EX35 Crash Test...

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

The dashboard shattered into a bunch of pieces on the side impact test...so did all the stuff on the outside of the car - mirrors and whatnot. Side curtain airbags to the rescue!

Cool stuff - thanks EXceptional!

if you guys planned to have a side on accident, better put some tins on the windows so you won't have broken glass in your face.

I don't think anybody "plans" on having an accident.

It doesn't matter which Vehicle you have that gets the Side Impact test... they're all gonna get some Glass flying around.

In this example, it looks like the Passenger will get the brunt of the Glass... and the the Driver will get the brunt of the Impact.

True! Tinting might save you from plastic surgery after side impact accident.
