Euro NCAP Crash Test Ford Mustang
When Euro NCAP began in 1997, he published two for the number of stars each car an adult occupant protection rating based on frontal and side impact tests, and protection RATIN pedestrians.
Initially the maximum price for each four stars was that it was extended to five stars for adult occupant protectection after a few years to recognize the improvements in the design of the car.
Euro NCAP completed in 2013 by publishing the results of crash tests for eleven new models.
Euro NCAP has released the first results of a rear collision avoidance systems and give credit in its January 2014 rating system for vehicle manufacturers that equip their models with forward collision warning and effective or AEB automatic braking technology .
AEB City works at low speeds to reduce rear-end accidents often associated with injuries to the neck whiplash.
interurban AEB works at higher speeds and targets related serious and fatal injuries that could be caused by driver distraction or lack of attention.
Euro NCAP focuses on the automatic braking function in its testing AEB City to 50 km h and tested the system performance of 6 vehicles.
Euro NCAP have scores between 0 and 3 points, which results in good, adequate or marginal.
Good - Volvo V40 - City Safety Collision Warning with Full Auto-Brake.
Good - Mitsubishi Outlander - Forward Collision Mitigation.
A driving speeds Systems include a warning to the driver and Euro NCAP evaluates performanceboth system where the driver brakes and where there is no reaction to the warning systems are tested for their ability to prevent and mitigate accidents up at 80km h.
Good - Volvo V40 - City Safety Collision Warning with Full Auto-Brake.
Adequate - Mitsubishi Outlander - Forward Collision Mitigation.
Marginal - Honda Civic - mitigation brake system crashes.
Also in October, Euro NCAP has released four new crash test results Suzuki SX4 2008 Peugeot Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and Jeep Cherokee all received an overall score of five stars.
In early September Euro NCAP has released the results for the five cars and superminis Vauxhall Adam Mitsubishi Space Star Mirage both scored four stars The family and the Toyota Corolla family Lexus 300h and Mazda 6 has achieved a five star overall.
At the end of the month, Euro NCAP has released the results for Qoros 3 and the new Kia Carens The minivan Kia Carens obtained five stars maximum as Qoros 3 a first in the Euro NCAP for a car developed in China the small family car has shown good overall protection with high scores in all four areas.
Evaluation and is a major step up from previous Chinese exports tested by Euro NCAP.
Euro NCAP has released the results for 2 new cars, the Citroën C4 Picasso, which are both Honda CR-V has received an overall score of 5 stars.
Euro NCAP also announced rewards for advanced braking autonomous emergency mitigation systems collisions before Mitsubishi, available on the Mitsubishi Outlander tested in 2012 and the FIAT City Brake Control available as an option on the Fiat Panda and Fiat 500L.
Euro NCAP has released the results for four new cars at the Geneva Motor Show Zoe Renault Skoda Octavia and Toyota Auris RAV4 all achieved a five star rating overall.
Euro NCAP also awarded Skoda for a number of active safety systems on the Skoda Octavia before assistant Lane, multi collision brake and assistant Protect crew.
Euro NCAP publishd results for a group of business vans and family using protocols that are more true to life than the current legal criteria for these vehicles van Following these tests, called EuroNCAP manufacturers to offer these vehicles with higher levels of safety equipment and for legislators to review their legal safety requirements lenient.
In tests, the Ford Transit measure was the only vehicle to score five stars The Hyundai H1 scored three stars Fiat Scudo also scored three stars while the Renault Trafic scored two stars The Fiat Scudo is available as Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy.
Also in December the Toyota Aygo and its twin, the Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107 reaches 3 stars in the latest Euro NCAP tests The three cars were recently facelifted previous models which have received four-star ratings for adult occupant protection in 2005.
The current model Aygo and its twin lack basic items such as side airbags and control electronic stability as standard equipment, but in response to the tests Euro NCAP, Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroen have committed to fit standard, the following elements in the Aygo, C1 and 107 by Julio 2013 side thorax airbag, the side airbag of the curtain head, the electronic control of the restoring stability occupant seat belt, ISOFIX and an upper anchoring on the side rear seats.
