The all-new SEAT Leon has been awarded a five-star safety rating from testing organisation Euro NCAP. The result is a demonstration of the work completed during the Leon’s development to create a car that delivers one of the safest vehicles on the market, especially as Euro NCAP’s testing methods have become even more challenging in 2020.A key change for 2020 Euro NCAP’s testing procedures is the introduction of the moving barrier to moving car frontal crash test, replacing the moderate offset-deformable barrier test. The test helps the organisation to evaluate the protection of occupants inside the car, but also assesses how the cars’ front-end structurers contribute to.That isn’t the only change in the testing procedure. Side impacts have been updated to include adjustments to the near-side barrier test speed and mass, increasing the severity of the test. And for the first time Euro NCAP evaluates far-side impact protection, focusing on driver protection and the potential interaction between driver and front seat passenger.
SEAT is refreshing its successful Ateca with the introduction of the 2020 version. The revamped vehicle will build on its compact SUV attributes, adding a refreshed and more emotional appearance both inside and outside, a fully connected user experience, improved levels of safety and comfort and increased efficiency.When it was first launched, the SEAT Ateca brought a new dimension to the compact SUV market; it was the perfect match for urban life, offering a spacious, practical and versatile SUV with a unique style. And its clear character, emotional design and dynamic personality has been added into the new version.
Volvo - Child Safety in the front seat
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femursof the driver and passenger. It was shown that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to thosesitting in different positions. Chest protection of both dummies was marginal. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the chest wasagain marginal for both occupants, with other critical body areas well or adequately protected. In the side barrier impact, all critical bodyareas were well protected and the car scored maximum points in this test. In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest wasadequate and that of other body areas was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection againstwhiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection. Anautonomous emergency braking (AEB) system is not available.

In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good for the driver. However, for the rear passenger,dummy readings indicated a marginal level of protection for the chest. A penalty was also applied as a result of high shoulder belt forcesand protection of the chest was rated as poor. In the side barrier impact, all critical body areas were well protected and the car scoredmaximum points in this test. In the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body areas wasgood. However, the side door of the car became detached during the test and the score was penalised for the risk of occupant ejection.Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. Ageometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB)system performed adequately in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur.
