ТОП-10 самых безопасных кроссоверов и внедорожников 2016-2017
Of course, choosing an SUV or crossover, we pay attention to safety. However, a rare driver when buying is impressed by the characteristics of the protective functions. Most often, a powerful engine or a high level of terrain, comfort and overall style of the crossover pushes for a serious decision.
Unfortunately, troubles happen even with the most experienced drivers, so the safety indicators of an SUV are a very important parameter.
Jeep Club studied video and photos of crash tests of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and we also got acquainted with the results of research conducted by the independent committee Euro NCAP.
Of course, business is not limited to these two organizations: there are about a dozen well-known committees in the world that professionally break new cars. There are groups in Latin America, China, Japan, Australia. But the toughest and, therefore, reliable, remain IIHS and Euro NCAP. The safest SUV, the safest crossover is determined precisely by the results of the crash test of these organizations.
At the same time, the rest are gradually tightening the level - so, relatively recently, the Japanese increased the speed at which the test collision occurs, and also added several new checks.
A special advantage of this crossover: an absolutely reliable emergency braking system. Which is already included in the basic package, which really can not be called anything other than an advantage. In general, Euro NCAP gave the car five stars, which corresponds to the highest level of protection. Regarding the level of protection of different groups of passengers and pedestrians, the list looks like this:
- adults and driver - 90%
- children - 87%
- pedestrians - 74%
- system evaluation - 77%
Also among the advantages: the lack of a serious impact of body weight, weight or method of location in the salon on the result of crash tests. And among the minuses - the probability of whiplash injuries. It is this reason that prompted us to put this beautiful crossover at the end of the rating - whiplash injuries are difficult to determine immediately after the incident and can have an effect on themselves with very serious consequences.
In general, all presented crossovers and SUVs have high safety ratings according to the versions of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the European Committee (Euro NCAP). All of these cars have passed a series of tests, including a variety of options for the development of emergency situations.
However, if you choose safety indicators when choosing a vehicle, and you want to purchase only the safest SUV or the safest crossover, it is best to have patience and study all the information about the model directly on the crash test organizers website.
You also need knowledge of the English language, because despite the existence of the Russian-language version of the site of the same European Commission, full information can be obtained only on the original resource.
