Xiaomi SU7 60km/h Head-On Crash Test Standard & Working Condition Explained | Safety Performance

How was the standard for the 60km/h two-vehicle head-on crash test determined at the launch event? How should this test scenario be understood?

This crash test simulates the common “frontal vehicle-to-vehicle collision” that occurs on urban two-way main roads, similar to real-life head-on crashes between two cars. The test scenario is derived from the official test conditions of C-NCAP (China New Car Assessment Program).

Compared with the standard test conditions, both vehicles in this test traveled at a speed increased by 20%, resulting in collision kinetic energy equivalent to 1.44 times that of the standard condition, making the test significantly more stringent.

After colliding with a standard test barrier vehicle, the new-generation SU7 maintained intact structural integrity of its A, B, and C pillars. The airbags and pretensioner seatbelts functioned properly, the battery pack showed no abnormalities, windows automatically lowered, hazard lights activated promptly, the E-CALL emergency system was triggered with manual customer service connection, and all doors unlocked and opened normally. Even after manually disconnecting the 12V power supply, all doors could still be opened reliably via the triple-redundant safety door handles.

Meanwhile, under this elevated crash speed, the dummy injury data of the new-generation SU7 still remained within the limits required for occupant protection, fully verifying its outstanding safety performance.

Safety is the foundation and prerequisite of Xiaomi vehicles; safety comes above all else. The new-generation SU7 is built to industry-leading high safety standards with comprehensive upgrades to its safety design, so you can purchase and drive with complete confidence.
