Latest Euro NCAP Ratings Refocus Attention on Improving Vehicle Compatibility
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Leuven, 9 December 2020
Today, #euroncap publishes its fourth and largest batch of new results of the year. Seven cars were tested against Euro NCAP's latest protocols. The #audia3sportback, #seatleon, #isuzudmax, #kiasorento and #landroverdefender achieve the maximum five stars. The #hondae settles for four stars and the #hyundaii10 gets three.
Both the new #audia3sportback and #seatleon sit on the same MQB-II platform as last year's Golf VIII but now feature a centre airbag to improve far-side impact protection. When it comes to #safety, the VW group siblings are in no way inferior to their famous cousin, but it is the Leon that, thanks to more compatible front-end design, has the upper hand with a very creditable 92 percent for Adult Occupant Protection.
The #isuzudmax pick-up was rated by partner Australasian NCAP earlier this year. Some tests have been repeated by #euroncap to ensure a valid rating for the European market. Competing in a segment that is not famous for highlighting #safety, the D-MAX crew cab is impressively equipped, with standard restraints, AEB and a new centre airbag. However, the mobile progressive deformable barrier #test showed that its weight and front structure make the pick-up aggressive to other vehicles in a collision. The same is true of the #landroverdefender: larger and heavier than previous models, the new Defender is equipped with modern driver-assistance systems to prevent and mitigate, as far as possible, collisions with other road-users. Another heavy-weight, the #kiasorento, is the 4th generation large off-roader tested by #euroncap. It comes with new #safety updates, including KIA's first centre airbag and advanced e-Call system, and thanks to these retains its 5 stars, despite its underwhelming performance in the frontal offset crash.
Honda's new electric supermini, the #hondae, represents the state of the art for green driving. It lacks some of the more advanced #safety features present in the Honda Jazz but produces a respectable four-star rating in Euro NCAP's latest tests, nevertheless. The more conventional #hyundaii10 brings up the rear in this batch of tests. In the full-width frontal impact, the driver's pelvis slipped under the lap belt, a phenomenon known as 'submarining'. The #hyundaii10 also offers a more limited AEB functionality then some other small cars, and ends up with three stars overall.
Euro NCAP's Secretary-General, Michiel van Ratingen, says "Poor crash compatibility between vehicles has been a problem for years. Now, in 2020, we have a frontal #test which can assess how a vehicle performs in this regard and can penalise those cars that perform poorly. This is a first for #safety assessment and should lead to better, more compatible designs in the future."
Euro NCAP also evaluated three new hybrid and electric variants of cars tested in earlier years. The Renault CAPTUR 5-star rating of last year now also covers the CAPTUR E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid. The Peugeot's 3008 SUV Hybrid, the 508 Hybrid and the electrified 208 join the 2016, 2018 and 2019 ratings respectively.
