Skoda Karoq - Crash Tests 2017

Euro NCAP has published the safety ratings of eight new vehicles: the Volvo XC60 in the large off-road category; the VW T-Roc, Skoda Karoq and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the small off-road category; the Citroën C3 Aircross and Opel Crossland X small MPV category; and two superminis – the new VW Polo and the SEAT Ibiza’s partner, the Arona. All cars achieve a maximum five-star rating. The passenger compartment of the Karoq remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Škoda demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid-barrier test, protection of both occupants was good or adequate except for the chest of the rear passenger, protection of which was rated as marginal. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Karoq scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other parts of the body was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving at which many whiplash injuries are caused, with collisions avoided or mitigated at all test speeds.
