Citroen C3 Aircross demonstrated decent results in frontal and side impacts, but failed to protect rear-seat passengers from whiplash injuries. Experts also lowered the rating because the standard equipment does not include most electronic assistants.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross also performed confidently in almost all tests. The model received a particularly high score for the partial overlap crash test, but in the full overlap test, experts noted excessive load on the passenger's chest.
Opel Crossland X showed results very close to those of the Citroen. The car withstood frontal and side impacts well, but the insufficient level of protection for rear passengers, especially from whiplash injuries, let it down.
Seat Arona earned high scores for adult safety, but the Spanish model was undermined by somewhat weak child protection — especially in the case of a side collision.
The results of the Skoda Karoq largely repeat those of the Arona. Adult passengers in the Czech crossover are protected quite well, but there are certain problems with child safety.
The new Volkswagen Polo showed excellent results in almost all tests. The only hatchback in this test series made just a minor slip-up in the test for protecting a ten-year-old passenger.
The Volkswagen T-Roc performed even more successfully than its compact sibling, not making a single significant mistake in any of the disciplines, including child safety.
The Volvo XC60 became the real hero of the session, scoring almost the maximum 98% for adult protection and 95% for the operation of electronic assistants. Even a minor remark about the protection of the rear passenger in a full overlap frontal impact did not affect the final high ratings.
