Euro NCAP Crash Test of Ford Mustang

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.

For pedestran hit tests they should raise the speed to 200 km/h. That's when Mustang usually attacks.

The car is softer for protecting the crowds that's why it's 2 stars.

Read the full report. Pretty much if you fill the vehicle with passenger and crash at 30mph speed at least one of the passengers will be severely injured.
Weak airbags (too soft, head touches the dash/wheel) is not acceptable in any way. You think you have airbag but actually it is just fluffy pillow that doesn't keep you from hitting stuff with forehead.
And those are city speed tests. Imagine anything on highway. Hard to give 3 stars in 2017. Maybe 2012.

Watching the glass shatter in slo-mo on the side impact pole test is so cool

Pedestrian impact tests .. Only mustangs have that kind of impacts, LOL 😂😂 typical

0:21 Now, I've seen what Renault airbags from the 2000s look like but I've never seen an actual explosion on part of the airbag. I've never seen anything like this in Euro NCAP tests

This assessment of the Ford Mustang is based on the vehicle that has been on sale since 2015. Ford has informed Euro NCAP that
orders placed after May will receive an updated vehicle, which will be launched later in 2017, and will be equipped with Pre Collision Assist
(with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking) and Lane Keeping Aid.

would love a side-by-side comparison between this and lets say a 5 star rated volvo to see the difference

Автомобиль мечты...А они их на тестах бьют... Будь у меня такой, я бы аккуратно ездил и пылинки сдувал)

[losmeets]

I think the fact that it doesn't have AEB standard in any form is contributing to the fact that it got only two stars

[aaazzz]

the car still look prettier than a fiat or renault after it crashed

[Nightbird.]

Embarrassing for Ford and America in general. And THIS is why I drive a Mercedes Benz and make sure the rest of my family does too. All those pretty looks and powerful engines mean NOTHING if they can't protect you and your family from death. Shame on you, Ford.

Według specjalistów, w aucie brakuje odpowiednich systemów bezpieczeństwa, które występują w serii w europejskich modelach. Mowa tutaj o systemie odpowiedzialnym za ostrzeganie o niebezpieczeństwie z przodu pojazdu oraz asystencie utrzymania pasa ruchu.
Legendarny Mustang nowej generacji miał także wpadkę bezpośrednio podczas terów czołowych. Jak się okazało, poduszki powietrzne w dostatecznym stopniu nie napełniły się powietrze, w trakcie zderzenia odpadła podsufitka, a manekin symulujący pasażera z tyłu wysunął się z pasów bezpieczeństwa, co realnie zwiększa ryzyko uszkodzenia ciała i narządów podczas wypadku. Ford Mustang GT w kategorii bezpieczeństwa pasażerów otrzymał 72%, w kategorii bezpieczeństwa pieszych w trakcie kolizji 64%.

You should first read on the page what the stars mean: Quote: "Nominal impact protection but no accident avoidance technology." Have a nice day!

[AArata]

Is this the reason these muscle cars are so cheap? Or reason for "the best bang for your buck"?

[headcas]

Thank you for ruining car design due to the pedestrian tests.

[BigAngeloSantorini]

I really wanted to buy this car :( If it would have four stars, then i would buy it, but 2 stars in unforgivable. This results is a disaster. Ford should be ashamed.

Wise Clarkson say: Under-Engineered American Rubbish!

[ConstantineJoseph]

Guys, this car isn't designed by Americans entirely. The exterior is done by a BRIT. Never buy British products.

I used to own a Rover back in the late 90s, everything started to crumble, the windows can't even stay in place and slide down into the cars side doors. It was pathetic! Glad the Germans bought them all over.

[brbhavepp]

The only thing I like about this mustang is the v8 sound and how it looks from outside. Security could be better
