2020 BMW 1 Series and 2020 BMW 3 Series Crash Tests

euroncap crash tests

BMW's 1 Series, presently in its third era and, just because, a front-wheel drive vehicle, keeps up a five-star rating and proceeds with BMW's ongoing string of security victories. Its score in grown-up inhabitant insurance would have been higher were it not for its front seat barely missing a 'decent' appraising for Whiplash security



The traveler compartment of the BMW 1-series stayed stable in the frontal counterbalance test. Sham readings demonstrated great assurance of the

knees and femurs of both the driver and traveler. BMW demonstrated that a comparative degree of assurance would be given to tenants of

various sizes and to those sitting in various positions. In the full-width unbending hindrance test, insurance of the driver was great or satisfactory.

Security of the back traveler was great separated from the chest, for which sham readings of pressure demonstrated feeble insurance. The

vehicle scored most extreme focuses in both side effect tests, with great insurance of all basic body zones in both the hindrance sway and the more

serious post test. A geometric evaluation of the back seats and head limitations demonstrated great insurance against whiplash wounds in the

occasion of a backside impact. Tests on the front seats exhibited just minor whiplash insurance. The self-ruling crisis

stopping mechanism performed well in all trial of its usefulness at the low speeds regular of city driving. Notwithstanding, the focuses for AEB City were

not granted as great front head limitation execution is a pre-essential for the extra reward for dynamic security.

The traveler compartment of the BMW 3-series stayed stable in the frontal balance test. Sham readings demonstrated great insurance of the

knees and femurs of both the driver and traveler. BMW demonstrated that a comparable degree of assurance would be given to tenants of

various sizes and to those sitting in various positions. In the full-width unbending boundary test, assurance of the driver and back traveler was

great or sufficient for all basic body regions. The vehicle scored most extreme focuses in both side effect tests, with great assurance of all basic

body regions in both the boundary sway and the more extreme post test. Tests on the front seats and head limitations exhibited great

security against whiplash wounds in case of a backside crash. A geometric appraisal of the back seats additionally demonstrated great

whiplash security. The standard-fit self-ruling crisis braking (AEB) framework scored most extreme focuses in trial of its usefulness at

low, city-driving velocities, with impacts evaded in all test situations.

2019 SEAT Tarraco - Crash Tests and results *****

Crash Tests

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.

2019 Honda CR-V - Crash Tests - and results *****

 Crash Tests

The previous generation Honda CR-V was tested in 2013 as a diesel. As a sign of time, this latest version was tested in gasoline hybrid form, which is estimated to be the best-selling variable. The car performs well in all safety areas and has the highest safety rating.

2016 Tesla Model S Luxury Car Crash Test Videos

Overall evaluation: Good Recent crash tests reveal potential safety issues with Tesla Model S



The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety decided to put four all-electric and hybrid electric vehicles to the test for safety.

Crash Test Videos

Compared with the 2017 Prius Prime and the 2017 Chevy Volt, the BMW i3 and the Tesla Model S weren't just safe enough to merit a "Top Pick +" by the IIHS.

"The IIHS is looking at a small overlap frontal crash, a moderate overlap frontal crash, side impact, roof strength, the head restraints, headlights and advanced front crash prevention," R&T Máté Petrány wrote.

The organization also assessed the vehicles' front-crash avoidance abilities; and their headlights.

The IIHS tested Model S vehicles built after October 2016 and according to its test results, the Model S fell short of the highest safety rating in a few key areas.

Crash Test Videos

First, the driver's side seat belt didn't adequately restrain the occupant in a front overlap crash, causing the dummy's head to hit the steering wheel.

Secondly, the roof of the Model S P100D that was tested wasn't strong enough to ensure safety in a rollover, due to the car's weight. The Model S earned an "acceptable" rating in these two categories.

Lastly, the organization gave the 2017 Model S a poor rating for its headlights.

In a statement to Business Insider, a Tesla spokesperson said that the company is already working to fix the issues and that it's "committed to making the world's safest cars."


"We proactively develop updates and aggressively implement changes onto the production line in record time any time there is a substantial benefit to customer safety.

One of the improvements recently introduced in January 2017 specifically addresses the “Acceptable” (or second-highest) rating that the Model S achieved in the small overlap frontal crash test, and we expect new tests to yield the highest possible rating (“Good” rating) in the crashworthiness category," the spokesperson said.

It's worth noting that Tesla's Model S has received a 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as the highest safety rating from the European New Car Assesment Program.

The BMW i3 also had a problem in the small frontal overlap crash scenario: the vehicles couldn't fully protect passengers in the rear seats.

The Chevy Volt and the Prius Prime plug-in both scored higher on the IIHS's tests.
