They are absolutely not necessary for the car, which has recently entered the market, to be able to go on the road. And yet, they still remain an almost irreplaceable part in the life of a car and an excellent argument for customers, provided, of course, a good result. These are crash tests carried out by the independent body EuroNCAP, which is responsible for testing all cars that have recently entered the market. And the latter has just presented a new round of ratings, while about fifteen cars have been tested in recent weeks. Among them is the new Honda Civic, Nissan Ariya, SUV Smart #1, Renault Austral or even Range Rover Sport and Toyota bZ4x. But they especially talk about two cars.

The Tesla that dominates everything
First, this Tesla Model S. If the sedan is not completely new, the brand is still constantly improving it, regularly releasing security patches. And this is visible, as the star of the line receives a maximum rating of five stars. But that’s not all. Indeed, it also managed to get the 2nd best result ever recorded, just behind another model from the brand, Tesla Model Y. The sedan then scores 94% for adult protection, 91% for children, 85% for vulnerable users and 98% in driver assistance.
Disappointing DS 9
Another car that will mark these tests is this DS9, but not for the right reasons this time. Indeed, the French sedan is the only one out of 15 tested cars that did not receive five stars. And this is because the damage it causes in a head-on collision with another vehicle is considered too great“. Then the flagship of the three-color brand shows 79% for the protection of adults, 86% for children, 67% for vulnerable users and the same figure for driver aids.
We are happy to partner with Tesla Service to provide service during the same hours as often as possible! Application of Formula 1 crew technique to Tesla.
