Crash Test 2000 - 2002 Mercedes Benz E430 (Frontal Impact) IIHS

Mercedes E class
2000-02 models mfg. after Jan. 2000
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Good Good Good Good Good Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Mercedes E class was redesigned for the 1996 model year.

All 1997 and later E class models manufactured after January 1997 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. Additional structural changes were made beginning with 2000 E class models manufactured after January 2000 (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the roof rail hit was low.

the airbag definetely went off at great responsive timing, however thae frontal body held up HORRIBLY. I just recently sold my w210 E320. If i had seen this video a while ago, i probly would not have evn bought it in the first place

@mario022594 @mario022594 um... shut the fuck up? read my comments fcking retard

[mario022594]

@alexkvaskov you are an idiot it´s a 40m.p.h frontal offset when only 40% of the fron end of the vehicles crash with the barrier.

[alexkvaskov]

i KNOW! who would think that the test shown is at 5 mph

[4MATICbenz]

much better than the 96-97 E-class w210, but ive still seen better Mercedes crashes than this

[4MATICbenz]

thats what i just said genius. thanks alot for repeating me

[alexkvaskov]

well the bumper tests are 5 mph genius

look who's explaining shit to me, i have an effing car. this is the standard 40mph offset test

frigging idiot

[4MATICbenz]

whoa. you got my comment pretty quick. anyway, clearly you are the retarded one. you honestly think that was 5 mph!!! yeah, cuz 5 mph would most def cause that much frontal damage. IIHS has standardized frontal and side impact crash tests at 40 m.p.h. ANd for the last time, safety is a crucial thing to consider when buying a car. SAFETY, PERFORMANCE, and FUEL EFFICIENCY are most people's top three factors of buying a car new or used
