KIA EV6 vs Volvo C40 Electric - Crash Test
1,156,863
Published 2022-05-25
The sixth generation Opel/Vauxhall Astra and third generation Peugeot 308 are both based on the Stellantis EMP2 platform and, unsurprisingly, score very similarly across all four areas of assessment. Both the offset test and the full-width crash test highlighted marginal chest injury protection for average male and small female drivers, and neither car was equipped with a centre airbag for far-side crash protection, a countermeasure which is increasingly common on modern cars. Both cars offer plenty of crash avoidance technology but do not include some of the latest advancements introduced in the market. The cars’ four-star ratings apply also to their PHEV variants.
All of the five-star cars in this test series demonstrated excellent crash protection, with scores of 90% or more, compared to 76% and 80% for the Stellantis’ cars. This dispels the notion that the difference between 5 stars and 4 stars is always due to ADAS, although that is often also the case. The cars showed consistently good results for child occupant protection as well. The largest differences between the EV6, C-Class, C40 Recharge and Multivan can be found in VRU protection they offer, in particular front-end performance, where the C-Class, fitted with an active bonnet, outperforms the KIA EV6 by a significant margin. On overall assistance technology, the Volvo C40 Recharge came out on top. Despite its somewhat different, boxy shape, the VW Multivan put in a solid all-round result that was on a par with the cars tested.

뭔가 시험 점수에서 의구심이드네요. 어린이를 친 볼보가 사람을 다 피한 기아보다 점수가 더 많이 나오다니..

I love when you do a direct video compare of the impacts of the accidents on the occupants between the 2 cars it's clear that the effect is greater in the Volvo on both driver front passenger and rear passengers. Bits flying freely in the cabin. But the scores are higher. Unless the film speeds are different someone is fudging the figures.

What! There's airbags in-between the seats now! How'd I miss that 🙂

When a bicycle is more important than a child. 😂
-
So to get better score, the car needs to hit a pedestrian? Or it just 'must be' EU manufacturer? I'm confused.
