2020 Peugeot 2008 and 2020 Volkswagen Sharan - Crash Safety Tests Results
The passenger compartment of the 2020 Peugeot 2008 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.
Peugeot showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.
In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was rated as marginal for the neck of the driver and for the chest of both occupants.
In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in test.
In the more severe side pole test, chest protection was rated as adequate and that of other body areas as good.
Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.
A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.
The 2020 Peugeot 2008 has an autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system as standard equipment.
In tests of its functionality at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries occur, the system performed well.
2020 Volkswagen Sharan - Crash Safety Tests Results
The passenger compartment of the 2020 Volkswagen Sharan remained stable in the frontal offset test.
Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.
Volkswagen showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.
In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good for the driver.
However, for the rear passenger, dummy readings indicated a marginal level of protection for the chest.
A penalty was also applied as a result of high shoulder belt forces and protection of the chest was rated as poor.
In the side barrier impact, all critical body areas were well protected and the 2020 Volkswagen Sharan scored maximum points in this test.
In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body areas was good.
However, the side door of the Sharan became detached during the test and the score was penalised for the risk of occupant ejection.
Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.
A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection.
The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed adequately in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur.
