NCAP Crash Test Results for Volkswagen Tiguan and Caddy
The European New Car Assessment Programme, or Euro NCAP as it is more popularly known, has just released the safety assessment results of its latest batch of vehicles. And two of the four examined vehicles are Volkswagen units, namely the new VW Tiguan and the VW Caddy.
The new VW Tiguan was the more successful of the two, garnering the coveted five-star rating for the adult occupant protection category. The vehicle also earned four stars in the child safety class and two stars in the category of pedestrian protection.
The new Tiguan tough body structure was said to have garnered perfect scores in the crash test’s side impact and pole tests. The front impact level also remained stable in the experiment, but there was the detection of possible minor knee discomforts that lowered the score.
Furthermore, it was proven how the Tiguan readily reacts to possible accidents. Upon force of impact, the Tiguan’s belt tensioners and airbags promptly deployed in accordance with the severity of the impact, hazard warning lights were activated, the doors went unlocked, interior lights switched open, and the fuel pump was deactivated.
With regards to the other examined Volkswagen unit, the VW Caddy was not able to beat the score of the Tiguan, but it was a relatively good rating nonetheless. The Caddy was given four stars in the adult occupant protection section, three stars in the child safety category, and two stars for pedestrian protection.
