A controlled crash test between a hybrid CLA Shooting Brake and an electric CLA has been conducted to analyze occupant safety and battery behavior during high-speed impacts. Researchers deliberately collided the vehicles at a moderate speed to observe how the high-voltage battery in the electric model reacts under extreme stress. The experiment aims to provide insights into structural integrity and potential risks in electric vehicle accidents. Findings could influence future safety standards and vehicle design improvements.
Engineers ram a hybrid CLA Shooting Brake into an electric CLA at 35 mph to watch occupant injuries and the high-voltage battery response.
