That video also makes a case for crash compatibility, as the Q7 appears to ride over the 500.

Indeed! In the interests of balance the ADAC were also using this as an example of compatibility issues between differing vehicle impact scructure heights.

High sided vehicles with a high centre of gravity like a Range Rover or Land Rover SUV's are easy to to roll over they should have more tests on rollovers as a lot of folk die in these sort of crashes in the real world Jon.

How predictable! Should have thought you would bring Land Rover into it.

 

Anyway this why the latest Landies have an array of passive and active rollover protection and prevention systems.

I was only pulling your leg Land Rovers are one of the best in the SUV class, but you can't help but admire how well the Falcon has done in these tough Aussie crash tests and was awarded a very high 34.6 points
