Daihatsu vehicles' crash-safety bodies not only clear the Japanese and European collision safety standards but are also engineered to provide ample survival space in crash tests combining a variety of test methods implemented around the world.
Moreover, Daihatsu conduct collision experiments based on our original standards, such as car-to-car crash tests to simulate actual-situation traffic accidents of diverse types, in an effort to provide higher safety performance. |
To protect occupants in an accident, the cabin has been made extra-rigid and crushable structures have been used in the body's front and rear sections to absorb impact. Terios takes crash-safety design a step further with a structure that disperses the impact energy from a collision throughout the body frame.
Repeated vehicle-to-vehicle crash tests were conducted using vehicles of different sizes and weights to come up with designs that provide maximum protection to the occupants of both vehicles. This "mutual-safety compatible structure"* has been adopted in Terios.
| * |  | In a collision between vehicles of different weights, this concept aims at improving safety in the lighter vehicle and reducing the heavier vehicle's potential to damage the lighter one, thereby minimising the damage sustained by both cars. | | |
Terios is designed to minimise the impact to a pedestrian's head and legs in the event of an accident.
