Euro NCAP Crash Test of VW Arteon

Euro NCAP Frontal Impact takes place at 64 Km/h, 40% of the width of the car striking a deformable barrier. In the Full Width test, 100% of the width of the car impacts a rigid barrier at 50 Km/h. In the side impact, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door at 50 km/h. In the pole test, the car tested is propelled sideways at 32 km/h into a rigid pole.

Our family car is one of these at a similar spec and about a month ago got in a slow speed collision. Tbh its a tank. The only damage is that the bonnets lifted, snapped passenger wheelarch/bumper, paint scratches on pass bumper and paint scratch on drivers door due to lifted bonnet. And that is repairable.

For Volkswagen is a good result, not usually very good on safety, nice cat too

Another one of those cars with lazy engineering, deploying both side curtain airbags when only one is needed. Why do you need the passenger side curtain airbag in a driver side impact or driver side frontal offset impact? Why do you need any curtain airbag in a full frontal impact?

The driver side curtain airbag is a lifesaver in side and pole impacts and helps out in a driver side offset impact, in a full frontal it's not needed. None of these impacts required a passenger side curtain airbag deployment.

Why did all the airbags go off on the frontal impact!? That's so stupid, the curtain air bags would have partially deafened any passengers and produce a lot of heat leading to unnecessary burns. The car should be able to detect and know which airbags need to be deployed, not just deploy all of for no reason whatsoever.
