Review the 2018 Ford Tourneo Connect crash safety ratings to see how well passengers are protected in front, rear and side impact collisions.
2022 Ford Puma - Crash & Safety Tests
2022 Ford Ranger - Crash & Safety Tests
The increasingly long list of awards for the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E has been expanded by Euro NCAP to include the best possible 5-star double rating for its occupant protection and environmental compatibility. The independent crash test organization Euro NCAP has been assessing the safety of vehicles since 1997. Under the Green NCAP seal, the organization now also awards up to five stars for low emissions and high energy efficiency. In the strict crash tests, the new Ford Mustang Mach-E achieved an excellent result of 92 percent for the protection of adults and 86 percent for the protection of children.The standard driver assistance systems, among other things, contributed to the excellent safety rating. These include, for example, the Ford Co-Pilot360 with Ford Intelligent Drive Assist (partially automated driver assistance), intelligent speed limiter with speed limit display, pre-collision assist, evasion assistant, blind spot assistant with cross traffic alertThe fully electric vehicle received full points for its environmental compatibility for its electric drive train, which, according to the WLTP test cycle, enables a combined range of up to 610 emission-free kilometers. A 94 percent rating for its energy efficiency was given by Green NCAP in the course of laboratory tests.
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
