2019 SEAT Tarraco - Crash Tests and results *****
New SEAT Tarraco shares Volkswagen's MQB platform with Škoda Kodiaq, which is rated five stars by Euro NCAP in 2017. Against the more rigorous protocols of 2019, Tarraco's five-star rating is more impressive, and in adults it is 97 percent. Passenger protection is one of the best cars in this category.
Euro NCAP organizes crash tests on new vehicles and provides automobile consumers with a realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of some of the most popular cars sold in Europe.
Euro NCAP performs a series of crash tests on each model tested:
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid barrier
- an offset frontal impact test, 40% of the width of the car is striking a deformable barrier
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door.
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking systems (car to car, with a pedestrian and a cyclist target), lane support and speed assist technologies and seatbelt reminders.
