well frontal and curtain airbags dampens the energy of the oblicuous movement of the dummy. As the new XC90 tront structure seems to be designed to guide the car away from the obstacle, there's no way of seeing this. And I'm not saying it won't be able to perform excellent in this area, Volvo always has been the best regarding structural rigidity, but if the car "skips" the obstacle, this test loses all its purpose.

[@chinichi23751]

This test is about driver safety, not structure strength...

When this test was introduced, Volvo was the only one who made it. All other failed. That's because Volvo builds cars that could protect passengers in a crash.

The Xc90 is just so much more comfortable and beautiful then like a q7 (I drove in both cars more than a few times, and the volvo even had a fridge with champagne in the back, while the audi had that touchpad on the gear lever) both were about the same price but definetly on a different level

[@boby0192]

how is the q7 large suv and the xc90 midsize? i dont get it

[@nathalie468]

I actually like both

Q7???????

[@plcsyvonnekathleenpantuan584]

Yes

[@12skits63]

Idk why everyone is saying they would have one or the other, I would take either one! Both are very safe suv's!

[@roberthay4211]

The Audi airbags deploy too early. Then when the Audi slows down massively when hitting the bulkhead, the bags are already deflated, causing the dummy's head to strike the A pillar. The Volvo deals with this situation much better, with later deployment, and then the car avoids the massive slow down, without hitting the bulkhead. It has struts under the bonnet, that will deflect the car away from just a situation. I am not an automotive engineer, but from a common sense view, would rather be in the Volvo

If you look (1:37) you'll notice the Volvo had an airbag pop where the knees are, the Audi didn't.

[@Liquidsnowskater]

Would not surprise me if next generation of Q7 also slides away from the barrier. The trend is and have always been, that Volvo develop new safety standards that the rest of the market copies. I would sure as hell prefer to be in the Volvo in that specific crash. The kenetic forces are way lower towards head and neck in the volvo. The measurements-facts in this thread is clear about that. Stay safe, drive carefully, no matter in witch brand!

Bottom line: the final reports for both cars showed orange (marginal) in certain areas for the Audi but the Volvo aced the tests with Green (good) and Yellow (adequate) and that was backed up by the IIHS crash tests showing better numbers for the Volvo as well... as Charlie Sheen would say the Volvo is "winning"

[@akj2387]

No. The final report for the Audi was all green apart from the foot which was yellow/acceptable

@@steve8510 What a troll lol. Check the small overlap results for the 2017-2020 Q7. There's only one "yellow" and the rest is green, you know this too. And in fact in 2021 they retested it and every body part is green now.

what's the reason for not having any neck support in either of the cars?

[@alexandermoore2982]

Better angle for the camera even though it doesn't show proper whiplash testing.

[@whattheheck1000]

Volvo is safer, the structure is stronger and the airbags are much better. Also Audi has used Takata airbags in the past. Volvo is one of the few manufacturers that never used a Takata airbag. August 15, 2017 3:10 am

[@jaygenson4788]

Both did well, but Audi is the safer choice I feel. To those saying that the Volvo slid off the barrier, less force etc blah blah blah that argument has no weight. In a real world crash you won't always have a barrier to slid off of, so the vehicle that took the impact head on and showcased its ability and strength was the Audi and it's injuries measures were all good like the volvos so it's not about Volvo being safer, they both are but the Audi took the entire impact like a pro and held up. Who knows how the volvos structure would hold up bc it slid off.

[@jdishner]

Jay Genson No, because physics.

[@bustadog1000]

today cars have to absorb,..... both are a credit,..... but the Volvo takes the shock away from the cabin, some of that by letting go its wheel.....old days you had a girder built in to your bumper, that's gone, cars have come a long way since

[@steve8510]

And yet when I look at the final results there is orange (marginal) all over the Audi report and nothing but green and yellow for the Volvo... an easy victory to Volvo

[@mau3304]

Jay Genson then watch another crash test of the volvo...audi fanboy

[@VinnesRC]

Go watch full video on xc90 crash test, and you will see the head collition.

well, it's a volvo. duh

Why no headrests?

[@piotrn9450]

so which one is safer?

[@julianlee2]

the audi is safer, because the car probably broke down and you won't be able to drive it

Maybe we are fan boys, but Volvo is still better haha

They didn't really crash test the Volvo against the wall did they? They crash tested the wall against the Volvo! They came to the conclusion that the wall is too weak to be use in further tests.
