Cancellation of huge mirrors accommodates better all-round perceivability

As the MirrorCam cameras are connected to the rooftop outline and the screens are situated inside the taxi, the driver has a vastly improved direct view through the side windows.

The view askew ahead, which was recently deterred by the enormous outside reflections of a customary mirror framework as a rule, is presently clear.

This is especially worthwhile when moving toward intersections and roundabouts, while moving and in tight twists.

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.

The passenger compartment of the 2020 Subaru Forester remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.

Subaru 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 or adequate for both occupants, with the exception of the chest of the rear passenger, for which readings of compression indicated marginal protection.

In both the side barrier and the more severe side pole tests, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in both of these tests.

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 standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in all test scenarios.

Škoda 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 the chest of the rear passenger was marginal but, otherwise, protection was good or adequate for both the driver and rear passenger.

In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in this test.

In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was rated as marginal, based on dummy readings of rib compression, with good protection of other parts of the body.

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 standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur

The passenger compartment of the 2020 Audi Q7 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees
and femurs of both the driver and passenger.

Audi showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection of the chest was marginal for both driver and passenger.

In the full-width rigid barrier test, chest protection was again marginal for the rear passenger but other critical body areas were well or adequately protected, for both occupants.

In both the side barrier test and the pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Audi Q7 scored maximum points in these tests.

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 front seats also indicated good whiplash protection.

The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality against other vehicles at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in almost all test scenarios.

2020 Renault Captur Crash Safety Tests Results

The passenger compartment of the Renault Captur remained stable in the frontal offset test.

Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.

Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.

Protection was rated as good for all critical body areas for the passenger.

In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body areas, both for the driver and the rear passenger.

In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in this test.

Even in the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was 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 standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in most test scenarios.

2020 Tesla Model X and 2020 Porsche Taycan - Crash Safety Tests Results

videos 12/04/2019 10:50:00 AM

The stand-out performer of this round is undoubtedly Tesla’s Model X, scoring 94 percent for Safety Assist, the same as the Model 3 scored early this year.

The passenger compartment of the Model X remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the
knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.

Tesla showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection was rated as good for all critical body areas for the driver.

This was also the casein the the full-width rigid barrier test, and protection was good or adequate for the rear passenger. In both the side barrier and the more severe side pole tests, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in both of these tests.

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.

2020 Porsche Taycan Crash Safety Tests Results

The passenger compartment of the Taycan remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the
knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.

Porsche 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 or adequate for both occupants, with the exception of the rear passenger's chest, for which dummy readings of compression indicated a marginal level of protection.
