- a frontal impact test, 50% of the width of the car is striking an oncoming deformable barrier, also travelling at 50 km/h
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid full width barrier
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole and the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated.
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 as well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies.
Test conditions: Front: Tested vehicle crashed head on with a fixed barrier at 35 mph. This is equivalent to a head-on collision between two vehicles of equal weight and height, each moving at 35 mph. Side: a 3,015 lb moving barrier with a crumple zone (replicating a moving sedan or other short-height vehicle) moving at 38.5 mph is crashed into the tested vehicle’s side. Side-pole: Tested vehicle traveling sideways at 20 mph collides with a 25cm wide rigid pole at a 75-degree angle at the point of the driver’s seat, replicating a crash with a tree or utility pole.
