In the Euro NCAP test only 40% of the vehicle width is impacted into a deformable barrier face, whereas in the US NCAP test 100% of the vehicle width is impacted into a flat rigid wall. The Euro NCAP test provides a more stringent test of the vehicle’s structure/bodyshell and is more representative of real world accidents.
