AvtoVAZ tested Lada Azimut, simulating a collision on a pedestrian

AvtoVAZ tested the Lada Azimut crossover while imitating a collision with a pedestrian at a speed of about 40 km / h, the press service of the company reported.

Models of a person’s head and legs were used to check. The leg model has 12 sensors that record the load on impact and allow you to assess the risk of injury.

"During the tests, the recorded loads did not exceed normative values," the report said.

Testing takes place on a special stand. For the certification of Lada Azimut, such tests are not required, they are carried out additionally.

Azimut is a new Lada crossover on the deeply modernized Russian platform Lada Vesta. According to the manufacturer, Russian specialists were engaged in the development of the car - from the creation of the concept, layout and design to the design, production and configuration of all systems, functions and driving qualities of the model. About 1,000 original components and parts were created for Azimut, including body panels, chassis and engine elements, lighting and interior details.

Sales of Lada Azimut are scheduled to begin in early December. The first cars rolled off the assembly line in Togliatti on September 25.
