Crash and safety

Long high performance energy absorbing rear and front parts and an effective side structure
complete the role of body design in crashworthiness.

To ensure that no change or deterioration in the performance and characteristics of the car
occurs after a bodywork repair it is extremely important for repair work to be carried out correctly
using the proper materials.

Safety
Automotive crashworthiness is defined as the capability of a vehicle to provide adequate protection
for its occupants in the events of collision. In X7, utilising wisely a combination of high performance
energy absorbing front and rear structures with well-tuned restraint systems, make its passenger
cage a reliable survival area.

Induced frontal impact forces are gradually dissipated through two main paths where around 60%
of the total loads transfer by means of side-rail assembly. Having created plastic zones in pre-
designed buckling locations, the crash kinetic energy is greatly reduced by its way through these
paths. The direct result for the passengers will be a moderate crash pulse, which minimise their
injuries. The remaining forces will be distributed as uniformly as possible among sills and
the two straight members underneath of the floor panel.

In the event of side crashes, the severity of injuries is completely dependant on body side
geometrical and mechanical specifications. To lower the risk of injuries, X7 side structure is
designed to resist an acceptable level of imposed loads, while deformation pattern is appropriate in
B-pillar. Thanks to the robust design of the side structure, doorside impact beams and passenger's
driving position, the X7 is armed with a safe cage against any accident that has a catastrophic
lateral loading.

Caution
In order for IKCO to be able to accept responsibility and guarantee continued crash safety after
repairs, it is essential the body-work is carried out in the correct manner and with correct
materials.