All cars have received five stars out of the Dacia Lodgy classified as a vehicle to three stars.
At a time when many manufacturers mark of almost all points in one or more areas of the evaluation, the Dacia Lodgy performed below average in all areas of security Dacia has decided not to take control of the electronic stability as standard equipment, exploiting the last possible opportunity before the technology became mandatory.
At the other end of the cost scale, Range Rover and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid both have performed well The V60 Plug-In Hybrid scored very similarly to its conventional counterpart engine, evaluated the year last, in spite of the hybrid powertrain adding nearly 350 kg.
However, the Range Rover has shed a few kilograms, weighing more than 200 kg lighter than the car previously tested by Euro NCAP Euro NCAP understands that, despite generally good results and a five-star rating, the Range Rover will soon be equipped an improved restraint of the head to make a whiplash protection in line with expectations for a car of this quality.
The new Golf scored similarly to its predecessor in most areas, but sets a new benchmark by including several driving assistance technologies Golf is available with a multi collision brake system, pre- and Protection occupants proactive, recently rewarded by Euro NCAP advanced, and Lane Assist However, despite its impressive range of advanced systems, the car lacks a backspace standard seat belt adjustment, a feature that is common in many cars today.
Other cars equipped with advanced technology for the driver are the entry-car Mercedes-Benz Class and the Ford Fiesta.
Class gets preventing collisions and helps to support the attention as standard equipment, with PRE SAFE optional.
The Fiesta is offered with MyKey, a programmable key system that allows some car safety critical characteristics to be tailored to the specific drivers for the Fiesta that can allow parents to help their children drive responsibly, with limits the maximum speed and more insistent reminders seatbelts.
Programmable keys open up a whole new range of possibilities, not only for parents and their children Technology will also interest businesses with driving safety policies.
With a four-star worthy, safety on board the new Isuzu D-Max is significantly improved compared to the model tested in 2008 who acheived two star crossed for adult occupant protection and one star for pedestrian protection.
With its rear sliding doors and innovative design, the Ford B-MAX has achieved five Ford star has removed the middle columns B pillars of the B-MAX that usually separate the passenger compartment front and rear, but a structure is incorporated into the doors to form a central post when the doors are closed Euro NCAP found that safety was not compromised as the B-MAX scored 92 for adult occupant protection mini MPV also comes with active City safety, an AEB system previously rewarded by Euro NCAP Advanced, which helps the driver achieve maximum braking effectiveness in an emergency.
The new Volvo V40 has achieved a five star Euro NCAP's all-time leading scorer in its segment What particularly distinguishes the V40 other vehicles is the first airbag technology world for pedestrians, standard across the range V40 If crash with a pedestrian, the sensors detect the impact, release the cover and deployment of the airbag in a second airbag for pedestrian safety lifts the cover and partially overlaps the stiff pillars is providing a better protection of pedestrians in tests Euro NCAP, this results in 88 points in pedestrian protection, the highest score yet achieved in this part of the evaluation.
The latest models of Renault Clio of Kia Cee'd and Audi A3 all received five stars, and compared to their predecessors all offer significantly improved pedestrian protection.
5-star Euro NCAP requirements are more difficult in 2012, especially in the area of pedestrian protection where the minimum score required was significantly increased.
The BMW 3 Series has achieved a commendable 78 for pedestrian protection, a good result for a compact car steering without active bonnet.
The Peugeot 208 scored 61 for pedestrian protection, just not passing the threshold of 5 stars 2012 60.
Mazda CX-5 scored maximum points in both trials side impact - the lateral barrier and the test for the net.
Both the Mazda CX-5 and BMW 3 Series offer the autonomous emergency braking system AEBS These systems act independently of the driver to stop the car, or reduce speed if a collision is imminent.
The CX-5 is a good example for other manufacturers to follow as it has AEB fitted largely as standard throughout Europe if all cars were fitted with AEB systems, many crashes could be mitigated or avoided altogether on European roads.
Audi received the Euro NCAP Advanced Award for its leading edge Sense, more technology.
