The Toyota Yaris Cross follows hot on the heels of the Mirai and Yaris with another five-star rating. The car, available at petrol and HEV petrol, was tested partly in Australia and Europe, two important markets for the Yaris Cross. The result is published in collaboration with sister organisation ANCAP.
Toyota’s fourth-generation Yaris emerges with flying colours from Euro NCAP’s 2020 test programme. The car is the first to be subjected to an all-new frontal offset test, which replaces the one previously used since the programme started in 1997, and is the first to feature a counter-measure for injuries in far-side impacts. The mobile progressive deformable barrier (MPDB) test assesses the protection a car offers its occupants as well as the risks it poses to the car it has crashed into. The Yaris, in general, does well, its small size and benign front end making it one of the less aggressive crash partners on the road.
Groupe Renault and Ferrovial are about to launch a ZITY free-floating car-sharing service in Paris.In March 2020, a fleet of 500 100% electric Renault ZOE cars equipped with ZITY technology will be made available to Parisians on a self-service basis. This is a particularly flexible and adapted offer that responds to a strong trend: 20% of the capital's inhabitants use car-sharing[1].This launch in Paris is a new step in the partnership between Groupe Renault, a pioneer of electric vehicles in Europe and Ferrovial, one of the world's leading infrastructure operators and urban service providers, which began successfully in 2017 with ZITY, an electric vehicle car-sharing service in Madrid.

The passenger compartment of the RAV4 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Toyota 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 critical body areas was good or adequate for both the driver and rear passenger. In the side barrier test, dummy readings indicated good protection of all critical body areas. The same was true of the more severe side pole test, but the curtain airbag caught on part of the interior trim and was judged not to have deployed correctly. As a result, protection of the head was down-graded from good to adequate in both the side impact tests. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system scored full points in tests of its functionality at low speeds, typical of city driving, with collisions avoided in all scenarios.
