Crash Test 2008 Ford Kuga ( Full Test ) EuroNcap

Comments
Front impact
The passenger compartment remained stable in the impact. However, there was insufficient pressure in the driver's airbag to prevent the head from bottoming it out and contacting the steering wheel. The knees and femurs of the front seat passengers were well protected. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided for occupants of different sizes or those sat in different positions.

Side impact
The Kuga scored maximum points for its performance in the side impact and pole tests.

Child-protection
Based on dummy responses in the dynamic tests, the Kuga scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy. A switch can be fitted by Ford dealers which allows the passenger airbag to be disabled. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. There was no clear warning of the dangers associated with using a rearward facing child restraint in the front passenger seat without first disabling the airbag. The presence of ISOFIX anchorages in the rear outboard seats was not clearly marked.

Pedestrian protection
The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs. However, the front edge of the bonnet was rated as predominantly poor, as was the protection offered to the head of a struck adult by the bonnet surface.

Don't argue about the test results! you don't know shit unless you are a sensor! NCAP uses all kinds of sensors and technology in their tests! and this got 5 star. and i quote here: "Side impact: The Kuga scored maximum points for its performance in the side impact and pole tests." so shut the fck up! haters!

@wtrdogg20 my dad has one of these and i can assure you that it is doing pretty well in "light off roading" ...

[patc161]

I just got one today, its my new baby!

[wtrdogg20]

Ok, was there any reason to call me Dumb?? you FUCKING MOTHEFUCKER!!!

For your information, That for Kuga could be "safe", but IT IS THE WORST SUV IN THE SEGMENT...STARTING WITH ITS SHITTY 4WD SYSTEM, So innefficient and useless as You...fucking british bastard!! Just check it by yourself, Google it, it fails all the off road tests....even the ugly Nissan Quashqai is better than Kuga. At the end, who the fuck needs a car like this with its price if it cannot be taken for light off roading?.

[jaffacake1578]

well, actually all cars crush, it is called crumple zones, oh yeah cos your'e too dumb to know that, and also the kuga did crush a lot but it didn't intrude much into the compartment and at least ford has a knee, and side airbags, unlike the 2009 CITROEN!

[wtrdogg20]

Really??...I have seen better results from Pole Test....This car got so much impact intrusion after that pole test.

[jaffacake1578]

you mean pole test = passed! euro ncap say this was one of their best performers.
