Seneste sikkerhed priser anerkender fremskridt i kollision beskyttelse, med en skuffende viser fra en manufacturerVehicle safety standards agency Euro NCAP har udgivet crash-test-resultater for 15 nye biler, herunder de Dacia Lodgy, som det lykkedes en dårlig tre-stjernet rating. Alle de andre biler, der er testet fået de maksimale fem stjerner i alt. Den Lodgy kom i særlig kritik for sin manglende sikkerhed-hjælpe-teknologi, et område, der er blevet et vigtigt element i crash-test-processen. Dens lav sikkerhed rating kan være katastrofale for Lodgys succes, skal det nogensinde kommer til Det Forenede Kongerige, som det har at kæmpe med de usædvanligt sikker Renault Scenic og Citroen C4 Picasso i familie-orienterede MPV marked. Dr Michiel van Ratingen, generalsekretær for Euro NCAP, sagde: det er skuffende at se Lodgy gøre dårligt i vores test, især kommer blot en uge efter Sandero, mærkevarer en Renault i Sydamerika, fik en dårlig én stjerne rating af Latin NCAP. Lodgy er et køretøj, budget og kunder vil acceptere kompromiser i komfort og ydeevne, men ikke sikkerhed. Euro NCAP mener, ombordværendes sikkerhed bør være afgørende, uanset hvor meget de skal betale for deres køretøj. Trods det, at 91% for voksen beboer beskyttelse, Land Rover har meddelt, at det er at passe whiplash protection til den nye Range Rover, det eneste område, hvor beskyttelsen blev anset for marginal. Plug-in-hybrid-version af Volvo V60 også klaret sig godt, matchende resultat af den konventionelt drevne model trods en vægt på nogle 350kg mere. Den nye Volkswagen Golf, Mercedes A-klasse og Ford Fiesta alle modtaget anerkendelse for deres høje niveauer af sikkerheden ombord hjælpe-teknologi. Golf er udstyret med en Multi kollision bremsesystem, der automatisk bringer bilen til standsning efter en kollision, skal mindske mulighederne for yderligere skader. Sin proaktive beboer beskyttelse system yderligere afbøder potentielle skade ved påvisning af en forestående kollision og forberede biler aktive sikkerhedssystemer i beredskab. På trods af dette, Golf fået en forholdsvis lav 71 pct. i sikkerhed hjælpe kategori, skyldes udeladelse af standard-fit bageste sikkerhedssele påmindelser. Ford MyKey teknologi blev fremhævet for særlig ros. Systemet tillader ejere hen til levere andre drivere hos en separat nøglen, som kan programmeres til at begrænse topfart, forhindre elektroniske sikkerhedssystemer i at være slukket, og mange andre parametre.

All of the other cars tested scored the maximum five stars overall. The Lodgy came in for particular criticism for its lack of safety-assist technology, an area that has become an important feature in the crash test process. Its low safety rating could prove disastrous to the Lodgys success, should it ever come to the UK, as it has to contend with the exceptionally safe Renault Scenic and Citroen C4 Picasso in the family-oriented MPV market. Dr Michiel van Ratingen, secretary general of Euro NCAP, said: It is disappointing to see the Lodgy do badly in our tests, especially coming just a week after the Sandero, branded a Renault in South America, was given a poor one star rating by Latin NCAP. The Lodgy is a budget vehicle and customers will accept compromises in comfort and performance, but not safety. Euro NCAP believes that occupants safety should be paramount, regardless of how much they pay for their vehicle. Despite scoring 91 per cent for adult occupant protection, Land Rover has announced that it is to fit whiplash protection to the new Range Rover, the only area where protection was considered marginal. The plug-in hybrid version of the Volvo V60 also performed well, matching the score of the conventionally powered model despite weighing some 350kg more. The new Volkswagen Golf, Mercedes A-class and Ford Fiesta all received recognition for their high levels of on-board safety assist technology. The Golf is equipped with a Multi Collision Brake System, which automatically brings the car to a halt after a collision, to reduce the potential for further damage. Its Proactive Occupant Protection system further mitigates potential injury by detecting an impending collision and preparing the cars active safety systems in readiness. Despite this, the Golf scored a relatively low 71 per cent in the safety assist category, due to the omission of standard-fit rear seatbelt reminders. Fords MyKey technology was singled out for particular praise. The system allows owners to provide other drivers with a separate key, which can be programmed to limit top speed, prevent electronic safety systems from being turned off, as well as numerous other parameters. The results in full: Dacia Lodgy – Three stars Fiat 500L – Five stars Ford Fiesta – Five stars Ford Kuga – Five stars Hyundai Santa Fe – Five stars Mercedes Benz A Class – Five stars Mitsubishi Outlander – Five stars Opel/Vauxhall Mokka – Five stars Range Rover – Five stars Seat Leon – Five stars Seat Toledo – Five stars Skoda Rapid – Five stars Subaru Forester – Five stars Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid – Five stars VW Golf – Five stars
