2020 Subaru Forester and 2020 Škoda Octavia - Crash Safety Tests Results
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.
2020 Škoda Octavia - Crash Safety Tests Results
The passenger compartment of the 2020 Škoda Octavia remained stable in the frontal offset test.
Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.
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
