Watch: MQB car small overlap crash test
- Thread starter veeeight
- Start date
Wow. That makes you think huh! How fast was the car going? Airbags or not that driver is dead if not very badly hurt!
It's a 40 mph crash test.
The results say:
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
So yeah he'd walk away. The head did slide to the side and go between the airbags, but it didn't actually hit the pillar.
Full crash test details are here: Vehicle details
What on earth is that barrier made of?! It was barely scratched, let alone deformed in any way!
Bear in mind that's a simulation of hitting an immovable object such as a tree, rather than another vehicle which would deform with its own crumple zones and, as such, is a very harsh test.

Thanks for the links. Agree with Vertigo1.
Looks like a solid car & more so for the barrier! One of the offset crashes appeared to take out the wheel and wing completely so wonder how the drivers legs survived....

Appears to be solid steel plate (probably an inch or so thick), presumably filled with concrete and concreted into the floor too.
