Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of MG ZS Hybrid 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
▶ a whiplash test performed on a sled.

A series of pedestrian tests are also conducted with different impactors: adult and child head form, 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.

Good score
Its a budget hybrid SUV so don't expect it to score 5 stars

What has MG done? The previous EV model was one of the safest cars on the road.

En Australia MG ha sacado un comunicado reconociendo el problema de pérdida total de potencia cuando se queda sin batería en incorporaciones y adelantamientos de forma repentina y dice que lo va a solucionar mediante una actualización de software. Pero para Europa no hay ningún comunicado de MG a los clientes ni hay anunciada ninguna actualización para solucionar el problema. Hasta que no se solucione, si es que se soluciona, es muy peligroso quedarse absolutamente sin potencia repentinamente en una incorporación o un adelantamiento. Por otro lado, acaba de sacar un 4 escaso en las pruebas de seguridad NCAP. Hasta que eso no se solucione, si es que tiene solución (al parecer en Europa no la tiene) es un peligro sacar un coche así a carretera. NCAP también debería asegurarse de que los coches sean seguros en carretera antes de que se produzca un accidente y no tengan pérdidas de potencia repentinas en situaciones peligrosas.

Its safety systems are better than the Volvo.

Safety is paramount, so I'll be sticking to my car with 5 stars.
If I replace it then no less than 5 stars...it's not good enough these days to have less than 5 stars
