In the frontal offset test, the passenger compartment of the B-Class remained stable. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Mercedes-Benz 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 front passenger was good for all critical body areas. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good or adequate for all critical body areas. For the rear passenger, dummy readings of chest compression indicated marginal protection for that body area but protection was otherwise good or adequate. In the side barrier impact, protection was good for all body areas and the car scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other critical body areas 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.
Euro NCAP publishes its Best in Class for 2019. Fifty-five cars were assessed among which forty-one achieved the top accolade. This makes 2019 one of the most impressive years on record since Euro NCAP started to evaluate consumer safety of cars on the European market. Mercedes-Benz regained its crown in the best performing Small Family Car category. The CLA is the sporty alternative to the A-Class Sedan, the winner of last year’s Best in Class. It achieved a score of more than 90 percent in three of the four areas of safety and delivered the best overall rating of the year. Remarkably, Mercedes-Benz launched five more five-star vehicles in 2019, all with outstanding crash protection and driver assistance technology.
In the van-based MPV segment, Mercedes-Benz brings the Citan Tourer and its posher version, the T-Class. Both share the platform of the Renault Kangoo but are, across the board, better-equipped with a new centre airbag for additional far-side impact protection and high performing active safety features.
2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class - Crash & Safety Tests
The passenger compartment of the GLB remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the kneesand femurs of both the driver and passenger. Mercedes-Benz 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 all critical body regions was good oradequate with the exception of the neck of the driver, for which dummy readings of tensile forces indicated a marginal level of protection. Inthe side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the GLB scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole test,dummy readings of rib compression indicated marginal protection for the chest, with other critical parts of the body being well protected.Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. Ageometric 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, typical of city driving at which many whiplash injuries occur.