The Audi pre sense front plus technology is available on the Audi A6 which achieved 5 stars in 2011 with two long-range radar positioned at the front of the car, the system can detect vehicles before the car is likely hit unless action is taken by the driver.
In November Euro NCAP has released the results for fourteen new cars.
The VW up to five stars of the SEAT applies to an identical structure Mii and Skoda Citigo.
Four stars for the view MG6 and Geely Emgrand EC7 emphasize manufacturers want to improve the safety level of Chinese brands in Europe.
The four stars for Renault Fluence ZE electric puts everything on a par with the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, but behind other EVs such as the Nissan LEAF and Opel Ampera tested earlier in the year.
Ford is rewarded for its Driver Alert and Forward Alert systems on the Focus, making the car the first that offers four rewarded technologies.
Mercedes-Benz is rewarded for attention and help to prevent collisions assistance, Vauxhall Adaptive Forward Lighting and Volkswagen for City Emergency Braking.
Subaru XV is the first model rewarded by Euro NCAP with an activation of the fully automatic passenger airbag system, the front passenger airbag is only activated when the occupant of an appropriate size is detected in the seat, which effectively reduces the risk to young children sitting in this position.
The Ford Ranger is the first pickup to achieve a five-star The third generation model marks a clear improvement in note 2 star adult occupant of the previous Ranger in 2008.
With a soft, well-designed front end, absorb impact energy and better protect pedestrians pedestrian score of 81 Ranger is the best score recorded for pick-ups tested by Euro NCAP to date and sets a new standard.
Other vehicles that have performed well for pedestrian protection the BMW 1 Series, Mercedes M-Class and of the Toyota Yaris, scoring more than 60 points available.
From 2012 60 points for pedestrian protection is the minimum required for an overall rating of five stars from 2012.
The BMW 1 Series is equipped with help Advanced eCall, an automatic emergency call system rewarded by Euro NCAP Advanced.
The Fiat Freemont the Mercedes M-Class and the Lancia Voyager is equipped with hoods assets to improve pedestrian protection sensors detect when a pedestrian was struck and actuators lift the bonnet to provide greater clearance to hard structures underneath.
The Kia Picanto was given an overall rating of 4 stars.
The Vauxhall Ampera acheived maximum points in the side pole test as a result of a well optimized balance of the structure, the inner system and restraint.
The Chevrolet Aveo and Orlando have achieved good whiplash and adult occupant protection scores - the previous Aveo made headlines with a poor outcome struck two adults stars occupants.
Pedestrian protection scores are generally still lagging behind The Opel Ampera, Audi A6 and Citroen DS5 only No answer 2011 pedestrian requirements for a Euro NCAP 5-star, but no cars in this release would meet the more stringent requirements for a 5 star prices effective from January 2012.
Some automakers have already stepped up, showing much higher scores for pedestrians as the Ford Focus recently tested.
major advanced security systems are offered on more models too Citro ns DS5 is equipped Citro n Localized Emergency Call, a PSA Peugeot-Citroen n technology recognized in 2010 under Euro NCAP Advanced's new SUV BMW X3 midsize comes with eCall, a system that can automatically alert emergency services in case of accident.
In addition to these general assessments of safety Euro NCAP advanced price test in 2009 Mazda Rear Vehicle Monitoring system on the Mazda 3 This technology detects and warns the driver of an approaching vehicle and helps to keep a change common channel related crashes involving at least two or more vehicles.
The all-electric Nissan LEAF became the first of its kind to mark a five-star rating in the latest round of crash performance test published by Euro NCAP, which proves that electric cars can be as safe as gasoline diesel cars .
The latest generation Ford Focus also marked a five-star rating and recognition of two of its active safety and support systems in the active conduct City Stop and Lane Keeping Aid.
Volvo the V60 also set five stars bag and marked 100 in the safety assist category through an electronic control standard adjustment ESC stability, safety belt retractor and a speed limiting device set by the driver The car also City Safety Volvo equipped which was recently rewarded under Euro NCAP Advanced.
508 new Citroen DS4 s and the Lexus CT200h Peugeot also achieved a five star rating.
