The new compact Ford Fiesta hatchback almost achieved the maximum result in crash tests, scoring 87%. The only remark was the too high load on the chest of the dummies placed in the second row, but this did not prevent the model from receiving a well-deserved five stars.
The Jeep Compass crossover, although it showed an overall protection level of 90%, disappointed with the results of the side impact. The highest rating was ensured by successful performance in other tests, including the effective operation of electronic assistance systems.
The updated Mazda CX-5 crossover turned out to be one of the leaders in this series of tests with a result of 95%. The only thing the manufacturer should improve is the protection of children in the rear row, where the ratings were lower.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class convertible received the maximum five stars and 89%, but the results of its tests caused a mixed reaction. The model showed weak protection in a side impact, as well as insufficient safety for children. The car reached the controversial "five" thanks to a successful frontal collision and a large number of electronic assistants.
The Opel Grandland X crossover also barely earned five stars, scoring 84%. The main drawback was the high load on the driver's chest during a frontal impact.
The new generation of the Renault Koleos crossover received the usual high ratings for this brand - 90%. Among the comments are insufficient protection of the driver's right leg and low scores for child safety.
The Opel Ampera-e electric car failed to get the maximum rating, although almost all of its tests went quite successfully (82%). The main problem was weak protection against whiplash injuries both in the front and rear seats.
The new Kia Picanto also did not reach the highest rating, and in the basic configuration it managed to get only three stars. However, the compact car passed the side impact with excellent safety indicators.
The new generation Kia Rio in the initial version also had to settle for three stars, but in maximum equipment it was able to win a five-star rating. The main drawback of the hatchback was child safety, as well as some shortcomings in the functioning of the driver's airbag.
