Kia EV9 Crash Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Kia EV9 is a contender for Car of the Year 2024 and is Kia’s first three-row electric vehicle.In consequence the car is very large, however some would say presents a visual statement on the road. The vehicle comes kitted out with a range of child safety equipment and has a good dynamic performance, achieving a comfortable five-star score.
Do you like the Kia EV9?

Incredible. Built like a tank - esp in the side impact tests. Def has a low center of gravity as lots of SUVs almost rollover in the side test but it barely lifted its wheels. Nice.
What a tough kia
That’s pretty darn good. 👍🏼
excellent
Я бы хотело оказатся внутри если это оплачивает кия,и где сравнение с Теллурайд что не продаётся в Казахстане?
Why no info about speed at impact? Seems relevant.
it is standardized. you can Google it out.
40-50km/h or 30m/h
Maybe the sled car should be an identical weight. Make it the manufacturers problem how heavy these are
😅 Is it has steel bumper instead of foam? How is rear crash tests?
the passenger's head at 0:43 looked a bit wobbly, those airbags from the side did not look like too efficient
Tank!
What about the repair??😅 And how to repair the 🔋??
I mean light fender benders can be repaired but for example side impact is probably a write off
battery fine in all these impacts
Heavy boi
Battery in?
Check out Vinfast VF9
Is EV9 is electric version of Kia Carens???
Something between a Telluride and high end spec Carnival sort of but on a brand new platform so no shared components.
@@sumanthponnambathkooloth2239 basically, it is better than any car that is going to be made by Indian manufacturers for the next 30 years
요것이 나왓네😅

Another sign crash tests suffer over a decade of standstill.
First they declared safety pop-up bonnets and ANNOYING warning chimes a safety feature, then they begun testing electrical vehicles as regular combustion engine cars.
We are MATURE enough to know the most sensitive part of these cars is lying underneath the chassis, very low to the ground. Regular tests never contemplated this... but cars actually get airborne during crashes especially at high speed.
A single puncture onto that sensitive part (i.e. the wide battery pack underneath the chassis) and not only your car is at serious risk of burning UNSTOPPABLY from the resulting chemical fire, but will also probably incinerate the whole car pile up. How's that for SAFETY test?
I am not interested to know if I am 0.5 point more protected than a similar model in a frontal crash, I am interested to know what models offer adequate underside protection to puncture and flex of the battery pack and main power wires in case of an accident. That will safeguard not only the single's life, but the lives of all those passengers involved in the same accident.
A battery is not nearly as unstable as 20-30 gallons of gasoline in a plastic or thin metal tank. Most cars have their gas tanks very exposed from underneath as well. Also many thin metal and rubber fuel lines.
@@wd1117 gasoline tanks are plastic for a reason. It takes a lot to get a crumple there and they can deform quite a lot before breaking.
Then what happens if you pierce a gas tank? It leaks... right? What happens instead if you puncture the cells of your lithium battery? Someone wasn't thinking.
The battery packs with the chemistry this KIA uses are likely to combust if directly hit at over 45 MPH. Of course, the battery packs - there are several in the KIA battery - are protected by rather thick battery walls and the car’s body structure that the battery is robustly fastened to. So, the speed of side-impacting vehicle has to be significantly higher than 45 MPH to cause battery combustion. At such high speeds, the side impact is likely going to be fatal anyway.
Frontal impacts are not as cut and dry. Typically, well-constructed EVs like this one have crash elements and battery front end shapes that make the battery slide out to the side rather than plunge directly into the obstacle. However, otherwise not necessarily fatal higher speed crashes into poles and trees do sometimes result in EV battery combustion. The people inside usually have about 90 seconds after such crash to get out, or otherwise getting burnt to death.
So, the EV crashes do have nuances. On one hand, practically all currently sold EVs have excellent active safety and will forcefully brake, and some of them even swerve, automatically, which is bound to decrease the impact speed. On the other hand, certain types of crashes have a morbid finality in EVs, with “automated cremation” right on the spot. This aspect of EVs is less attractive.
@@gratefulliving1760 There's also the "bollard" case where cars apparently intact on the outside are absolutely ripped apart on the underside. Accidents are unpredictable... but outcomes can be.
It's like when they begun using the dangerous flammable refrigerant 1234yf for HVAC systems despite engineering claims and tests that proved that gas represented a safety hazard.
What did they do? They establish a commission that said otherwise... How could have they said something different? It' was directly impacting their finances and margins.
The government knows the more damage you don't prevent the more speculative the market is. Nobody says it but it's exactly the way it is. If nothing burns, you are unscathed... money doesn't move, you're futile.
@@m80116 In the US, instead of bollards, we have metallic elements of fallen apart exhaust systems and garden maintenance equipment strewn on the roads. The effect is at times very similar. Early Tesla Model S was notorious for catching those and combusting. Then Tesla installed a heavily reinforced shield under the battery, and such cases became much more rare.
In EV9 battery, packs with Li-ion pouches are separated from bottom-placed cold plate with a very thick layer of elastic thermo-conductive compound. So, to get to the electrolyte, a piercing object would have to go through the battery shield, then through two metallic sides of the cold plate, then through the elastic compound, and only then through the admittedly rather thin pouch wall.
So, there is some decent underbelly protection on EV9. Not as robust as that on Rivian vehicles or on Tesla Cybertruck, yet I would say not as - well, almost absent - as on some much cheaper EVs still sold today. All in all, my personal investigation convinced me that EV9 shall be fairly safe for typical city driving and acceptably safe for driving on major interstate highways.
I would not take EV9 off-roading at all. I would be very careful driving it on rural highways and expressways: in the US, those may be severely undulating in places, and are mostly used by high clearance trucks and SUVs, which easily glide over some dangerous debris that EV9 might catch with its battery.
As to the "1234 You F*cked" refrigerant, my best guess is that there are big money interests involved: this refrigerant is patented, and, as I understand, just two factories in the world produce it in large quantities - one in China, and another in the US. It is currently used in about 50% of new cars, so it appears that whoever stands behind its introduction doesn't have an all-encompassing power.

That’s pretty darn good. 👍🏼
