Safety is the number one priority for parents nowaday as they often spend hours on the road with their kids on the back seats of their vehicles. Either for the daily school run, or for a family trip during the weekends, families are firmly on the road together every day. So comfort and safety are the on the top of the list for them when they shop for a new family car.
Therefore, Kia’s team experimented with a new type of vehicle crash test meant to illustrate the high rigidity body structure of its new stylish minivan, the Grand Carnival (Sedona), which is also budget friendly priced.
Instead of a traditional crash test against a stationary wall, Kia dropped the car from up high after building a 90-degree angle vertical street using 6219.6 meters of steel pipe. The project took 15 days and 76 personnel to complete. Kia then hoisted the Grand Carnival and dropped it from a height of 12.6 meters, which results in the exact same impact as a standard 56 km/h crash test.
This demonstration is a fresh interpretation of how the vastly improved highly rigidity of Grand Carnival’s body structure and frame minimize the impact of a crash, which in turn keeps passengers safe in the event of a collision.
The 2016 Sedona features trusted active and passive safety systems to help driver and passengers stay on course in the event of crash. Intuitive systems, like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC), that help people maintain better control. With a body made of 55% high-strength steel and patented technologies that provide outstanding durability, the Sedona is modern engineering that offers an assured command of the road.
