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. Tested Model: Ford Focus 1.0 'Trend', LHD Body Type: - 5 door hatchback Year Of Publication: 2018-2019 Kerb Weight: 1312kg VIN From Which Rating Applies: - all Focus Class: Small Family Car ADULT OCCUPANT - Comments The passenger compartment of the Focus remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both driver and passenger dummy. Ford 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 driver and rear passenger occupants was rated as adequate, with good protection of all other critical body areas. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Focus scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, protection was good for everything except the chest, which was adequately protected. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated marginal protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection. The autonomous emergency braking system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving. However, the points for AEB City were not awarded as good front head restraint performance is a pre-requisite for the the additional reward for active safety. CHILD OCCUPANT - Comments Good protection was provided to both the 6 and the 10 year dummies in the frontal offset and side barrier tests, the Focus scoring maximum points for this part of the assessment. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the car is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.
The passenger compartment of the Focus remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of both driver and passenger dummy. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants ofdifferent sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the chest of the driver and rearpassenger occupants was rated as adequate, with good protection of all other critical body areas. In the side barrier test, protection of allcritical body areas was good and the Focus scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, protection was good foreverything except the chest, which was adequately protected. Ford has improved the design of the front seats and head restraints of theFocus since it was tested in 2018. Tests now demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. Ageometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection. The autonomous emergency braking system performed well intests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving.
The passenger compartment of the Puma remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of differentsizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection of the driver's chest was rated as marginal. In the full-width rigid barrier test,protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate for both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier and the moresevere 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 frontseats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometricassessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systemperformed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided or mitigated in alltest scenarios
Each year, Euro NCAP publishes a list of those cars that have performed best in their respective categories. Star ratings cannot be compared directly between different categories of vehicles, so a ‘Best in Class’ is published showing which vehicles have performed better than their competitors. As the requirements for each star rating become tougher each year, the ‘Best in Class’ comparison is made only within each calendar year so that all vehicles are assessed against the same standards.To define the Best in Class, a calculation is made of the weighted sum of the scores in each of the four areas of assessment: Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Pedestrian and Safety Assist. This sum is used as the basis for comparison of the vehicles. Cars qualify for ‘Best in Class’ based only on their rating with standard safety equipment. Additional ratings based on optional equipment are excluded.On this page you will find top performer in each category, as measured by the weighted sum of scores. Some categories may not be represented as Euro NCAP has tested too few cars of that class in that year.This year, Euro NCAP is also giving an award for the best safety performance of the electric and hybrid cars it has tested. Although these cars may be in different size categories, it is hoped that the award will guide consumers who are looking for maximum safety from their electric or hybrid vehicle.

The passenger compartment of the 508 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the kneesand 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 of the chest was marginal for the driver and adequate for the rear passenger, and protection of all other critical body areas was good. In both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test, maximum points were scored, with good protection of all critical body areas. 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 system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused.
