Crash Test 2004 - 2006 Kia Amanti / Opirus (Frontal Impact) IIHS

Kia Amanti
2004-06 models
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Acceptable Good Good Good Acceptable Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Kia Amanti was introduced in the 2004 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummys head hit the roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower right leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was low.

Do you know what speed the car is going in this video please?? :D

40 m.p.h / 64 k.p.h

Pretty safe and nice to see such a good performance from a manufacturer which people are inclined to diss.

[V0ree]

40 mph is really slow for a frontal impact test I think.....

[xxhfdxx]

@V0ree they test every car in the same speed

@kjhkim kia souls blow my nuts. amanti's are actually decent luxury wise.

[Cytr0gen]

@grrrrrrrrrrrreg NO U SHUT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@revolutionday1 yeah the other car of course

@ChrisBennett18 I'm saying, it's just extremely unlikely a front end crash that fast occurs, and if it does, it's almost garunteed death, The human body just cannot cope with that, maybe in 25-50 years we we will have advanced enough to be that safe, but its not now, the best we can hope to prevent death with right now is a 60mph crash against a wall, not a front on, closing speed=speed of 2 cars combined, with that kind of closing speed, nothing lives,60 mph crash tests are used,just not here.

[ChrisBennett18]

i never said anything that have to do a rear crash test all i want if they are willing to do 45 not 40 because most of the road i drive on is 45 or 50 and thats mostly it

[sparks12001]

@ChrisBennett18 It's because crashes above 40 are extremely rare, on a highway with 55-65 mph, it is extremely unlikely one will hit another, and even then it would be like carelessness, one guy going 50, the other guy going 60, and its a 10mph impact from the rear, it just doesnt happen, giving 100 mph as a highway extreme, and 60mph being the average highway speed, this test will account for that too, a front on collision of 2 60 mph cars gives a closing speed of 120 mph, nothing survives.

[ChrisBennett18]

why dont they do 45mph thats how fast every one goes on the roads anyways also they should do high speed crash test too at least up to 65mph or 55 mph
