Comments:
An additional score was the alarm about the non-settled seat belts (SNRB), which made C-Class the second car in the history of tests that received five stars. In the 2001 test, there were four stars, however, the EURO NCAP assessment system was amended by the stimulating automakers to install SNRB. In general, C-Class has established itself as a strong car that protects its passengers. After a frontal blow, the driver's door opened normally. The security curtain did not open completely during the lateral blow, which, under other circumstances, could lead to injury.
Frontal blow:
From a collision with the steering wheel, the driver’s head and chest were protected by a pillow and belt. However, a large pressure had a lot of pressure on the chest. It should be noted that in the design of the front panel of Mercedes there are no elements that could injure the driver's knees. The legs for the legs suffered a good blow. The pedal node shifted a short distance, insufficient to create threats to the feet and ankles. The central place of the back row of seats is equipped with a three -point seat belt that provides better protection compared to waist.
Safety of passenger children:
The airbag for the front passenger is included in the basic package and is a danger to the children located in this place in the chairs “against the direction of movement”. This was reported only by a small icon and a text message on the passenger sun visor. None of these references reports the possibility of a child to receive severe or even fatal injury. The manufacturer promised to improve the quality of informing. The seats showed themselves well during the frontal impact, but the mount with a seat belt was difficult.
Side blow:
To protect the chest, abdominal and pelvic parts during a side blow in the door, airbags are installed. They worked satisfactorily, but a large load came into the driver's hand. The curtain "shot" from the roof to protect the heads of the riders of both rows. She worked well, but when hitting the pillar, it was not completely revealed, and in other circumstances of the mala and not to fulfill its functions.
Pedestrian safety:
The evaluation of pedestrians was carried out according to the old method, and by a new assessment of this car was not carried out, so the results are not given.
