Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of VW ID.7 2023

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 and the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated
▶ 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.

Damn this is straight up better than the EQE

[@shadow9537]

super impressive

[@R-R-R-R-R]

Sidepole ist very good

[@EinkOLED]

It scored 95% which is the highest amongst all the others recently uploaded.

[@philippelemaire2887]

Usually ele ctric car perform well the side pole

[@Swiss4.2]

How did it do poorly? It literally did better than the Mercedes EQE, go compare the two and look how much the EQE's roof deformed compared to the ID.7.

[@vp6087]

@@EinkOLED No matter if it hit a real pole or real 2.5 ton car instead of 1000 kg air ballon

[@warphalak]

That side poll, man.

[@hubertwalter1749]

thats where most electric cars shine because of the heavy and rigid battery in the floor.

[@nimaxxx301]

tnx for saftey

[@rendaddy_]

why don't all car videos show night time pedestrian tests?

[@AIRDRAC]

They only test for things the manufacturer claims that the car can do - if the manufacturer doesn't say that it supports night time pedestrian protection, it just automatically fails that test :)

[@achaz_]

absolutely love this car

[@andiundertaker]

Add small overlap and increase the speeds of crashes and size of the oncoming car.

[@zaphod2]

2:19 great overall, but why does the car not brake in this situation and instead hit the pedestrian? I mean obviously it would have the capability to brake, but it doesn't.

[@jellyd4889]

Corner. Probably not implemented? Requirement from 2029 onwards? Anyone know?

[@matthiasw.4636]

No car is 100% fault-free 🤔

[@adamriese3610]

in the German configurator is the head and side Airbag optional (front and back) if you order the interieur package +, so the here tested version is not the base one? its sad, that safety costs extra and is not standard at such a high priced car

[@raphi25895]

This is an error in the configurator, as the head, side and center airbags are also mentioned in the standard equipment.

Can any say at what speed car crash test has done🤨🤔??

[@crestas9]

I think it’s either 64kmp or 50kph as it was in the older crash tests

Cars withstand collisions well. People come second. My friend, an active ice hockey player, died in a direct collision with a wall, his liver ruptured. Lost control of his car in slippery conditions at 60 km/h.

[@nakfan]

My condolences - so sad to hear that 😔

[@HWme]

He is in a better place and in a state of wellbeing now. Good wishes to you and to your friend.

[@kalleb9151]

Sad to hear but people don't come second. It's just that at a certain point the deceleration is just to strong and you can't help here. Cars must be larger to soften the decel / jerk.

[@dr-ok3sn]

that's what I call desperately chasing for clout with bs

[@mcwater3439]

Is your point that a cars safety systems is meant to protect the car?

[@filledwithvariousknowledge2747]

Any new car should be able to get a minimum of 4 stars (5 should still be the goal) once in the B category and higher so the VW I.D series is no exception (it’s also a while still until the 1 A category city caris ready) Only Dacia still can’t even get 3 stars because they are so cheap with safety

[@sebastianstoica578]

Would you pay 3-4k more for a Dacia with more safety tech on it? I think that increase in the price would defeat the purpose of a cheap-ish car.

[@filledwithvariousknowledge2747]

There shouldn’t have to be safety cut to be cheaper to buy. Dacia should know this and it’s why I’ll pay a bit more elsewhere and 4 stars at minimum

[@sebastianstoica578]

​@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 , so what exactly are you saying? 1: Safety tech is free and Dacia is just mean that they don't want to implement it? 2: Safety tech is not free, but Dacia should implement it, sell the cars at the same low price and run the company at a loss? 3: Safety tech is not free, and they should implement it, but in order to sell cars at the same price, they should make cuts somewhere else? Maybe offer it without paint, or a dashboard? 4: Dacia should perform magic and you don't care how they do it, you just want it done because you are entitled to it? Which one is it?

[@LivingTheDream77]

The dummy car’s mass needs to be at least doubled to accurately represent the mass of the avg electric vehicle.

[@The1QwertySky]

that makes 0 sense

[@LivingTheDream77]

@@The1QwertySky why ? The electric vehicles are much heavier than gas cars. If everyone buys EVs, then people would be crashing against EVs, not ICE cars. And since EVs are heavier, we need the dummy cart to represent the mass of the average EV.

[@omell84]

I wonder if a battery was installed during the tests

[@ShadowHolder748]

Of course, the battery acts as a major structural component in many electric cars and huge source of weight. They would not perform properly in crash tests without the battery installed.

[@AB-og4eg]

Euro NCAP is not consistent, videos cannot be compared between more cars. Always a different camera shot. VW hit two pedestrians and has 83% -:), funny

[@sebastianstoica578]

The 2019 VW Golf's rear door opened during the side mobile barrier test, and it still got 5 stars, and 95% for adult ocuppants and 89% for child ocuppants, which is a sinister joke in my opinion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hauZeWiurs-harM&ab_channel=EuroNCAP

[@Jonbe88]

vw send 1.000.000€ to NCAP

[@Alvin_Anderson]

​@@Jonbe88Lol 🤣

[@hansgans297]

Just because the camera angles aren't consistent, doesn't mean that the test and results aren't.

[@raphi25895]

If there are 10 tests, it works for the vulnerable road users. With 8 good ones you are at 80%

[@chocolate-nm5pk]

80% for safety assist? Wow really bad. 🤣
