Crash Test of 2002-2005 Landrover Freelander wo/sab

[wai93]

It is the rear mounted spare tire which broke the glass.

Watch other similar tests, glass in this test usually remains fine.

[Mational1990]

@sideslide23 I got your point, though u also have an suv like those with tires on the boot. But it is considered easier to change the punctured tire and that too, offroad vehicles need it.

[sideslide23]

Never buy SUV with a rear mounted spare tire.

[jonnielahti]

just unscrew the sparewheel and put it into the trunk :)

[G0Far]

Hard to believe damages were ONLY $2,096.

[midgetmayo]

@G0Far Keep in mind the vehicle was moving at a blistering.. 5mph

[crazydevil360]

what happend was when the tire hits the pole the tire is squishing in the trunk so its putting pressure and the window will eventuly shatter

[nick24391]

And I swear that a window was there when I turned my head.

[metakight4]

cheap glass lol

[firedemon101]

@metakight4 tempered

[metakight4]

@firedemon101 i knew it was tempered but i didn't notice the tire break it until now =l

[aloisbembel]

Yeah Landie, just throw your rear window away. A real outdoor car doesn´t need one.

[DudeWithaPage]

wow i would hate to see what that does to a rav4

[Fiilme]

ell thats a piece of shit

[262Blazer]

the moral of this story is exterior spares are evil

[drcheese42]

carsuks 3 star crappy rating in ncap...

[rohleks]

remind me not to do tht

[gebro87]

The tire was a blesing 4 dis car lol

[themasteratarms]

the wag test LOL

[krazieness]

no wonder they stopped puting tires on the back

[niallwhite]

it wasnt the tire that broke the window, it was the brake light

[krazieness]

lol ill take that as a sarcasm

[hornbytrainsets]

no it wasnt. watch when they show the birds eye view again. the door bent inward and of course glass cant bend so it broke. But i do see your side aswell

[Porsche1080]

@niallwhite rather a combination of both

[Number1BadBoyInnit]

Ha ha! Great 'reversing-retard' test. You see loads of SUVs with big dings in the back from reversing mistakes!

[Memphis35]

What a piece of crap. I thought SUVs are supposed to be all strong and tough...

Nope, they are for latte sipping homos.

[wakodako2007]

omfg, have u seen what happens to most cars that do that? lol

[roastoo00ooveges]

Really? I hope you die from cancer.

[Memphis35]

I probably will nigger, but you will die from aids you big poof

[darossiter]

I went into the back of a Rav4 at low speed and because of the location of the tyre I pretty much ruined the front end of my Golf and only cracked the carbon fiber tyre cover. Having said that it was £270 for a new cover from Toyota for them, and only £100 for a new crash panel, bonnet and front grill for my Golf. Bloody Toyotas! (I now drive a Toyota, but not a Rav4)

[landroverdiscovery2]

wow... i got hit in the rear of my discovery by some guy going 40 and didnt break my back window

[99caca99]

no its cause of the tired... or els it would of hited the bumper

[littlesht2]

lol my aunt backed up into a tree with her rav4 and the back windo didnt even break...but everything else got fucked up

[JDG198569]

yeah there goes 2000 dollars down the drain for a fender bender

[TornadoWarrior1]

glass go smash. ha ha ha ha!

[200103511]

Having the spare tyre on the back is the worst place to have it. It always causes problems when the suv hits things, even at low speeds like this one.

[ktpellas]

yes, thats true, not also it can cause damage to the glass but also to the liftgate, which takes up a lot of damage because there is no rear bumper

[BezManQatar]

But in reality there are other considerations for a 4x4 for practicalities sake, bonnet means less visibility, under the rear means less clearance, inside takes up space. back door is the most practcial place to put it really.

[whattheheck1000]

lol, the glass breaks! that car is weak.

[swordfish1986]

Idiot! Thats because the wheel is not deformable, so it smashes into the rear.
