Euro NCAP has rapidly become a catalyst for encouraging significant safety improvements to new car design
The BMW i3 has missed out on getting top marks in the Euro NCAP safety tests.The model in question has scored 86 percent in Adult Occupant, 81 percent in Child Occupant, 57 percent in Pedestrian Safety and 55 percent in Safety Assist. The tested vehicle was a 5-door hatchback in the standard trim, weighing 1,250 kg.
The Ford EcoSport which is sold in India has also scored a 4-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, with 93 percent in Adult Occupant, 77 percent in Child Occupant, 58 percent in Pedestrian Safety and 55 percent in Safety Assist. This is actually safer when it comes to protecting its passengers than the BMW i3 because the only affected body areas were marked as Adequate. The tested vehicle was an EcoSport Titanium, weighing 1,350 kg.
