Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of Volvo EX30 2024

Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
▶ a frontal impact test where 50% of the width of the car strikes an oncoming deformable barrier, travelling at 50 km/h
▶ a frontal impact test where the car impacts a full-width rigid barrier
▶ a side impact test where a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
▶ a pole test where the car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole and the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated
▶ a whiplash test performed on a sled.

A series of pedestrian tests are also conducted with different impactors: adult and child head form, and lower and upper leg form. As well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests. In 2023, a test scenario for Cyclist Dooring Prevention was introduced.

Active safety is rated based on the performance of the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car and car-to-motorcycle scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders, fatigue, distraction, and impairment), lane support, and speed assistance technologies.

Wow, it hits a pedestrian and the score is 79 the yaris passed all the test and got a 78. WTF?

They use a nice tv commercial about the pedestrian safety and such but this just shows how bad it actually is... just plowed through multiple pedestrians without even thinking about emergency braking...

Volvo what happened to your software? :/

Great car, with imazing safety, bravo volvo

zeekr has basically the same car, but it did loads better. What is going on, Volvo?

[StuMunro]

Shame the safety systems are actually dangerous. Did you not test them in the real world? Lane assist tries to attack cyclists or pedestrians stepping into the road instead of letting you steer around them. Speed limit systems make sudden speed changes due to incorrect data (risk of rear end collisions). Distracts the driver at roundabouts warning about cars approaching from the right using the roundabout when stationary. Driver can't do much about that when stationary.

Outperformed by Zeekr X, BYD Dolphin, smart #1, Cupra Born etc.

Volvo is no longer a leading brand when it comes to safety…

[Billywoo]

Disappointing when Volvo no longer owns its USP. That's what NCAP standards will do in the long term, kill innovation but lowest common denominator thinking...
