Comments:

The new A-Class performed well on crash tests, earning five stars for adult occupant protection and driver. passenger compartment safety cage protected the riders, only about one point was lost in the frontal and side impacts. Passive safety systems include duplex airbags, front belt pre-tensioners and load-limiters adaptive, side cushions in the back seat. Action signaling seat belt installed on all mestaz. Child protection was good, pedestrians - and good enough - 17 points out of a possible 36.

Frontal impact:

The body has undergone minimal deformation and the driver's door could be opened with almost no effort. Compression footwell was also minimal, and the displacement of the pedal assembly - well-controlled. Duplex airbags, pretensioners and belt load-limiters restrict the free movement of passengers bodies. Designers put a lot of effort to ensure the safety of the knees and femurs of the front riders. As a result - the sensor readings, talking about loads were low.

Child safety-passenger:

The inscriptions in two languages \u200b\u200bwarned about the inadmissibility of the installation of a children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the active airbag. They were placed on both sides of the passenger sunscreen visor, but they could easily break away. A 3-year-old mannequin was located at the Britax Romer Duo Plus recommended by the manufacturer, fixed by the "face forward" using ISOFIX locks and upper mounts. The younger was put in Britax Romer Babysafe Plus, installed "against the direction of movement" using seat belts. Protection of both was at a high level.

Side strike:

The protection system included side airbags for breasts and heads, which, coupled with a solid body, retained the sensor at a low level. Higher points were awarded for side shocks about overlapping and pole.

Pedestrian safety:

The overall protection turned out to be quite normal. The bumper satisfied the requirements of EURO NCAP, although the surface of the hood provided only a slight mitigation of the strike in the zones where the head of a pedestrian (adult or child) falls. The front edge of the hood also has provided some protection.
