The collapse tests were performed at a speed of 64.5 km/s-8 km/h than the requirements of the Russian legislation. This increased the energy of the effect by 30-35%, which made the tests much more complex. In a collision, all safety systems worked correctly: the body deformation zones swallowed a blow and protected the models with airbags.
In total, Lada Iskra 84 was performed during the development of accident tests. Returns, including frontal, side strokes and hitting behind, were also successful.
Avtovaz stressed that Iskra not only meets all regulatory requirements, but also has a significant power margin. This is confirmed by the data obtained from high or adequate protection models in all tests.
