Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of VW Golf 2019 - Update

Update 2021: The VW Golf PHEV is a variant of the Golf. Some additional tests and checks have been done to ensure that the rating of the Golf, tested in 2019, applies to the hybrid variant. Euro NCAP performs a series of crash and safety tests on car models: - a frontal impact test, the car impacts a rigid barrier - an offset frontal impact test, 40% of the width of the car is striking a deformable barrier - a pole test, the tested car is propelled sideways into a rigid pole - a side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver’s door. 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. Active safety is tested based on the car’s equipment: autonomous emergency braking systems (car to car, with a pedestrian and a cyclist target), lane support and speed assist technologies and seatbelt reminders.
