Nissan Ariya's logo still works even though the car is smashed up

Nissan Ariya's logo still works even though the car is smashed up 01

The Nissan Ariya, the all-electric big crossover SUV brother to the seminal Nissan Leaf undergoes a series of very rigorous crash tests to ensure it possesses high levels of safety in the event of a collision. According to Nissan, it takes 1/1000th of a second for a Nissan crash test vehicle to fulfill its role.

That’s a literal “blink-and-you’ll-miss” moment that we can’t possibly describe unless one is secretly donning a red suit with a lightning bolt. However, there is one bright spark that possibly showcases the Ariya’s impeccable safety and in it’s in the crash test video Nissan has uploaded on its YouTube channel.

Even with everything smashed up, the Nissan logo still lights up

Despite being thrown at the wall at a certain speed, the Nissan logo in front is still intact and in fact, lights up. Maybe it’s made out of some strong material like vibranium. Oops, that’s a reference from a completely different comic book superhero universe.

That aside, the team of engineers at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan work tirelessly to ensure that the Ariya as well as every Nissan vehicle performs exceptionally in safety and crash tests.

Each Nissan vehicle is subjected to crash tests that include frontal-, side-, and rear-impact collisions along with those that simulate accidents when pedestrians are on the road. Engineers from Nissan’s Passive Safety Evaluation Group would then measure the force of impact and structural integrity of the vehicle.

As the Ariya will be sold in many markets (including, perhaps, Malaysia), the engineers would conduct more than 400 tests as well as analyse at least 100 data points.

Besides, with the Ariya being a pure EV, stricter safety measures are implemented, similar to the development of the Nissan Leaf. These include ensuring the Ariya’s high voltage battery pack retains its structural integrity after a crash without the electrodes leaking.
