Euro NCAP Results for Dodge Caliber
Euro NCAP Results for Dodge Caliber With the introduction some time ago of the Child Occupant Protection rating it is important to refer to the ***** Occupant Protection rating correctly. In the past, this has been referred to as the ???Overall??? or ???Occupant??? rating. Neither of these is now satisfactory. The front impact test is conducted at 64km/h (40mph) into an offset deformable barrier, the side impact test 50km/h (30mph), the pole test at 29km/h (18mph) and the pedestrian tests at 40km/h (25mph). Comparison between Size Categories: It is essential that no attempt is made to compare the ratings between cars in different segments or mass groups. The frontal crash test aims to measure the performance of the car impacting another car of similar mass. There is no capability to determine what would happen if cars of widely different masses impact each other. It is not primarily the mass difference that has the effect, but the effect that mass has on the structural stiffness combined with the relative height of the structures from the ground.