The 508 is especially well in whiplash test from behind while both 508 and DS4 had relatively poor performance in terms of pedestrian protection near the lower limit currently set by Euro NCAP for a five star rating.
Euro NCAP will make it more difficult to score a rating of five stars overall in 2012, raising the bar in terms of protection needed pedestrians.
Euro NCAP has released the results of seven new vehicles, including its first test a fully electric car.
The four star rating for the Mitsubishi i-MiEV shows that security need not be compromised in zero-emission vehicles The i-MiEV shares its rating with its twin models, the Citroen C-Zero and Peugeot iOn that have the same design and safety equipment.
Plug-in electric vehicles are tested with live batteries and the cars are exposed to the same test conditions as the other cars in the program, special attention is paid to the integrity of the battery after the accident and the good operation of the battery disconnect switch that isolates the high-voltage battery in case of accident.
Additional security measures are taken before, during and after the crash tests that can be performed at laboratories with specially trained staff additional measures against the fire are taken to ensure the safety of laboratory personnel and equipment, but no electric shock or fire was detected during the test the i-MiEV.
Other assessments published this month were for the Dacia Duster which, with an overall rating of three stars, failed to impress Euro NCAP In contrast, the Mitsubishi ASX and the Nissan Juke achieved five stars.
Five stars were also awarded to Hyundai ix20 double the KIA Venga tested in 2010. Both cars have identical safety equipments and interior fittings and are expected to perform identically.
The Lane Departure Prevention LDP system, available on the Infinity FX tested in 2009 received a Euro NCAP Advanced reward PLD is a technology based camera that helps to find the pilot vehicle in its lane when an unintentional lane change probably.
Euro NCAP has released the results of crash tests for fourteen cars, including the first Chinese manufactured vehicle it has tested ten cars reached a maximum of five stars, three received four stars and one received a two star result.
Compared with competitors vehicles in this segment, the Chinese Landwind CV9 remains poorly equipped, lack an airbag lateral protection, a protection device of the head and control electronic stability.
The car was limited to a two-star rating for its overall performance although it came close to meeting the three star threshold for adult occupant protection.
It is clear that China's car, India and other emerging countries will become commonplace on European roads, highlighting the safety performance differences Euro NCAP helps to drive the safety of all cars towards and au beyond the high levels we see from more established manufacturers.
The Kia Venga has been reassessed shortly after its market introduction and has been awarded five stars.
Nissan Micra received four stars which, surprisingly, was the Jaguar XF its limited evaluation by the protection of adults and children involved.
The Volkswagen Amarok received four stars and is the pickup offering best pedestrian protection.
This year Paris Motorshow launched Euro NCAP Advanced, the latest initiative of the new car crash test group because they meet the rapid development of new automobile safety technologies for which there is no independent assessment.
Advanced is open to any technical system that has a proven safety benefit, if it helps prevent accidents, reduce injuries to accelerate the response of authorities to incidents systems must be available as an option on one of the cars Euro NCAP tested and not already addressed by the current star rating.
Standard Euro NCAP safety rating for new car models consists of independent verification of a car by Euro NCAP based on published crash tests and protocols.
Contrary to the assessment of the normal safety Euro NCAP based full vehicle crash tests, further evaluation is entirely based on a review of data provided by the car manufacturer The data is analyzed by a team of experts appointed by Euro NCAP.
Manufacturers must also identify the impact of the security of their technology can be in European countries, taking into account the different infrastructures, skills and behavior of drivers.
Most of the first group of systems rewarded at the Paris Motor Show were developed some years ago and have been on the market for at least a year or two.
In the future, Euro NCAP Advanced will be able to use the methodology to fully evaluate new technologies, addressing the areas of security that have not been addressed.
The first security systems rewarded by Euro NCAP Advanced is.
BMW Assist Advanced eCall automatic emergency call eCall.
Collision Braking System Honda CMBS Pre-Crash Brake autonomous emergency.
Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® and PRE-SAFE Brake Pre-Crash Brake autonomous emergency system.
Peugeot Connect automatic emergency call eCall SOS.
