Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of Land Rover Defender 2020

Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models:
- a frontal impact test, 50% of the width of the car is striking an oncoming deformable barrier, also travelling at 50 km/h
- a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid full width barrier
- a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door
- a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole.
A series of pedestrian tests are conducted with different impactors, adult and child head form, lower and upper leg form and whiplash tests are performed on a sled as well as AEB pedestrian and cyclist tests.
Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking car-to-car scenarios, occupant status monitoring (including seatbelt reminders), lane support and speed assistance technologies.

There are very few cars that have done the ncap head on crash that didn't crack the windshield or puncture the front tyres. That is very impressive.

It looks really secure, really nice job. Love the defender btw

After the crash:
No broken bones but a broke dude

[EtherealMisconduct]

This car lives up to its name!!! Love this car a lot!!!

Finally! Was waiting to see this. Apart from off-road capabilities, I require decent safe systems. I'm pleased to say, that it meets my expectations.

Where have those Jeep Wranglers fans gone to now? The Wrangler only got a 1 star rating!

It definitely means it's name Defender. The defence it provides for it's passenger during a crash is fantastic!! Good job Tata Motors 👌😊👍.

[crazydrifter]

Definitely one of the best crash tests I've seen

Thank you NCAP for transparent and honest safetychecks. In my opinion, a 4 min video tells me more then 100 sheets of paper praising the safety of a car. Thanks!

[gtlegacy]

Definitely one of the safest car because most of the time it will be sitting in the dealers servicing department.

[micjubba]

Best ive seen on the crash tests some car like well done to designer's and engineers manufacturers 👍👌👏👏👏👏

[TonyStark-mpzv]

It's crazy how stiff the chassis is, especially compared to the old defender

[anthonydosomestuff]

Is this a tank or an SUV? Maybe it's both!

[beaviccoon]

Those plastic tread plates on the bonnet are stronger than they look. Good job land rover 👍

[arundhiman]

It Really Justifies It's name 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[harshkumarnetam]

[businessblokes]

Euro NCAP : Let's test the New Defender
Defender : Let me end this man's whole career

[JackMustang]

It’s amazing how amazingly built these high end cars are.

[johngulbarga]

I am shocked to see a b and c pillar in such good condition

[fatpigeon]

Lol it barely flinched in the frontal offset, cos its so big and heavy
