You can be super safe with the great crash test cars. In the investigation of the organization Euro-NCAP they are the best and are of the crash test professionals. There are cars that are safe for families and have zero percent death rates in accident. "Today the security of cars includes not only a good crash behavior also actively prevent accidents," said Euro NCAP Secretary General Michiel van Ratingen.
VW Golf Is One of the Best Safest Family Car
The VW Golf has not won once. In the important Euro-NCAP crash tests the bestseller of course got five stars. Although the Volvo cuts in security value for children in the back seat with 75 percent worse than the VW (89%), but in the other three scores it has the edge: protection for driver and passenger - 98% (Golf: 96) Pedestrian Protection - 88% (Golf: 65), assistance systems: 100% (Golf: 71).
The partial grade for the electronic helpers is somewhat controversial because about the availability of an overspeed governor says nothing about the passive safety of the car, which is determined in a crash test actually.
Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf was the first vehicle of its kind, which received five stars and is placed as the best compact family cars. This year EuroNCAP is raising the bar once again higher. So a passenger car has now reached 60 percent of the values for pedestrian protection. Previously they were 40 percent. In addition, the organization includes new systems for accident avoidance begins. EuroNCAP calls on manufacturers to continue along this path and thereby lifts off on Ford. The Ford Focus was the first compact car with City-stop, collision warning and lane keeping system, albeit at an additional cost.
Volvo V40 – A Classy Family Car
In the compact class, the Volvo V40 sat with the highest ever tested in this class score at the top. In the middle class of the BMW 3 Series won. Especially in the pedestrian protection extends Volvo V40 no water so fast. With a pedestrian airbag in an accident the hood is slightly raised and the A-pillars are masked by the airbag partially. So the impact of the pedestrian can be mitigated at the vehicle front.
For the first time Family Vans had been tested in 2012. In this category the Ford Transit Custom cut off as the best vehicle. The minivan is Ford B-Max and Fiat 500L share the podium. Among the off-road vehicles Ford Kuga and Hyundai Santa Fe proved Crash Test best. All vehicles mentioned achieved the number "five-star" in the Euro NCAP test.
Chevrolet Aveo
The safest car is the Chevrolet Aveo also. It reached the driver protection 95 percent and cut the child protection (87 percent), pedestrian protection (54 percent) also performs well. In Chapter assistance systems, it received 93 percent. Accordingly, the safest car from a drivers perspective, the Mercedes B-Class is the most assistance systems offering the Volvo V60 and children feel especially comfortable in Aveo. The safest way from the perspective of the pedestrian is the Ford Focus.
