Euro NCAP Crash & Safety Tests of VW ID. Buzz 2022

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 and the robustness of the centre airbag is evaluated.
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.

The center airbag design looks very elaborate 😯

[@sekopiski]

The design is very human.

[@Wasabi9111]

I wish car would have center airbags for the US market.

[@JonathanLong]

I’ve never seen one before, looks very safe

[@Blank-777]

Very impressive despite its short crumple zone

[@nickbien]

and its safety for crashing into other smaller vehicles is impressive too
especially after seeing the lucid air fling that dummy barrier car flying in the 40% offset test

[@captainuki]

I think crumple zone isn't that short. If you look at interior you see very long dashboard. It remembers me on older version of Renault Espace where occupants sits far away from windshield.

[@Blank-777]

@@captainuki What really worries me is the small overlap test. Sales in America is expected on 3rd quarter 2023, and IIHS will test it.
The vehicle stood up well in this test, but I'm not so sure of the footwell area when it's a small overlap.

[@nickbien]

@@captainuki the crumple zone is really only the front of the car to the start of the A pillar.
You can see this in the 100% overlap front crash test

[@user-op7vy5ny4r]

​@nickbien the real a pillar is where the edge of the front door window is.

[@Jorg3Pinto]

2:11 Is that a Steve Rogers Lego minifigure hidden in the windshield coil cover?

[@Just.Ryumeko]

This Car is a Tank. VW never miss in these years

[@Tinyfrogonaleaf]

Thank you Euro NCAP!

[@mathimatze5570]

Super sicheres Auto! Gerade in dieser Fahrzeugklasse eine Seltenheit.

[@randomcrashingfacility31]

I really wish the 40 percent offset test was not abandoned for the slow MPDB test

[@Timico1000]

Why?

[@randomcrashingfacility31]

@@Timico1000 the MPDB test is less severe for heavier vehicles. For example the Hyundai Staria suffers some structural cabin damage in the 40 offset test (you can see in K-NCAPs test with some difficulty thanks to the horrible editing) but doesn't in MPDB test of EuroNCAP.

[@georgevavoulis4758]

I agree . I prefer they test in
1 full front solid barrier
2 40% front offset into fixed blue
deformable cube
3side impact by mobile carriage
4 rear impact by moving carriage
5 roof strength
6 rate outward visibility from drivers
place
7 have real NUMBERS to see EXACTLY what forces are absorbed by vehicle safety structures.

[@markussj2126]

we really need small overlap in europe

[@markussj2126]

[@tomm1109]

That first test. Good to know if you are in East LA and get hit by a low-rider. But what about all the trucks and suvs everywhere?

[@eminescinescu]

Why is there no interest in putting front airbags for rear passengers?

[@haidengameplays]

I like Volkswagen id buzz

[@haidengameplays]

Really safe

[@konwix.a8556]

The New ID. Buzz in 2022 Not in 1966

[@sassiqua]

so y’all are still doing a full frontal test (which went out of relevancy over 20 years ago) instead of doing a small overlap test? which literally everyone else BUT euroncap are doing… sounds lazy and flawed to me.

[@crestas9]

I think a full frontal crash happens more often but I agree with your point

[@sassiqua]

@@crestas9 uhhh i absolutely do not think so. cars do not collide 100% front on, usually it’s 40% or less. go to any junkyard and you’ll see that the majority of crashes are small overlaps and moderate overlaps. the only way you would be in a full overlap is if you were to hit a wall of bricks head on.

[@crestas9]

@@sassiqua yeah that’s true but if a crash happens at the end of some traffic jam because someone brakes too late it’s always full frontal or let’s say someone crashes into another one at a red light.
But I gotta agree that small overlap is quite often

[@sassiqua]

@@crestas9 that’s normally at a lower speed though, and the crash energy is absorbed differently. besides, the car manufacturers conduct full frontal tests on their own behalf to adhere to standard government testing, making the euroncap full frontal even more obsolete.

[@randuru]

​@@crestas9 I think for these situations you have these automatic brake systems - to avoid a crash in the first place.

[@Beko500ProGolover]

1:33 did anyone notice the sliding door seemed to open or partially open? Thought I’d point this out.

[@cepibolla]

Yep, it opened

[@georgevavoulis4758]

What else do you expect in that test . It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to pass that one with 100% . I wish they tested vehicle in 35mph FULL REAR crash .and OUTWARD VISIBILITY from drivers place .

[@Beko500ProGolover]

@@cepibolla I thought it did.

[@Beko500ProGolover]

@@georgevavoulis4758 I thought they might have fixed that issue ever since the sharan had the same issue. Not that I dislike VW nor do I dislike this vehicle. Just wanted to point out a potential design flaw.

[@jenny80myles]

The B pillar got pushed in by the pole but the door itself didn't move/open

[@softwaresignals]

They must be running a crumple zone under the passenger compartment's floor. Very clever. And that forward windshield pretty much stayed intact. Oh, but should they really be using college interns on bikes like that? Seems mean. 😀

[@ibiw740]

Nays

[@Wasmachineman]

Has there been any car in recent history to score >90% for the Safety Assist category?

[@cnbkyn4139]

Qashqai=95%

[@alsmith358]

Teslas score a 98%.

[@officialTVS]

​@@alsmith358 they're talking about less than 90% score on safety assist

[@addamrobin2]

How can something so big seats only 5?

[@chefcjnobles1680]

That’s actually the short wheelbase version. We are getting the longer 3 row version in the USA. We won’t get this one.

[@elpapu_ofc]

la que me estoy por comprar (de juguete obviamente)

[@fhs7838]

AEB failed at all horizontal cyclist test... Even at open space, no barrier, still failed to stop...

[@garyrea2320]

So many experts in this comments section, Jesus get a life.

[@marc1979]

Open doors again, at pole test.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

Run this through a series of tests by IIHS it would receive a poor rating in everything. If you're going to conduct crash tests do it that represent real world scenarios

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

@Justinian Yi would not happen I can tell by the design. A small overlap test would absolutely destroy this

[@RockyFoxxowo]

@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 time will tell, and by the looks it would pass crash avoidance and the moderate overlap test just fine, and these tests do represent real world scenarios? Anyway, the ratings don't lie

[@jacquesw3086]

It will pass with ease.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

Just wait until it's subjected to this test and the small overlap lol. 💀☠️

[@Wasabi9111]

Why don't you think it'll perform well in the US IIHS tests?

[@paullacey2999]

Looks like an old Renault Espace.....

[@dragosdragos2024]

Very weak, unfortunelly :(

[@bethmartin7715]

It got destroyed
