Good thing it wasnt a cabriolet, The dash cam footage would be interesting . I don't think they test for that in ANCAP ratings.

I'm not surprised.
Seems like every car these days has a little bit of Volvo in them.

That would be the tough little freelander beginnings underneath it all.
The G forces at impact down the bottom must have been significant... it looked like it was going somewhere btwn 80-100 km/h and then dropped maybe 20m.
Ouch the occupants must have sore bums (and rattled brains).

And I always thought those thing were stupid looking hairdresser cars... designed by kids that used to play with those hotwheel cars with silly big wheels and no space inside :p :D :wasntme:
they must be monocoque .... Just about every seperate chassis type 4wd I can think of would have disitigrated on impact as the frail body sitting on top of the chassis crushed as flat as a pancake :eek:
